Oils Quickly Resolved My Fever & Cough

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.

Early in March 2020 I awoke one morning with a terribly sore throat. Being an alternative practitioner with a full array of Young Living oils in my office, I quickly set about to deal with the pain and dryness. To my morning tea I added a few drops of the Thieves oil blend as well as a good tablespoon of Manuka honey (the mug is big, about 16 oz.)

By mid-morning I was really feeling that wonky feeling as if the air was let out of my tires. I could tell this was more the beginning of something rather than just a single issue. So I ramped up my efforts and made up a blend of Oregano, Thieves, Rosemary and Lavender oils in a dropper bottle (which I find makes filling capsules easy) along with some Avocado oil as the carrier oil. I took one capsule, then drank a ton of water and then followed that with a good shot, about 2 oz., of Ninxgia Red juice with about another oz. of apple juice it it. My stomach had been queasy so I just kept drinking fluids, mostly tea with Manuka honey in it plus a few drops of Thieves oil.

By mid-afternoon I was having an increasingly rough cough and tightness in my chest. Having dealt with asthma since I was 12, I'm thankful that between the oils and energy work (mostly EFT) I'm fairly issue-free. But I always get new inhalers each year with my yearly exam, one steroidal and one rescue. I did have to use both inhalers for the next two days to their fullest dose. Normally I don't get a fever but the thermometer had continued to rise and at this point I was sporting a fever at 102. So I contacted my doctor and told her what was going on. She said to keep doing what I was doing (my doctors all know I'm an energy practitioner and that I use oils and they are very supportive).

Settling down into bed with the diffuser going - I asked if there was anything else my body needed for my immune system to do it's best job. Lemon oil. I was inundated with images of the bottle of Lemon oil and intuitively felt that my body needed support in "flushing out" and that the increased production Lemon would create would do the job. So I added Lemon to my dropper bottle, and began taking that incapsules (I took 4 total capsules each day with this blend). And I put Lemon, Lavender, Rosemary and Thieves into the diffuser.

It took two full days for my system to finally process what was going on and my fever to break. I spent most of that time in bed either sleeping, applying oils, taking oils, tapping (EFT) or meditating. For the following week I had a shallowness to my breathing so I kept up taking and inhaling the blends, while also making sure to keep the fluids coming. By the next weekend I was completely fine.

On the first day I was feeling fine my husband came down with the exact same issues. He does not have asthma, so I never gave him an inhaler - he doesn't have a prescription for one and I don't endorse sharing prescriptions. But otherwise I did the same for him as I did for me - except I started him right out on the Lemon oil. He also had a fever of 102. By the end of his second day his fever was nearly normal, his color had returned and he was very hungry. He also spent a week with a shallow breath but he had a light cough. A week later and he was fine as well.

Neither of us have any further issues and have been fine ever since. We love our oils!
