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.


My son was very small when he contracted RSV and had to spend sometime in the hospital. Ever since then, he has had issues with asthma. He has been known to have attacks that last several minutes at one time. We have seen asthma and breathing specialists. His worst seasons for attacks seem to be at the end of spring-early summer, and end of fall-early winter. He used to use a rescue inhaler all the time.

Since we made the decision to use Young Living Essential Oils, we decided to get him off of all the scrips and asthma medications. Here is what worked for us.

For an attack:
Use Breathe-Again roll-on under the nose and along the sides of the nose along the bone. Dorado Azul IF Breathe-Again did not work.

Daily oils:
Apply Thieves on his feet and especially his big toe--daily (before he leaves the house to go to school)
1 to 2 oz NingXia Red juice daily
Mightyzymes daily

For coughing due to asthma:
RC on his chest.

For use as a rescue inhaler:
An empty bottle of RC--he takes the lid off and cups his hands around the bottle and breathes in.

The first year we went through the fall and winter using Young Living oils, he did not have any attacks that caused him to miss school or visit the emergency room at the hospital.

Thank you to Young Living for natural solutions for my family.
