We are big time into Essential oils now. I’ve been slowly
moving away from OTC medications to more natural alternatives. It’s been about
2 years since I made the shift but only about 4 months ago I diligently started
using them, completely replacing some of my trusted OTC medications. One such homeopathic
medication I relied on was Camilia (for colds). Our relationship with Camilia
cold drops recently ended as it doesn’t seem to provide the same level of
comfort as it once did. I suppose this happens when the body gets used to
certain medication.
I extensively diffuse/ topically use the oils now. We
treat/comfort a variety of boo boo’s with essential oils. Let’s talk the most
common issue, Cold/ cough and flu like symptoms. Megha is getting better as her
immune system is slowly improving (as she is getting older) but Tanush still suffers
from frequent colds.
My favourite oils to turn to for topical application for colds/coughs
are Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Sage, Lemon and Tea Tree. I take 2 tbsp of coconut
oil or Zarbees chest rub and add 2 drops of each oils that I just mentioned. I
also tend to add lavender as it tends to have soothing effect. It takes about
20 mins for Tanush and Megha to go from fussy, grumpy, congested selves to
cheery, relaxed, healthier selves. I just rub the oils (diluted with coconut
oil or zarbees chest rub) on chest, feet, back (around the spine area).
I also diffuse the same oils.
Every night without fail, I also diffuse Lavender in both the diffuser's in their respective rooms.
