[Everything doTERRA] Re: cant sleep

My son is epileptic. He is five and started having seizures a
year ago. We started using the oils because we were looking for a way
to help him. When first using the oils we would put frankincense and
balance along his spine and on the crown of his head (directly over
the part of his brain that is involved) every night. Shortly after
that we stared using On Guard because flu season was upon us. He
started having more seizures closer together and finally a cluster of
seizures. We ended up in the hospital, medicating to get that
stopped. After we got home, two days later, I put On Guard on him and
he seized about ten minutes later. I had looked up contraindications
for EOs and seizures before and had failed to come across Eucalyptus
and Rosemary, That time the first site I brought up had both of those
at the top of the list. I felt pretty certain I had been triggering
seizures by using On Guard on him.
I did get to speak with Dr. Hill about it. He gave the,
"DoTerra's oils are so pure they won't cause a problem like other
oils" answer (which I thoroughly believe). But again, this is where I
get to use my "mom sense" and decide what is best for my family. Dr.
Hill agreed that based on my observation it did sound like On Guard
was not a good choice for my son at that time. He recommended looking
into possible food allergies and candida. I also learned that I was
not using enough oil on him to be effective. We have since begun
using frankincense several times a day topically as well as under the
tongue and diffusing. Dr. Hill recommended using Frankincense,
Bergamot and Roman Chamomile as a relaxing blend. My boy's favorite is
Bergamot. He loves it! (Bergamot has similar properties withe the
other citrus oils, but it is calming as well as uplifting!) We are
applying anti-fungals to his feet. I can't wait until he will take a
capsule!
After the cluster of seizures I gave my neighbor my On Guard and
any other possibly contraindicated oils. At this point we have those
oils in our home. I have diffused them occasionally and use them on
other members of the family. But I wasn't comfortable with that until
several months after using a more intense oiling schedule with him.
I am grateful to know about the problems with these oils because
low quality versions are in a lot of commercially available products.
At this point we use strictly home made cleaning products and mostly
homemade personal products.
Anyway, to help my son calm down we love the bergamot. And if
you use the blend Dr. Hill recommended, so much the better! Also, I
do an ATT about once a week on him. I skip the On Guard and add
another oil I feel good about.
