Discover the transformative power of essential oils as we delve into effective strategies for nurturing your children's well-being. Don’t forget that with all the essential oils, you must mix in Fractionated Coconut Oil so that the skin can absorb the essential oil. You use only a few drops of the essential oil otherwise it can be irritating to the skin. Here are my top 4 essential oils in the medicine cabinet:

1-Oregano Oil: Defending Little Lungs and Beating Coughs:

 Oregano is a powerful remedy for bacterial or fungal signs, particularly persistent wet coughs or lung-related issues such as bronchitis. Mix a few drops of oregano with Fractionated Coconut Oil and gently massage the feet, chest, and back of the child every few hours for improved respiratory health.

2-Peppermint Oil: Cool Fever, Soothe Senses: Peppermint is an excellent essential oil for fever management. After a bath or as needed, apply a mixture of peppermint oil and Fractionated Coconut Oil to the bottoms of the feet, chest, and back of the neck to provide a cooling sensation. Ensure it does not come in contact with the eyes, and encourage the child not to touch the application areas. Re-apply every 3-4 hours for maximum effect.

3-Lavender Oil: Healing Burns, Soothing Souls: Lavender is known for its burn-healing properties, lavender essential oil, when combined with Fractionated Coconut Oil, offers relief and protection from burns. Apply the mixture to the affected skin, providing a pleasant aroma while helping to alleviate burning pain and prevent infections.

4-Eucalyptus Oil: Breathe Freely, Banish Congestion: Eucalyptus is Ideal for addressing congestion in the lungs, chest, and nose during flu or cold episodes. Eucalyptus essential oil, when mixed with Fractionated Coconut Oil, helps clear nasal passages and improves breathing. Apply to the chest, back, and feet to experience the benefits of its airway-opening properties.

Bonus Tip

Crystalized Menthol:

For enhanced relief from congestion and blocked noses, consider using crystalized menthol. Place a few crystals in a slow burner and use a tea light to slowly release soothing menthol fumes, which help clear nasal passages. This method can be particularly beneficial during nighttime sleep. Remember to use 6-hour tea candles for overnight use.

Now that you're equipped with knowledge on essential oils and their applications, you can effectively incorporate them into your family's health routine. Oregano, peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus essential oils are must-haves for your medicine cabinet, offering natural remedies for various ailments. Embrace the power of these essential oils to promote your children's well-being, especially during the winter flu season and persistent congestion.
