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.
My oldest son, who is 6 years old, gets croup 1-2 times a year. When he gets it, is extremely scary; he experiences stridor and has a very difficult time breathing.
The last 2 times he has gotten croup, I have used Peppermint in a diffuser and a few drops of the Thieves oil blend on his spine, chest and feet AFTER he was already suffering. But this time I was ready to battle it before it became full blown.
Yesterday morning, my son woke up around 7 am and came into my room with a slight barking/croup cough. He started crying and said he was scared to get croup again because he didn't want to die (poor sweet boy).
Right away, I applied the Breathe Again blend on his chest and spine. I also gave him a capsule with a few drops of Thieves to take internally. Throughout the day I applied Breathe Again and Thieves.
Last night before going to bed, we prayed together and I applied these oils on his neck and chest: Thyme, Marjoram, and the Peace & Calming oil blend. Then I had him take another capsule of Thieves. I had the diffuser going all night by his bedside as well.
This morning, he came out with the biggest smile on his face! He slept soundly all night and never coughed- NOT ONCE! The National Library of Medicine states that symptoms usually last 5-6 nights. But NOT when using Young Living Essential Oils!
Gosh I love these oils! But more importantly, I love our Lord who has provided us with such powerful, non-toxic medicine.
The frequency of oils is increased with prayer. I am thankful!
