[Everything doTERRA] Re: 4 year old with asthma, eczema and severe allergies

Hi Stacey,

Minus the pneumonia, we've had a similar "ride" with our son.  The oils are amazing and have been the tipping point for us.  I would encourage you to look at his diet.  We found major relief when we removed commercially processed snacks, food coloring, and preservatives from our son's diet.  Anything with TBHQ, BHA, and BHT (often sprayed on the inside of a package of snack food), MSG, and food coloring will give my son asthma like symptoms and allergy like symptoms.  (even kid's colored toothpaste!).  His symptoms were itchy nose and eyes, sneezing, clearing his throat, excess mucus, and a persistent dry cough at night.  Every 30 seconds.  All night long.  

I feel for you.  My son is now almost 9 and by dietary changes and doTerra, he is not medicated at all.  The Zyrtec made him wild at 3 years old and the inhalers we initially replaced with saline (for a nebulizer).  We are extremely diligent about his diet, even taking our own treats to parties, etc, but its worth every extra effort to be able to sleep peacefully each night.  Breathe worked for him somewhat, but diffusing Frankincense and Cypress (his choice on both) has brought the biggest change.  Again, the oils are amazing, but removing any triggers possible will set you up for the biggest success.  

Best wishes,

Melissa

Hi All,

My son is 4 years old and has been treated for asthma, allergies and eczema since he was a baby.  He has had pneumonia 5 times and is currently on singulair, zyrtec, flovent inhaler and albuterol inhaler which is not helping!  He has a dry cough that causes him to gag every morning and night and intermittently throughout the day.  So far, he has been on the children's a2z chewable and IQ omega from do terra and I do frankincense and breathe on his spine daily for the last month but he is still wheezing and has this cough which is driving me crazy.  I also have been putting eucalyptus on his feet.  Any new suggestions or ideas?  He is a very VERY energetic kid as well.  He rubs his eyes all day which I put lavender around if I see him doing it.  What am I missing?
