Sinus Congestion

[Guest guest]

Call me the meanest mom on the planet but when mine were little, i

didn't give them a choice when i wanted them to take herbal

tinctures. I had them open their mouths and i squirted it from the

dropper right in on the back of their tongue. No choice, no

opportunity to refuse. Even for the most vile tasting herbs like

astragalus or lomatium (which is what i used for when we got

campylobacter when they were little). Yep, i'm mean but they got over

the campylobacter within a few hours of the lomatium. Nasty stuff!!

I tried that but twice he has vomited it right up. Any other

suggestions, I really don't know what to do.

Yeah a dropperfull would be waaay too much of any herb when they were

little but i used the 150 rule, so they got 1 or 2 drops or so of the

herbs needed (according to their weight and age at the time).

And, our oldest one has kids of his own and calls me from MI, where

he lives, to ask what to do for a problem. His wife is the one who

objects since she believes that medical drs are gods.

My younger 2 are now teenagers and come to ask me what to take when

they feel sick for some reason. Or for a minor injury. (ER's get the

major injuries if we had any.) It's just the way they were raised, i

guess. They're used to it. Since we are homeschoolers they rarely

pick up on the bugs going around but occaisionally they will get

exposed to something or other.

Is this ok for pregnant women? I am SO congested and don't know what

to do anymore. I'd appreciate if anyone has any suggestions. I

cannot breathe for anything, its so horrible and I can't even sleep.

Here is some information about aromaoils during pregnancy from http://www.dropwise.com/aromazone/aromatherapy-safety.html Certain oils should be avoided during pregnancy, especially during the

first trimester, and some essential oils should be avoided altogether due

to their toxicity. Oils that are safe to use during pregnancy include Rose,

Neroli, Jasmine Absolute, Lavender, Chamomile, Geranium, Sandalwood, Frankincense,

and all citrus oils. To be safe, it's probably best to avoid these oils

during the first trimester too.You shouldn't be using tea tree oil if you are pregnant, it's probably safe but it's always wise to be careful. Depending how far your pregnancy is, if you're past the first trimester, lavender is a good choice for breathing difficulties. If you can take contact with a certified aromatherapist and ask for her advise. Good luck./Autumn My blog: http://uk.360./lady_autumnowl----- Original Message ----Esperanza <esper_d Sent: Tuesday, 19 December, 2006 12:45:13 AM

Your congestion may be caused by your pregnancy! It is fairly common

for this to happen - I suffered greatly with my last pregnancy. Nasal

lavage ( think Netti pots) with warm, distilled saline solution, steam

tent, and humidifier gave me relief. Also, scalp massage.

I would avoid the use of many essential oils during this time, but

haven't seen any contradictions to tea tree use in pregnancy.

This does work! Or if your skin is sensitive, put it on the front of an old scarf and tie it around your neck, or even wear an old shirt with it on the front of it.

 

Now, to handle those pesky headaches that come with it.....

One way is to mix tea tree oil and lavender oil in a carrier oil or petroleum jelly (only time I would use that substance), use up to 25 drops of the oils in 25 ml of carrier oil/jelly and use it around the nostrils. Lavender is good against headaches and mixes well with tea tree oil. /Autumn My blog: http://uk.360./lady_autumnowl----- Original Message ----River Birch <riverbirch1967To:

If its a chronic thing it could be a sinus infection. Treatment with

antibiotics is not effective unless it killls all of the bacteria in a sinus

... leave a couple and within hours you have a colony again. Treatment with

antibiotics will do nothing for a viral infection.

 

Safe and temporary relief is easy .. place 4-5 drops of Eucalyptus, Blue Gum

(Eucalyptus globulus) in a coffee cup of hot water .. then cover your head

with a towel and sniff the vapor .. though I prefer to just cup my hands

around the cup and sniff.

 

Permanent relief can usually be had by doing what Stacey is doing .. sniff

or diffuse any of the Carvacrol rich Origanums .. and Rosemary, Cineole.

It might take 48-72 hours to kick the Big Bad Bug Butts .. but they will

start to sing their death songs within minutes of exposure to the Origanum

and Rosemary,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If its temporary .. like from a cold .. the above still works .. but usually

a bit faster.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-)
