Hello mommies! Some of your kids will be starting school in a few weeks and some of your kids are already in school. Hooray, the summer is over!! But look at how full that bus is. That means if two or three of the kids in the bus get sick, every single one will bring something home... yikes! And by something, I mean a cold/flu, virus, germs, etc. and share it with the other kids at home.
If you've never heard of Doterra essential oils, now is your chance to get up close and personal with what it is and how it will save you thousands of dollars. Doterra's essential oils are 100% certified therapeutic pure grade. What does that mean? It means it does a whole lot more for your child suffering with the flu than antibiotics can ever do. It penetrates the membrane of cells and zaps the virus gone within a day instead of "waiting it out" for a whole week or two.
They are SAFE! I use it in my home, on my dad, and on the kids(: Instead of running to the store to get something for pain relief, benadryl, etc. I simply reach for my oils box. I have put together a 'Back to School' Oils Kit for my kids and thought I'd do the same for your kids too since I'm aunty to the neighborhood(:
What's inside? Only the 7 oils your child needs to fight off stuff they catch at the playground. And for a limited time, you can get a kit for a great price!
Here's what's inside:
- 20 drops of each oil listed below
- An A-Z Guide
- Free 1oz Fractionated Coconut Oil
1. Lavender - It is the most versatile and popular oil. It is great for burns and takes aways pain and blistering fast! It works very well as a sleep aid and it has a very calming effect. It also works as a natural antihistamine and provides relief from insect bites and allergies. Rub on your feet each night for relaxation, or headache relief.
2. Lemon - Use a drop of lemon every day in your water to keep your body acid free (alkaline). Lemon helps clean your lymphatic system. It is excellent for sore throats-- just place a drop on your tongue or gargle with lemon water. You can also use it as a cleaning agent. Lemon oil will clean ninety-nine percent of bacteria.
3. Peppermint - It has been double-blind studied against Tylenol and was proven to be just as effective in treating headaches. Peppermint Oil has been reported as being one of the most promising treatments for I.B.S. It is fantastic for digestive issues and when inhaled it will stimulate the brain to increase alertness.
4. Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil)
- This is fantastic for acne since most acne medications are antibacterial creams, melaleuca is antibacterial. It is also great for most skin conditions: general rashes, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, and MRSA. You can rub it on your head to control dandruff and on your chest for coughs.
5. Oregano - It is your heaviest fighter oil with several studies proving its ability to kill MRSA (staph infection). It is one of the most important oils to use when fighting any infection. It is a very hot oil and must be diluted with any carrier oil (Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Almond Oil etc) to apply topically.
6. On Guard - This oil helps to strengthen your immune system. OnGuard has been scientifically proven to kill a viral infection within 48 hours. The US National Library of Medicine now shows that it is effective in suppressing the H1N1 virus. It has also been shown to kill 17 different strains of MRSA. This is great for disinfecting via a diffuser. Place 3 drops under your tongue daily, use 4 drops in a capsule with 4 drops of lemon oil, or rub on your feet every night for cold prevention.
7. Breathe - Use this oil from respiratory infections,coughs, or asthma symptoms. Rub it on your chest to help combat congestion. Rub on chest and under your nostrils to help with snoring. Unlike other Vapor Rubs, Breathe will actually assist your body in fighting off the infection.
8. DigestZen - this blend will work for any digestive disorder: Acid Reflux, heartburn, H.Pylori Bacteria, diarrhea, Constipation, IBS, etc. Seventy percent of your immune function is through your GI so if you have a compromised GI you have a compromised immune system. Using DigestZen will help strengthen immune system. Take 4 drops of Digestzen with 2 drops of peppermint internally in an empty capsule or simply rub it on your stomach.
Remedies
Coughs- I apply 3 drops of Breathe Oil, Rosemary, or Myrrh Oil to the chest and feet. I diffuse the room with Breathe Oil at night. The OnGuard Throat Drops are great to use during the day while at school or work.
* A diffuser is a like a humidifier, but made for essential oils. Essential oils can eat through the plastic of humidifiers. A diffuser will fill your home with a wonderful aroma of your choice while killing airborne pathogens. Your candle can't do that! :)
Runny Nose- I rub a small amount of Lavender Oil under each nostrils and also on the bottom of the feet. Lavender Oil is a natural antihistamine. If your child is old enough to swallow a capsule, give them 3 drops of Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint in a capsule daily.
Sore Throat- I drop 3 drops of Lemon Oil on the tongue and swish it around or place 2 drops of Lemon oil & 2 drops of Melaleuca Oil in a small amount of warm water and gargle it.
Fever- remember that fevers are the body's way of fighting off the cold/flu naturally. We tend to treat a fever as the enemy when it is actually a friend, unless it spikes too high. Peppermint Oil rubbed on the feet every two hours will naturally bring down a fever. I also rub it behind the neck. Use coconut oil on small children with sensitive skin.
Aches- When a family member complains of aches, I will do the spinal technique on them. Most bacteria and viruses tend to camp out in your spine, by doing this technique, you will be drawing attention to the problem and taking care of it. This is great to do with any illness and everybody loves a back rub!
- apply coconut oil down the spine
- follow with 4 drops of Oregano Oil
- add 4 drops of AromaTouch Oil
- end with 4 drops of Peppermint Oil
- hot compress with a rice or bean pad for 10 minutesStomach Issues- Digestzen Oil will be your best friend! Apply 2-3 drops on your abdomen or take 4 drops in an empty gel capsule 3 times daily.
Earaches- Rub 1-2 drops of Basil Oil, Lavender Oil, and Melaleuca Oil around the ear. Place drops on a cotton ball and place in ear. Never drop oils directly in the ear canal. All studies prove that antibiotics are not effective for most ear infections.
Sinus Infection- Take 4 drops of Oregano Oil, OnGuard Oil, & Lemon Oil in a capsule 3 times daily. Rub Breathe Oil over sinus area topically.(be careful not to get it too close to your eyes, it will burn)
The key to success is to start using essential oils as soon as you feel the first sign of a cold or flu coming on. My family and I use essential oils daily which has greatly reduced that amount of illness in our home. If my kids have friends that are sick, I have them drop the OnGuard Oil under their tongue as a preventative. It has worked wonderfully so far this year!
