Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
This story takes place before I started using essential oils. I am very skeptical about network marketing companies and did not want to feel obligated to use them just because my family was selling them. Little did I know....
My 7-year-old daughter was not feeling well one day. Madison is not one who likes to be cooped up in the house. Unfortunately, since she was running a fever of 101.9 degrees, I told her that she was not allowed to play outside and that she needed to rest.
Of course I did not have any Children's Tylenol on hand, which used to be my go-to for all things fever related for my young ones. I was contemplating going to the store when my sister-in-law texted me asking how my day was. So I told her about Madison's fever.
My sister-in-law reminded me of the bottle of Peppermint essential oil that she had given me, and I told her that I still had it. She suggested that I use 2 drops diluted with a couple drops of olive oil and then rub it up and down my daughter's spine.
I actually rolled my eyes while reading my sister-in-law's text message. Yet I figured that I should at least give it a shot since I was not going to be able to run to the store right away anyway.
Not even 15 minutes after I applied the Peppermint essential oil as she suggested, Madison's fever came down to 99.8 degrees. It never went back up either. So I can now say that I am a believer.
This was my first experience with essential oils, and I am thankful that these products are from a company that produces therapeutic-grade oils. The purity behind the Peppermint oil made me feel secure to try it. No more Tylenol for these kiddos!

In vivo analysis and histological assay showed that the two essential oils displayed significant dose-dependent edema [swelling] inhibition effect over time. They displayed strong analgesic [pain-relieving] and antipyretic [fever-reducing] properties similar to that induced by 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylate of lysine.... This work demonstrates the anti-inflammatory property of Cymbopogon citratus [Lemongrass] and Eucalyptus citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus], suggesting their potential role as adjuvant therapeutic alternatives in dealing with inflammatory-related diseases." | Link |

(Black cumin) has shown a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects like antipyretic [fever reducing], analgesic [pain reducing], anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.... The present study suggests the burn wound healing action of seeds may be due to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of major compounds in the oil." | Link |
