There are wonderful essential oils which help to raise the immune system, ward of illness and kill viruses and bacteria. Cinnamon, Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, Lemon and Clove are ones you can take internally with some precaution. Limit use to one or two drops at a time and for no longer than several days. Externally there are Ravenstara, Black Spruce, Eucalyptus to name a few. I have created a blend called Clean and Clear which combines many of these oils. I use them externally in a spray mixed with a little bit of alcohol and water. Use it to clean my hands. Much safer to use than the chemicals in anti-bacterial soaps and gels. I also use the spray to clean counters in the kitchen and bathrooms. Full strength, I put a drop on my inner wrist and a couple of drops on the bottom of my feet. Seems to stop any bug in its tracks.
