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 four children, three of them boys ages 8, 3 and 18 mo, whose immune systems are far inferior to that of their sister. A few weeks ago I was at the doctor's office with all three of them and they all had ear challenges. The doctor gave me conventional treatment alternatives for all of them but they are actually still in my purse.

When I got home, I pulled out my Melrose oil blend and Lavender oil and proceeded to rub a little of each, neat on the bone behind each of their ears to boost their immunity in the challenged location. I did this twice a day for two days, and then once a day here and there afterwards.

The one who had the hardest time getting rid of it was the baby, but thankfully he had his 18 month check-up. He still had fluid in one of his ears at the time, so the doctor suggested some antihistamine and decongestant, which I used in conjunction with the oils. I also added the Thieves oil into his immune boosting regimen as well and his ears are clearing up.

6.Associated topics: immune-system — "Anti-inflammatory, spasmolytic [muscle spasms], antimicrobial, antioxidant, carminative [flatulence] and immunomodulatory properties of caraway suggest that it might exert beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).... CHE and CEO [caraway essential oil] at all doses tested were effective in reducing colon tissue lesions and colitis indices and the efficacy was nearly the same when different doses of plant fractions were administered p.o. or i.p..... These data suggest that caraway fractions are both effective and possess anti-colitic activity irrespective of the dose and route of administration."Link
