going off dairy and starting green smoothies. According to
conventional allergy testing he has no allergies, however he coughs
when he is on dairy and does not cough when he is off it. When we
first took him off dairy the coughing decreased but didn't stop. After
starting a green smoothie a day he was cough free in about a week. If
you are unfamiliar with green smoothies just google the term. I had to
put them in colored cups and use straws when we first started. Some
kids are put off by the green and some are not. Mine are fine as long
as they taste good. If I had been using oils at that time I would have
used the allergy blend.
After dealing with this with my son, and going dairy-free and
drinking green smoothies, I had a baby girl who tends to have
bronchial issues every winter. The first two winters of her life I
used breathe and on guard with minimal success. They helped ease the
breathing, but didn't really handle the issue. Then somebody on this
site mentioned using orange oil. About the same time another person
brought up rosemary. My daughter responds instantly to alternating
orange and rosemary, applying one oil every 5-15 minutes if the
situation is acute. Frequently throughout the day if there is any
coughing or difficulty breathing. This is her fourth winter and this
year she started respiratory stuff right on cue. This year it lasted
about 12 hours.
We also diffuse on guard, frankincense, lemon, lime, whatever
sounds good, regularly. And I use balance and frankincense on their
feet regularly. Also, I do epsom salt-lavender baths as soon as I see
any sign of illness. Seems like a lot of oil, but we deal with
sickness so much less frequently than we used to. Seems like when we
first started using oils we were always dealing with something. Now we
get to focus on staying well.
You might consider the Gx Assist for her. I squeeze the oils
into a few tablespoons of applesauce and add a little extra cinnamon
and coconut oil (to cut the heat). I give one third of the applesauce
three times a day (so they are getting one capsule a day, but it's
split up into three doses. It doesn't taste good, but my kids will do
it.
Probably stuff you have already heard. I hope you find something
that works for you.
