Diaper Rash – We’ve been pretty lucky in the diaper rash area. J Baby has not had many bouts of diaper rash. However, several weeks ago she had a bad one. First her Momma wanted to try Destin….lots of tears and it seemed that it stung her. The next diaper change I decided to try Lavender and Roman Chamomile mixed with a bit of Fractionated Coconut Oil. When I applied it I got the sense from her reaction that it was soothing and felt good. The next diaper change I could see a significant improvement. I used the Lavender/Roman Chamomile one more time and the rash disappeared.

Sleep – A couple of drops of Lavender on her feet or her back helps her to settle down at night and gives her and her mommy a good night sleep.

Constipation/Diaherra – DigestZen mixed with a bit of Fractionated Coconut Oil (FCO) on the tummy or feet.

Breathe – Mixed with FCO and rubbed on her chest and back helped with congestion and cough. Also a cold never developed into anything worse.

We love having the oils handy and using 100% naturally pure choices. It is great to be empowered to take care of our own health and wellness.

Breathe – cupped and put a drop on nose and under nose (when chest congestion is the issue make sure to breathe deeply into your lungs)

Colds really suck, but I felt better getting through this last one with NO OTC drugs. Breathe helped clear my stuffiness without the typical medicine (foggy, disconnected) head feeling that I get from using OTC’s such as Sudafed.

The congestion never did settle in my chest and make me cough AND no one else in my home caught the cold! Win/Win!

Blend Ingredients

Eucalyptus radiata
Larurel leaf
Lemon
Melaleuca alternfolia
Peppermint
Ravensara

Common Uses

Asthma
Bronchitis
Congestion
Cold and flu
Cough
Respiratory stress

Application and Uses
 
Use at the onset of cold, flu, and congestion. Apply topically with thorough massage to the back, neck, shoulders, chest, and feet. Combine with hot compresses for best results. Use cup and inhale or diffuse when possible and carry a tissue cup on the go.

For young children or infants, use a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil, apply with massage to chest and back, and cover with clothing or socks after finishing.

This blend can be helpful in a bath using salts or a dispersing agent. During a steamy hot shower, plug the drain for a few minutes and use several drops with a wash cloth in the bath area.

Would you rather give your family safe, 100% pure CPTG* Essential Oils or over-the-counter drugs that you have no idea what all those ingredients are inside?

My family is having great success in using doTERRA Essential Oils instead of making a trip to the drug/grocery store for OTC drugs. And I feel safe using them for all the members of my family, even my grandbaby.

When nauseous put a drop in your hands and cup your hands to breath in the fragrance. It really helps!
