Our doTERRA Story

There I was at the pharmacy getting two prescriptions filled thanks to an allergist who hadn't done a single test. Not for me, for my fourteen month old daughter. Yet she didn't hesitate to write out Singular and an inhaler for her based off what I told her: Amelia had RSV two months ago and the coughing at night won't go away. The allergist told me what the parting nurses at the hospital had two months prior: Looks like she'll have childhood asthma...might not grow out of it until three or four years old. They gave breathing treatments and inhalers to us as if they were candy.

As a mother none of this felt right. Because my daughter had RSV when she was twelve months old meant she needed two different drugs in her system? No thank you. What did I do next, you ask? I searched the Internet like every tech savvy mama does. And what I found was something I already had in my medicine cabinet. Essential oils! Off I went with eucalyptus in our cool mist humidifier at night. I made a salve with coconut oil and various essential oils. Hot steamy showers to help the crud out. It seemed to help (a little) but after two months, I went back to the Internet and discovered another suggestion. Essential oils. But this time the site had a whole slew of people raving about doTERRA's essential oils. Was there really a difference in essential oils though?

For me, all I needed was experiencing the oils first hand to see if they'd work as everyone swore they would. Within minutes of putting the Breathe blend on my daughter, she had a runny nose and was pushing all that accumulated junk out of her lungs! Breathe is doTERRA's respiratory blend which has Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Tea tree, Lemon and Ravensara. It can be diffused or applied topically. This single bottle of Breathe was all I needed to convince me doTERRA had something special that 'those other brands' didn't!
