Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Last year I developed a severe bronchial infection and cough, then a sinus infection on top of that. It took 3 'upgrades' of antibiotic and several weeks to knock down the infections, but I was left with a continual sinus drip and a chronic cough with heavy mucus.
I had been inhaling the Raven, and RC oil blends and the Breathe Again Roll-on for temporary relief, but house dust, changing sheets, outdoor air and all cleaning products and hair sprays sent me into gasping, coughing fits.
After being tested for asthma, given an Rx for an inhaler and Advair, which I didn't use, I decided to research the Young Living info I had been collecting for years as a distributor since 1992.
I came across notes from a Young Living seminar I had attended in 1996, which gave us a blend for COPD for inhaling.
In an empty glass bottle pour:
* 4 drops Thyme oil
* 4 drops Rosemary oil
* 3 drops Peppermint oil
* 3 drops Lemon oil
Inhale this deeply for 2-3 minutes, as needed. I mixed a big batch, using 40 drops Thyme and Rosemary, 30 each of Peppermint and Lemon in a clean empty Young Living bottle. I carry this with me at all times and also have it available at bedtime.
To use, pour one drop in palm and inhale, as often as needed. I also advise users to apply the oils undiluted on Reflexology points on the bottom of feet, corresponding to the lung and bronchial areas, best done at bedtime. Google reflexology for a chart.
It stops the tickle, the wheezing, and the sinus drip. My once chronic condition has disappeared, and using it as soon as symptoms appear nips the allergy reaction in the bud.
I now diffuse a few drops in the house before cleaning, and in my bedroom on bad air-quality and sheet changing days. Diffuse for 20 min only at a time, once or twice a day.
I receive feedback that some users have been able to get off their Advair and or Albuterol inhalers with continued oils use, and will likely reduce the frequency.
