Re: [Everything doTERRA] Throat

Bribe him to gargle it for as long as possible, then spit or swallow.  Have him set a goal like 15 seconds.  Follow up with some juice or milk and a cracker with peanut butter.  The Oregano will not be too bad to swallow, but if even a micro drop gets on his lips, it is very hot... and water will not help.  That's why swallowing is sometimes better, when you spit - it has a good chance of getting on the lips.   It doesn't taste great, but doesn't last long.

We have our kids use a shot glass with the drops in a couple tblspns of water.

4-5 drops of On guard is next best or 2 drops Oregano, 3 Lemon.  The clove suggestion is good too.  Clove will help the pain a lot. The lemon with oregano takes away some of the caustic edge to  Oregano.

Frequency is the key.  IF he will do this every 1/2 hour or hour 6 -8 times... There is a fair chance it will be gone. (in my experience.)

Does anyone have any ideas for Throat Abscess for a 9 year old?
Apparently, it is a localized accumulation of pus that may occur
around the tonsils or in the back of the pharynx.  It's basically an
acute form of tonsillitis.  I am thinking Oregano and Lemon - after
the first swallow, I don't think he'll do it because of Oregano's
caustic taste.  Has anyone had success in this with kids??  I would
love ALL comments!

Thank you!
