Flu care/ ear infection

The flu visited our family this week.

Everyone 5 yrs old and up in our family has been swallowing capsules with oils in them.  We put on guard, oregano and frankincense in capsules (the kids have little tiny capsules that hold just 3 drops) and take them 2 x a day or more. We will be on this for 10 days.  We are totally kicking the flu out of our house!  So far no one who has taken the oils in capsules has gotten really sick.  Mostly we just felt a little nauseous and weak, but that was it!  Yesterday, I started to feel it coming on. My joints were achy, and I was exhausted. I took an extra capsule and took a nap. I woke up just fine.  Same thing happened to Autumn today. Caeli (3 yrs old) and Sariah (1 year old), who cant take capsules, both threw up several times. For them the best we can do is put the oils on their stomach and feet. After taking our anti-viral oils for 10 days we will follow up with 5 days of pro-biotics. 

Then, last night, we dealt with our first ear infection since starting doTERRA.  Lincoln woke up at 3 am screaming that his ear hurt. We put melaleuca and basil on a cotton ball and taped it to the opening of his ear.  We also put the same oils in front and behind his ear and added Frankincense and diluted helichrysum.  We had him put a heat pack over that.  Within an hour, he said his ear no longer hurt at all, he has been fine all day! 

What a huge blessing it is to be in control of our families health!
