Warts

So my 4 year old has had these warts all over! It's been horrible. They were all over his hands, fingers, feet, and several around his mouth. The doctor couldn't do much about them because of where they were so we have tried a few different oils on them. We found one that WORKED!! Lemon oil! I use lemon for many things so I didn't have much left. We only were able to use it twice a day for maybe a week. I ran out, ordered more but a few days noticed all his warts were yellow. I still have not made it to my friends house (where they were shipped to) to get them but I noticed yesterday that his warts are GONE! So basically we used the oil alone, did not cover them, for a week or less at least two times a day, more if I thought about it, and then just leaving them alone after that, they were gone a couple weeks later. Praise God! We have really been praying for his warts to go away because even at 4 years old, he is very self conscious about them and he gets very embarrassed if other kids point them out.

The works! Fever, goopy eyes and nose, cough, congestion...yuck!

My sweet little 15 month old baby girl, Charlee picked up some kind of infection from her cousin when we were staying with them last week. He went to the dr and was told he has an eye, sinus and ear infection. High fevers, goopy eyes and nose and has been on an antibiotic for a couple of weeks. Now it has turned into pneumonia and he is on another antibiotic. :( Charlee instantly picked up the goopy eyes and nose and high fever. Before taking her in to the dr, I am giving my essential oils a try. It's been several days and she is still sick but the goopiness is almost gone and her fevers are way down. I think the oils are helping tremendously! But we are not out of the water yet.

I buy all my essential oils from DoTerra.com. The ones I am using specifically for Charlee are: Oregano on the bottoms of her feet 2-3 times a day to fight infection, On Guard 2 times a day (ALWAYS when she is sleeping to prevent her from rubbing it in her eyes because it burns!) I apply On Guard around her eyes, nose and ears very careful not to get it IN any of those areas. I think this has helped so much in getting rid of the goopiness. I am using peppermint oil on her back and forehead for fevers and Breath (probably my FAVORITE and most used oil) on her chest for her cough and breathing. One day she was tugging at her ear so I put some oregano on a cotton ball and put it in her ear after falling asleep. I have no idea if she had an ear infection but she was not tugging on it the next day. I use the peppermint and breath as needed.

I'll keep you updated on how she is doing!

Well she seemed to get better but then the other day, she broke out in a high fever AGAIN! I started go get really worried so I took her to the dr. He told me good job on the oils because they seemed to get rid of the eye/nose infection :D But she came down with an ear infection now. I thought about trying to get rid of it with oregano/garlic cloves but I went with the antibiotic. Poor girl! I always get discouraged when we have to take a trip to the dr but I am very grateful to be living in a day when we can easily get the things we need.
