Baby has a cold, keep calm and oil up!

I have been very fortunate to have a healthy baby that has never even had a fever and really hasn't had any cold symptoms last more than a day or two until recently.  Last week we started to come down with the snuffles and dripples and that quickly escalated into a congested cough.  I started to notice that the cough was worse over night and I decided on an essential oils protocol right away, as I try to avoid OTC medications when I can.  My preference is to choose to treat anything I can the natural way, if possible.

 I personally use Young Living essential oils due to their seed to seal process, which no other oil company has.  I know that with Young Living oils I can rest assured knowing that my baby is not receiving oils from a company that simply rebottles product, uses any kinds of synthetics, or uses anything other than the highest quality of sources for ingredients. In other words, most oils out there are kind of like "designer imposter fragrances" or cheap knock-offs.

Here is one protocol that has helped my baby breathe better while fighting off this terrible cold! I have also been using Thieves oil, but not nearly enough.  Thieves should be applied daily to help build our immunity and defense against all those bugs circulating.

Another blend I like to use to battle severe respiratory illness is Eucalyptus, Hyssop, and Thyme in a diffuser.
