[Everything doTERRA] Lung Transplant

I'm a new oils user and I'm thinking this can help my mom but I know
I'll have to do the research and get the products so I'm wondering
what you think of this situation:

My mom has been a double lung transplant survivor (received both lungs
at the time of transplant) for 11 years this summer. She has Alpha 1
Antitrypsin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_1-antitrypsin which is
a protein deficiency that affects your lungs and liver and can cause
emphysema, etc which resulted in the need for a transplant. She is
doing great but had a few minor complications recently and the doctor
said worst case scenario emphysema could be developing again in her
new lungs do to the Alpha 1. The reason that this can happen is
because the Alpha 1 is still in her system causing the protein
deficiency in her liver as she didn't receive a liver transplant (she
didn't need one). For some reason it just attacks her lungs.

I know this is a lot of information but I wanted to give you a
background before I asked for your recommendation. I wasn't sure if
there were oils for the liver and the lungs that you would recommend
or if the best way for her to use the oils would be topically,
internally, or aromatically. Also she is on several medications along
with anti-rejection drugs so I didn't know if oils can have adverse
effects if combined with medications. I'm assuming not since there
are all kinds of conditions that you can use them for which also
require medications. Currently she has an inflamation in her lungs
and sounds like she is wheezing at night (I shared a room with her
recently and couldn't believe how bad she sounded).

Please let me know what you think, anything helps!
