I can tell you that my life changed forever when I discovered the power of essential oils. When I became a mother seven years ago, I started a shift into a more natural way of living, but I only learned about essential oils when my daughter was born.
Imagine this. A mother of a 2-year-old who had just started preschool. Lots of germ and immunity building, right? Add to that a newborn baby. Nothing out of the ordinary until the 2-year-old began getting sick every other week, and of course, passed it all to the new baby. Yes, this was my life almost five years ago. I was dealing with colds, ear infections, stomach viruses, and all the yucky things in the middle. I think I spent more time at the pediatrician than at the park playing with the kids, and just to hear her telling me that it was probably going to get worse before getting any better, what? Yes, I clearly remember the day she said to me that on average, it takes a kid 6 to 12 months after starting school to strengthen their immune system—a FULL YEAR. I recalled my heart sinking and thinking about how I'm going to survive.
When my baby was around four months old, my older son got RSV, which is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections, and immediately my daughter caught it too. It is a common virus, but in young children, it can have complications. They were both prescribed antibiotics and fever reduction medication, and we also had to use a nebulizer with albuterol twice a day. I still remember my sweet little girl with a mask on that was bigger than her face. At that moment, I was desperate and willing to try anything. Somebody suggested essential oils, and refer me to a person close to my house that was teaching a class. I went to see her and can tell you that I never got back. She was the angel I was praying for and helped me start this journey that it has turned into a natural and holistic way of living.
