[Everything doTERRA] Re: cough

I am new to essential oils. I have had a chronic cough for over 30 years.Yes 30 yrs. I couldn't get any dr to even address my problem. A year ago I learned about Do Terra oils. I went to my grandsons wedding and on the plane I picked up this terrable virus. My cough got so bad that my sister was going to take me to the emergency room. I had taken my very first bottle of Breathe with me not knowing why, I had never used oils before. I was talking to someone and they told me to put the oil at the base of my throat and on the bottom of my feet. What a relief. It helped like nothing had helped in years. The only thing I had that helped at all was Peppermint Snopps that I put in a spray bottle and used it when I had a coughing attach. Later I got some peppermint oil and added it to my spray bottle, wonderful. Then I got some Frank and he helped too.- a while later- My Dr was upset with me for using the oils. He said how was he to know if it was the oils that were helping or the med he was giving me. Well he was listening to me for the first time in years so I layed low on the oils and did as he said. No more than fair, right. By this time my lung compacity was at 25% and I wasn't feeling well at all. After years of being ignored he was hearing me and helping. The damage was done. I have COPD (never smoked and never worked outside my home). I now use oils as well as the medication he has given me. " Don't tell him." I am up to 45% lung capacity. I don't  tell him much about the oils I use but I am sure they are helping too. I am beginning to feel like a real person again. He gave me medication for acid reflux to help the coughing I had at night. It worked. I am now using Digest zen, two drops in a capsule every afternoon and that works as well as the medication and it is better for me. A side effect I have gotten from the use of oils is that I don't have the urgency problem I used to have. I'm sure just not coughing is a help, but I feel the oils were a big part too. I still cough some, but I have help now.You can't know what a relief it is.

Around Friday afternoon I started to get this nasty cough. I'd had a scratchy throat Tuesday & just thought it was sore from having my massage therapist work my neck (which she did more of the back & told me my glands were inflammed, that's an issue with my liver possibly too.) I don't feel sick at all. With the cough I've been sucking on either on guard or breathe cough drops. Yesterday I felt fine. In the middle of the night the past two nights it's really hit me enough a cough drop won't do & I have to get up to take some over the counter cough medicine. I diffuse thieves (from fannie fame), balance, & orange at work most days since I work with children (students). Sometimes I put peppermint too. I have balance, orange, lemon, lavendar, deep blue, & the :thieves oils right now. What oils would you suggest for this cough? I've been drinking water too. Thanks in advance.
