[Everything doTERRA] Re: Dehydration--home made 'Pedialyte'

Carly that can be scary stuff, one time it took over 30 min to get an IV started on my son when he was dehydrated! Somehow I found the link to a great homemade "Pedialyte," on the site she explains why each ingredient is used. It's not oils but could work.  You might give your friend this to try with her son, if/when it continues to happen.  The original Pedialyte was so nasty my son refused to drink it! ;-)

• 1 quart of water
• juice of 2-3 lemons (fresh is preferable, but I've also used 1/3 c. lemon juice concentrate in a pinch)
• 1/3 c. raw honey (do not give raw honey to children under the age of 1) (see my note at the bottom for an alternative for little ones)
• 1/4-1/2 tsp. sea salt (not table salt – but unrefined sea salt)

I typically warm about 1/2 c. of the water and place it in the bottom of a quart-sized Mason jar.  Make sure it's not hot water, but warm enough to help the honey and sea salt dissolve.  Mix the warm water with the honey and sea salt and until mostly disolved, and then add the lemon juice and remaining water to fill the top of the jar.  Mix thoroughly and there you go!

My friend's son has a problem with dehydration.  Even when he drinks water, he gets overheated and then sick. 

Is there an oil that will help with this?  He's 10 or 11.

Thank you!

Carly
