Thank you for your response. I read the article. I must respectfully disagree with alot of what she had to say. Its not something I want to put the energy into debating or getting upset abt so I'll leave it at that.
I have used oils since 2010 including to conceive, carry to term when the majority with my risks end up giving birth early, recovery from a difficult birth, newborn care from colic to teething to croup and so on. I have successfully used the oils on my son safely and wisely and I share the info with parents new to using oils. Dr. Hill also shares info on how to use them safely for pregnancy and children. Ultimately it is up to us, as intelligent parents, to follow our intuition and do what is best for our families through education and not fear or scare tactics. I have also used care when teaching others abt oils who do have seizures, allergies or other health issues because I want them to have a good experience using oils for the first time. I believe wholeheartedly that doTERRA's oils are safe even for children and pregnancy though extra care and caution should be used, such as diluting before use or in some cases not taking internally. I personally did not feel my body could handle the oils internally when I was pregnant with my son so I just used them topically.

Neither my son or husband have respiratory issues. In fact, I am the one with the serious respiratory problems and have never done well with a humidifier, fans, etc. but after a few months of using specific oils, including diffusing, I have not had any problems with my lungs. It's been almost 5 years since my last severe asthma attack.
I do believe that all of our bodies react differently to the different uses of oils so I believe it is important to use them wisely according to how your body needs them, which it seems you are doing with your daughter :)
My sister in law came up for a visit recently and I discussed the issue with her and we both concluded that their bodies just needed to do a cleanse and diffusing was making them detox much too quickly for what their bodies can handle. Per my husband's request I stopped diffusing. I started using a protocol on my son from Dr. Susan Lawton's book, Living Healthy and Happily Ever After and within 24 hours he finally turned around. A couple days ago I defused the same oil again and he was able to handle it without any problems so I am sure our conclusion of detoxing too quickly was correct.
Please know that I am in no way trying to cause grief. I just want to express my experience with using the oils safely for children and in pregnancy. In 2013 I lost another baby due to a birth defect we didn't know I had. I was bleeding out due to a retained placenta and no one thought I was going to make it to the hospital. I used my oils and an herb tea. I made it to the hospital and when the drs and nurses heard what I had done they were impressed. It bought me three more hours of trying everything noninvasive and nonsurgical to stop the bleeding. In the end surgery was needed, but I kept hearing how the oils and tea are what saved me (I also believe Heavenly Father had a hand in it too ;) ). This hospital uses essential oils and was more open minded about holistic health than the norm. I am grateful the doctors and nurses were willing to try everything to avoid surgery (a completely different experience compared to one I had 6 months prior at another hospital that wanted to do surgery immediately for a condition I did not have. My "gut" told me to run and I did. Drove 4.5 hrs for a 3rd opinion and found I did not need surgery, just a cleanse and time to allow my body to heal).
Last year I had surgery to correct the birth defect in hopes that we won't lose another baby. I used the oils before and after to help my body handle the surgery. I used them with care and made sure that anything I used wouldn't have a negative effect on any medications I would need to take or a negative effect on my recovery. After the surgery the pain meds I was given weren't enough to stop the pain. I used an oil blend and I ended up only needing to take the prescription meds a few times. The rest of the time the oil blend was strong enough to keep me from feeling like I had my guts ripped out :) It typically takes 6-8 weeks to recover from the surgery and depending on the doctor you talk to, 3-6 months to completely recover to try to conceive again. I also had to go back within 10-14 days to have a device removed that could only be removed by a medical doctor. The device fell out on its own on day 9 and to everyone's surprise I was completely healed from the surgery and told I could try to have more children in a month if we wanted. I know it's because I was using the oils to help heal afterward.
I share in hopes that this helps others to know that with education, intuition, and being wise, we can know what is good and what is right for our bodies and our children's bodies. There are so many things we can still learn with using the oils and though I have only been using them for nearly 5 years now, I am still finding new and wonderful things about them and how I can use them effectively and safely. I know I am not alone in this. I often hear from family and friends who have learned something new and/or have experience something positive with the oils.
Use the oils with the power of knowledge and faith, not the power of fear.
Again, thank you for your thoughts :) I think those who have respiratory issues and can not handle diffusing oils might want to consider doing a gentle cleanse and then try diffusing again to see how their body reacts. It might take a few different tries, but I have seen people able to overcome allergies and other respiratory issues after a few cleanses. Good luck to you and your daughter!
