[Everything doTERRA] Re: Steroid Medication for 2 yr old

I would suggest an 'oatmeal bath' first. Put regular (not instant)
oatmeal in a knee-hi pantyhose and tie it off. 'Drag' it back and
forth through her bath water - it will make the bath water milky
looking. Let her bath at least 20 minutes. I did this for both my
kids when they had chicken pox and it worked wonderful to keep the
itching down and we had no scarring. After her bath, I would apply
melaleuca & lavender with fco to the rash (I would do a ratio of
1:1:4). Both of these can be done as often as needed.

Hope this helps,
Rochelle
