[Everything doTERRA] Re: Cough That Won't Go Away

When my son had a cough that would turn into a coughing fit, I tried
several oils for cough. It wasn't until someone told me to use 2
drops sandalwood, 2 drops myrrh, 2 drops cypress, and 2 drops on guard
in a capsule. I gave him one that night before bed, no cough that
night. The cough did not return the next day. I did give him that
capsule three times the next day and a couple the next just to be
sure.
