This week my patience has been sorely tried! I HATE being sick! I woke up last Friday with an itchy throat so took some Oregano (in a capsule cause that stuff BURNS under your tongue), and did my Breathe, Lime, and Rosemary routine. (I put a layer of each on my nose and sinus areas.)
By Friday night, my throat was really hurting and I was coughing like crazy! I used every oil I could think of and it only kept getting worse. (I'm thinking detox here) By Saturday morning, I couldn't swallow without tons of pain, so I knew that it was my tonsillitis/strep throat issue coming back. (I usually get it every year or two around this time for some reason.)
Anyways....looked up Tonsillitis in my trusty Modern Essentials book, and Melaleuca is the recommended oil. I rubbed a couple drops into my throat and within minutes I could swallow almost pain free!!!
I kept taking Oregano (it's a natural anti-biotic) and using the other oils. Soon found out that although Breathe, Lime, and Rosemary did help some with drainage, it did not do for me what Peppermint and Lemon did. I boiled water and poured it into a bowl and added Peppermint oil. The steam did wonders for me! I drank the lemon in water and it helped soothe my throat, while at the same time breaking up all the junk in my chest.
The infection moved to my right eye, so I used Melaleuca underneath the eyes (on the bone) and it's almost gone! In ONE DAY!! I love this stuff! I love not having to pay the Dr. to tell me what I already know is wrong with me and then I love not having to take unnatural products to help me get over the sickness!
