Essential Oils, Part Three

Since learning about natural ways to deal with illness, we have tried to cut back on our use of over-the-counter fever reducers and pain relievers. It seems that when we don't medicate a fever, the sickness runs its course more quickly. One of our children, though, tends to have febrile seizures as her temperature fluctuates. Febrile seizures aren't dangerous, of course, but they are still scary and uncomfortable, so we have continued to medicate her for fever, even though we think we may be prolonging the illness by doing so. I had read about reducing fever with essential oils and was eager to try it for this particular child.

When she began running fever, I mixed 3 drops of lemongrass oil in 1 tsp. of almond oil. I applied the oil to her temples, her wrists and the bottoms of her feet. Within 15 minutes, her fever was down and she was resting comfortably. I reapplied the oil several times over the 2 days that she was sick, and I am happy to report that she had no febrile seizures!!

Essential Oils, Part Two

My first experiment with essential oils was to mix some oils for my husband's achy back. I had recently purchased The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood from Beeyoutiful. I wanted to put what I was reading to practical use, but I still felt a little overwhelmed by all the information. I read about several formulas for alleviating back pain and then decided to try my own concoction, using the oils I had on hand. I mixed 5 drops of eucalyptus oil and 5 drops of peppermint oil, diluted in 1 Tbsp. of almond oil. The good news is that my husband, who is not fond of strong smells, didn't mind the aroma at all and actually found the massage to be soothing!

That first successful application of oils was encouraging! A few weeks later, when the children came down with a flu-like virus, I was ready to use our essential oils to help relieve their symptoms.
