sick, sick, sick, sick, sick

This last week in a half 5 of the 6 of us have been/still are sick. Jenea showed symptoms first, now the other 3 kids and I are going through the flu.

I prefer to use natural means of treating illnesses if at all possible. I've just started learning about essential oils and their healing properties. I lower their fevers and ease their nausea by putting a couple drops of peppermint oil on the sole of the kids feet, and stopped them from coughing by placing eucalyptus oil on the feet soles. Amazing.

I just ordered a bunch more to have on hand. I had no idea that oils could do so much! Here's one site full of information about the many uses of essential oils http://www.doterraoil.com/.

Here's a funny video about one way to prevent spreading "sick" germs around.
