I think we can all relate when it comes to doing anything we can, or perhaps I should say “try anything we can” when it comes to the health of our children.
I’m in the process of trying out something that is very crunchy granola even for me! The world of essential oils and aromatherapy is opening up to me in my household right now….. And I may just be becoming a believer (gasp!!!).
I am coming off of 3 months of continuous snotty noses and coughs, but more importantly some heavy hitting sicknesses. The flu, hand foot and mouth, roto virus, to name a few (as if I need anything more).
So my good friend who is not in any way holistic, crunchy, or granola….. In fact she is the exact opposite of that, recommended the Do Terra essential oils brand to me to help fight off the Heebie Jeebies. I went in this open minded and with an open wallet!!!!
My initial investment was about $300. I bought 4 aromatherapy humidifiers, wild orange, on gaurd, breathe, eucalyptus, and lavender oils. I already am a big coconut oil user, so I had that on hand.
I immediately started all the kids on breathe and eucalyptus in the humidifier to open up their lungs and nasal passages, I can say it really did help. I ran that sucker all day and all night.
Were they magically healed over night, no of course not! But I did begin to notice a difference. I have diligently used the on guard (for staving off sickness) on my eldest son and he has not gotten any of the yuckies the littles have gotten!
My favorite thing, and the most noticeable oil for me has been the lavender. I started rubbing this on my littles feet at night with some coconut oil to help them sleep better. If anyone knows my littles they know that they don’t sleep! Caris (1.5yrs) cries out about horsies in her sleep all night and looks for her pacifier constantly. Cavan (2.5) fights, cries, yells, punches, with his brother all night long in dreams! He walks the halls. It’s miserable!
So, when I tell you they slept through the first night I was shocked! The next night, the next night, hallelujah this stuff really works!!!!! These kids are knocked out! They are snoring, drooling, knocked out asleep!!!!!
I tried the lavender on my feet one night just to see, and I am telling you sweet baby Jesus this was the best sleep I have gotten in years! I am hooked on this lavender and have become a believer! I am still using all the other oils, but I can stand behind the lavender (or sleep behind it:)
I am shocked by how these oils have made a difference in my home so quickly. I still use modern medicine of course, but I can’t deny the difference and the effect the oils have had in a short amount of time. My house smells awesome, my babies are breathing and sleeping well! I’ll continue down this path.
Awesome, awesome stuff!
