ear infections

Ear infections are no fun thing.  Unfortunately it seems our kids get them often. They can be very painful and sometimes we have no clue that our kids even have one.

I had an awesome thing happen today.  I took my youngest daughter to her well-baby check up this morning at the doctors office.  He said everything was looking good, she was finally growing (she had acid-reflux really bad, which we fixed with DigestZen) the only thing was that her ears were really waxy.  Normally he would just leave them be, but he couldn't see past the wax.  So he was worried, that maybe her hearing my be affected by the blockage.  He decided to clean out the wax.  Super fun....let me tell ya :)  Holding your daughter down to have someone stick a long stick down your daughters ear, is not my type of fun!

Anyways, after that was all cleaned up he looked down her ears again and was SHOCKED at what he saw.  Her ear was bright red inside(ummm ya you just had a stick down it!) and it was pussy.  He asked if she had been running a fever or sick the past couple of days.  She hadn't been and he was really surprised.

He said we should probably treat her with some antibiotics to help clear it up.  I told him, I don't think we will need it.  I can cure ear infections with my essential oils at home.  He stopped for a minute and was like "OK" well I am going to call in the prescription, just in case..... ha, ha!!

It feels soo EMPOWERING to know that I can take care of my kids and not have to fill that prescription and shove that yucky stuff down my daughters throat!  So, right now she has a cotton ball with Basil, Frankincense and Lavender in her ear.  I seriously love doTERRA Essential Oils!

Life Long Vitality Vitamins......

I must say these are a MUST HAVE in our household! 

When I first found out that doTERRA had vitamins I was thinking great, I need a good vitamin.  At the time I was just taking my prenantals, cause I had just had a baby.   So, I thought I'll check them out and try them. 

 A vitamin is a vitamin right..............WRONG!!! 

Soo not true.  The LLV(lifelongvitality) vitamins are AMAZING. 

I got my first pack of vitamins and started taking them, by day 3-5, I was feeling a HUGE burst of energy that I didnt have before.  I had a babe so, I wasn't getting a whole lot of sleep and yet I wasn't dragging butt by noon, like I had been before.
 I thought I'm sure it will wear off eventually being the total skeptic that I am. It didn't wear off.  I just kept on trucking, feeling sooo much better then I had for a long time.  It was seriously crazy. 


I kept taking them for probably about 3 months straight and the next month on my order, I needed a couple of different things that cost a little more so to save money I took my vitamins off my order.  BAD IDEA!  The first couple of days without them were ok, then after that is was downhill from there.

About a week without them, my hubs asked me what was wrong with me? 

I was like WHAT (not in a very nice tone i'm sure)? 
He said you are off your vitamins aren't you? 
I said yes, I was... WHY?!?!
 He told me. I don't care how much they cost, you NEED them :)  You are soo much more calm, nicer, less emotional and few other things, I can't remember.  (He was trying to put it nicely, but basically saying I was a WITCH with a "B" without them!  ha,ha! )


So, if you are lacking energy, feel out of control, depressed or just plain and simple, want to feel better, then I highly suggest you try these!  I have a friend who's mom was on major anti-depressants and a bunch of other meds.  She started taking these along with a couple of other essential oils and she is now DRUG FREE!!  That is awesome.  She says that she feels sooo much better then she ever did on the anti-depressant drugs.....imagine that :)
 (I am not recommending that you go completly off of your meds if you start taking these vitamins.  That is something that you (and your doctor) will have to decide and figure out what is best!)
