Last night I was a happy Mom - my son was sleeping without any problems. And this morning I got a call from my husband, congratulating both my son and I with getting well.
After having anxiety about midterms, fueled by my husband's decision to take away the X Box in case of a bad math score, my son got a sore throat. He was recuperating quickly, when we had an unfortunate circumstance to run into our neighbor, who made a huge mistake of reminding my son about the consequences of having asthma after a cold.
My son's sore throat by then was gone and he was almost well. However, my well-meaning neighbor brought back old memories and fears, and low and behold, my son got really sick and used the inhaler that night twice! It probably did not help either, that he played basketball that night and used his inhaler twice there. I was not happy to say the least; however, we had to deal with it.
He was so sick, just like the old times, and that's after he was doing so well for such a long time. On Monday night he used his inhaler once to go to sleep. And that was it. Today, Thursday, he went to school, feeling well and sleeping like a baby through the night!
What did my son and I do to get well? I did Vita Flex on his feet a few times a day, diffused the RC, Raven blends and Thyme. I vita flexed individual oils on his on lung areas on the feet. I applied RC on his throat, did Raindrop therapy, he took ImmuPower, Copaiba (2 drops in a capsule) and topically Frankincense mixed with RC on the throat and chest areas.
I used the blend Breath Again between his ribs, he drank water infused with Lemon essential oil (2-3 drops in a glass of water also with freshly squeezed Lemon. He had hot water with salt in the morning, the JuvaFlex oil blend on his liver (front and back), baths with sea salt and the Thieves oil blend, essential oils retention enemas (once with RC and Frankincense and once with Copaiba - 2 tablespoons of V-6 mixed with 14 drops).
My son stayed away from the computer and X Box most of the time and even did a few exercises for his lungs! When he felt cold and too congested, I put Cinnamon or Wintergreen on his chest, back and feet. I used Basil and Marjoram, as well as the Peace & Calming oil blend, followed by Peppermint which was used a few times as well.
A lot of work in a short time - and it paid off! If you like any clarification, please use the Contact menu above to send me an email.

| 1. | Associated topics: breathing-/-inhale,respiratory-system,lungs-/-pulmonary,colds — "In confirming the presence of peripheral airways dysfunction in nonsmokers with uncomplicated common colds, our data imply that the changes can be modified favorably by short-term aromatics inhalation." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: breathing-/-inhale,respiratory-system,lungs-/-pulmonary,colds,bronchitis — "Cineole has mucolytic, bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the exacerbation rate in patients suffering from COPD, as well as ameliorates symptoms in patients suffering from asthma and rhinosinusitis.... The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: colds — "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 |
| 4. | Associated topics: respiratory-system — "Foeniculum vulgare Mill, commonly called fennel, has been used in traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments related to digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and respiratory systems. Additionally, it is also used as a galactagogue agent for lactating mothers.... Foeniculum vulgare has emerged as a good source of traditional medicine and it provides a noteworthy basis in pharmaceutical biology for the development/formulation of new drugs and future clinical uses." | Link |
| 5. | Associated topics: respiratory-system,sore-/-scratchy-throat,bronchitis — "The antibacterial activity of 14 essential oils and their major constituents in the gaseous state was evaluated against [respiratory tract pathogens] Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. [The] oils [with cinnamon bark, lemongrass, and thyme being most potent] and their major constituents were shown to be effective against various bacteria tested.... These results indicate that the antibacterial action of essential oils was most effective when at high vapor concentration for a short time." | Link |
| 6. | Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout,anxiety-/-worry — "After inhalation of clary sage oil, cortisol levels were significantly decreased.... Thyroid stimulating hormone was also reduced.... Clary sage oil has antidepressant-like effect...." | Link |
| 7. | Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout,anxiety-/-worry — "Lavender, mint [peppermint], orange, rose, chamomile, rosemary, and sage were used.... Depression levels in the touch-music-aroma therapy group... showed a larger decrease than in the... control groups [that did not include aromatherapy].... [FMS] symptoms such as restless sleep, headache, morning fatigue, exhaustion, feeling like crying, and bowel complaints were also significantly reduced." | Link |
| 8. | Associated topics: sore-/-scratchy-throat — "Streptococcus pyogenes [strep] plays an important role in the pathogenesis of tonsillitis.... [T]hyme, cinnamon, lemongrass, tea tree, lavender, oregano, clove, palmarosa, or cajeput [melaleuca] EOs [essential oils] are known to be active against Streptococcus pyogenes, while oregano, basil, mint [peppermint], rosemary, and lavender EOs are known to inhibit another Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus [staph].... We showed that cinnamon presented the higher activity against S. pyogenes compared to the other EOs tested.... 14 [essential oils] showed antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes.... Among them Cinnamomum verum [cinnamon bark], Cymbopogon citratus [Xiang Mao], Thymus vulgaris CT thymol [thyme], Origanum compactum [oregano], and Satureja montana [Mountain Savory] essential oils exhibited significant antibacterial activity. The in vitro results reported here suggest that, for patients suffering from bacterial throat infections, if aromatherapy is used, these essential oils, considered as potential antimicrobial agents, should be preferred." | Link |
