    Surprising Results with Essential Oils! Give it a Go!

    Hello all. I just wanted to give a quick update on how things have been going for my son (17 years old) since we started using the oils about a month ago. We diffuse either 'Breathe' (which is a proprietary blend of eucalyptus, melaluca, peppermint and a couple others) or 'On Guard' which is...

    Surprising Results with Essential Oils! Give it a Go!

    I just wanted to give a quick update re: the essential oils we've been using on my son for the past several days. He did try nebulizing eucalyptus, along with hyper-saline, but it was too harsh for him. Made him cough too hard. So - I've just been diffusing a melaluca/eucalyptus blend at...

    I wasn't aware of the classificaitons, either. I found a very helpful 'table' that laid it out in terms even I could understand :-) Here you go: http://respiratory-research.com/content/11/1/140/table/T1 Unfortunately, my son's mutations are class 1 and class 2. Sounds like we may be a ways...

    Surprising Results with Essential Oils! Give it a Go!

    Thanks, all of you who have posted, with your essential oil results. Have any of you heard of, or tried the brand 'do-TERRA'? I am ready to give this a whirl, for my kid - and was all set to try the do-TERRA. Maybe I'll do a bit of research on the YL brand first, though. Again - THANKS for...
