Topical application of Basil and Melaleuca (I prefer Arborvitae) in front and around the back of the ear then down jaw line 2-3 times a day (or as often as needed) is a good protocol for earache and ear infections. I know it works very fast for me.

Here are the Earache/Ear Infection protocols I've collected: 

EAR ACHE

·         [www.greenlivingladies.com] Blend 2 drops each of Lavender, Frankincense, Basil and Melaleuca. Place cotton ball in ear (tape lightly if needed) to prevent oils from getting into the ear canal. Rub the blended oils round the ear and down the neck.

·         [dōTERRA  FB, Julie Wilson] Rub 1 drop of Grapefruit in front of ear and onto cheek

·         www.familyhealthnaturally.com

 

Apply 1 drop each of Lavender and Melaleuca at any [or all] of the three points – behind, on and/or in front of ear.  Rub it in. One time should be enough but if not, do it every 3-4 hours and it should be cleared up within a day.

 

EAR, FLUID

·         [dōTERRA  FB, Carol Wall] Apply Lemongrass (dilute equal parts Lemongrass and FCO) in front of ear

 

EAR INFECTION

·         Blend 2 drops each of Lavender, Frankincense and Basil. Place cotton ball in ear (tape lightly if needed) to prevent oils from getting into the ear canal. Rub the blended oils round the ear and down the neck.

·         Combine with carrier oil 2 drops of Basil OR Melaleuca. Rub around the rim of the ear, behind ear and just inside (not ear canal!).  Apply several times a day.

·         Layer a drop of Arborvitae and a drop of Basil, applying around the rim of the ear, behind the ear and just inside the ear flap – NOT IN THE EAR CANAL – repeat as needed.


The fever isn't always a bad thing - it's the body responding to the "invaders" but if it gets too high then one of these protocols may be what you're looking for:

FEVER – Remember that fever has a purpose so if it's not too high let it do its job.

·         [http://www.pinterest.com/pin/462393086716080409/] Peppermint pulls out the heat

·         Rub 1 drop of Peppermint on the bottom of the feet every 30 minutes until fever breaks

·         Massage Peppermint under the arms, back of the neck and down the spine

·         [http://healthyjasmine.com/family-health/how-to-naturally-reduce-a-fever-using-essential-oils/] Layer 1 drop of Lime and 1 drop of Frankincense on the bottom of each foot. Dilute the Lime for a child.

·         http://frugallysustainable.com/2011/12/building-your-medicine-chest-natural/] Blend in a glass jar, mark "EXTERNAL USE ONLY" and store in the fridge to keep cool. Fill 4oz spray bottle with solution and spray on pulse points (wrists, sides of neck, behind the knees, ankles] up to every 30 minutes, avoiding the eyes and mouth.

The bloody nose could be from very dry air so I'd recommend a cool-mist humidifier and diffusing essential oils. Purify is good for eliminating air-borne germs but I personally don't like the smell. So my go-to essential oil is On Guard of course. :o) Diffusing On Guard is also beneficial in fighting a cough (which could also be exacerbated by too-dry air).

CoughDon't forget that doTERRA is now offering the Breathe Stick! I think this is going to be wonderful - it can be applied on the chest, feet, bridge of the nose, wherever you're comfortable administering. [Think Vicks Vapo-Rub.]  I've collected several "cough" protocols but too many to list here.

Hope this info is helpful.

I have a client who has twins.  A boy and girl age 4.  The boy consistently gets ear infections every winter - like 10 per year and has since he was a baby.  Each time the doctor puts him on antibiotics - a different one each time.  The mom wants to look into putting tubes into his ears but the doctor wants her to wait through this one season.  Her feeling is that the antibiotics aren't working/helping.  She is looking for another path. 
 
Would she follow the protocol for earache for him?  Basil, grapefruit, lavender? 
 
The daughter has croup, runs a fever, and gets bloody noses.  Essentials of the Earth suggests Frank, Peppermint, Respiratory Blend. 2 drops Respiratory Blend, Frank, and Peppermint to the chest with 6-12 drops FCO.  Since these children are 4, would she add more FCO and if so, how much?  Should she also rub this on the bottoms of the feet and would she do these every 3 hrs or so?

Any other suggestions?  The mom does not currently use EOs.  I want to give her good, realistic information.  How long should she start seeing an improvement if she uses EOs?
 
Thank you very much for your insight!
