A home remedy
Guys! I have not had a lot of experience with essential oils, but yesterday got to watch how amazing they work, and had to share. So a little backstory first.
My son has always suffered from ear infections. Through the years he has taken a crazy amount of antibiotics, something that this year when he had to take them, it just made me eerily uncomfortable! There had to be something else to help him. So I reached out to my sister, who sells and uses young living essential oils in her every day life. She sent me a few articles, and thought to myself, next time he gets one I'm totally trying this out. I got the lavender from her and set it back for when the next one would come. So, fast forward a couple months later.
My daughter had been fighting the flu for about a week. Yesterday she finally starts to feel 100%. It was also the first warm day we had in awhile so we decide to make a run to town. We got supplies to make slime, both kids so excited! We get home, gather all the supplies, and as soon as we were ready to get started I hear, "Mommy, my ear hurts so bad", followed by intense screaming.
Because we're all too familiar with the symptoms, I knew an ear infection was coming on. I thought back to my sister and I's conversation and pulled the article up (source at the bottom), got the lavender oil,
along with a washcloth, and got to work. Honestly at this point I wasn't thinking of any pictures, so I'll give you the gist.
Wet washcloth in hot water wring it out so it's not dripping
Let it set a couple of seconds I'm sure your kiddo will appreciate it not burning :P
Drop ten drops lavender in a small circle on the cloth
Hold to child's ear in the article it says 3-5 minutes, the longer you can hold, the better
Repeat two-three times
She also recommended putting two drops on your finger and massaging it directly on the earlobe
Now, I have to say, at first I couldn't see a difference. But within the hour her screaming was gone. No pain complaints. Her ear wasn't beat red. This morning when she woke? Her normal, silly self.
I have never seen anything work so fast. And in this house the kids get them often. I'm sold, guys!! I hope it's helpful to you as well 💜💜
