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.
I have two daughters who are 6 and 7 years old. In the last two years since I have learned about essential oils, my daughters have on several occasions gotten very bad abdominal pains, sometimes to the point of rolling around on the ground and throwing up.
The first time my younger daughter had abdominal pain, I had just learned about essential oils. So I asked my sister what to do. She suggested putting Peppermint essential oil in epsom salts before putting it into the bathtub.
So I tried this, and at first my daughter did not like it... until she noticed that her pain was going away. Then within 15 minutes she was pain free.
This incident happened when it was late at night, and it would have taken 30 minutes to take her to the hospital. I did not know how long it would have taken to get care once we got there or how long it would have taken them to actually get her pain free. Regardless, if the bath had not worked, I would have taken her to the hospital.
Last year my oldest daughter had such severe abdominal pain that she threw up. The school called me to pick her up. Before we left the school, I put Peppermint essential oil on her abdomen and back. It was a 5-minute drive home, and the whole way she was groaning in pain and crying.
After we arrived home, I asked her if she wanted a Peppermint bath, but she said no. So I just put more on her back and abdominal area. Then she went to sleep.
After 15 minutes or so, she woke up throwing up and wanting a Peppermint bath after all. So I got the bath ready with one handful of epsom salts and 10 drops of Peppermint essential oil.
Once she was in the tub, I cleaned up the mess she made from puking. When I was done, I checked on her again. She was looking much better, and as I watched her, I could see the pain just evaporating from her face.
After 15 minutes she wanted out of the bathtub, saying that the pain was gone. She went to sleep for a few hours, and when she woke up she started playing with her sister, acting as if nothing had happened that morning.
Epsom salts draws toxins out of the body. One of my massage teachers said that she would give her clients a handful of epsom salts after massaging them to help them get rid of the toxins that the massage would loosen up.
Peppermint is known for driving other essential oils in deeper, so that is why Peppermint oil should be the last oil applied when oils are layered. Water also drives them in deeper.
That is why I do not use water to remove "hot" oils. This also explains why I have found that giving my daughters a Peppermint bath is faster at getting rid of their pain than just applying the oils topically.
The abdominal pain episodes have happened 8 to 10 times in the last two years -- at least three times per girl or more -- each time with the same results. The pain is gone within 15 minutes. Fortunately, the rest of the occurrences have not been as bad as the incident that I mentioned above.

| 1. | Associated topics: flu-(Influenza) — "Taken together, we found an essential oil blend [Orange, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary] notably attenuates influenza virus PR8 infection in vitro via inhibition of viral protein synthesis at the post-transcription level. The lack of toxicity and potent specific inhibition ability make the essential oil a possible antiviral drug for influenza virus proliferation control and treatment." | Link |

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 |
