If you want to read part one, click here. :) Another disclaimer...I am not an expert on anything, but a mom and helpmeet doing what she thinks is good for her family.
Little Man stayed home from school Friday. Good thing too, as he had a 100 degree temp by late afternoon. We applied essential oils (see part one) all day, he took two epsom salt baths and basically laid around all day long. He never needed anything for the temp, but did take two short naps.
Day Two Feeling better! Energy is back, no temp. Cough is setting in, lots of congestion. Time to add new oils to our regimen. Little Man has had success in the past with a mixture of Frankincense, Rosemary and Eucalyptus (equal parts mixed together) when he has a cough. Last year, he had a cough that would just not go away, and Hubby was ready to take him to Urgent Care for antibiotics. We used these oils for one or two nights, and it was gone. So, we rubbed this mixture on his feet, wrists and behind his ears throughout the day. We also rubbed it on his chest and then applied a warm washcloth one time. The On Gaurd oils were also used.
Day Three Much better! Cough sounds like a tickle, and isn't bad at all. Nose is VERY runny, but I'll take that over congestion. Gave him benedryl at night to dry it all up. He slept all night. We kept alternating the oils throughout the day.
Day Four Little Man is back at school. We rubbed the oils on his feet before he left, and we'll do it again when we get home. He will be at football practice this evening. Sweet victory appears to be ours. :)
Dear Lord, I thank You for these natural wonders. I pray for wisdom as we use them in our lives. Thank You for always watching over us. In Jesus name I pray--Amen
