My ode to Breathe!
As I write this blog, I will admit, my oldest kid went to the doctor yesterday. I love my doTERRA oils but I use them in conjunction with today's Modern Western medicine. My philosophy is both can do great things!
What I have found is that I can usually get relief and healing just from the oils. I always go to them first. If I can't seem to kick whatever ails me, THEN we head to the doctor. After all, I am not a doctor. I did not spend years and years and thousands of dollars to get an education as a doctor. I did that to be a pilot.
But back to my ode to Breathe......
My oldest has been suffered with respiratory issues since 6 months of age. Ear infections, coughing, runny noses, you name it. The poor child has been on so many rounds of antibiotics, allergy medicine and other drugs. I know that cannot be great for her body, especially her liver. If too much Tylenol can kill you, think of all the other side effects or just watch a commercial. YIKES!
Breathe is a proprietary blend of CPTG oils - laurel leaf, peppermint, eucalyptus, melaleuca, lemon, and ravensara. They are potent.
We apply it to her chest and feet almost daily. Her breathing would improve for hours with just a few drops. The bonus, she loves the smell of Breathe. She will actually ask for her oils. In my book, that is a huge win!
I am also a huge user of Breathe! Being pregnant, I am probably overly cautious about taking most medicines. Call it paranoia but I will use a nasal wash and suffer a bit over taking loads of medications. I read the side effects and they scare me but I suffer from allergies. Living in south Georgia does not help my situation.
A few weeks ago, my head was just congested and I was miserable. I applied a couple drops on my chest and a couple drops in my hands. I rubbed my hands together and cupped around my nose and mouth. 5 deep breaths later and I felt open and relieved. My husband walked in on me and asked what the heck I was doing..."sniffing glue?!" was part of the phrase. Silly man, he does not suffer the sinus issues I do. But he saw the dramatic difference in me.
Now, some of you might read this and think, the cost is going to stop you from trying this. After all, you can go to a local drugstore and pick up Cold/Sinus medicine for about $10-20. I know a daily chewable allergy medicine for kids is about $22 for 25 pills at my local pharmacy. It is more for the adult version.
A bottle of Breathe, which you can use on anyone in your family, comes in a 15mL bottle...about 250 drops for 11 cents (retail)/ 8 cents (wholesale) per drop. You could care for your whole family for under $30 for an entire bottle.
Add in the benefit that the shelf life of the oils is 7 to 10 years as opposed to most over the counter medicine that is about a year. What becomes cheaper?
There are no side effects of the oils either. So although they are potent, they are extremely safe.
If Breathe can kick my cough without OTC meds, you better believe this girl is going the natural way with my doTERRA oils.
