It has been a busy week with my two high schoolers. Swim season and Basketball season has started and we are experiencing a lot of sore muscles and other aching body parts. My daughter, the swimmer, immediately comes home from practice and gets some oils to put on her sore muscles. Usually she uses a blend called panaway which helps with muscles soreness. My son had some problems with his knee. I think a lot of his knee pain is growing pains. Our reference book idicated that Spruce, Cypress, and Helichrysum may work on sore bones and joints and so we applied them with some peppermint. After two days of applications, my son said the pain has gone away. It is amazing how these oils are working on the kids and also how they are embracing their useage. They are learning that the body can heal itself with the proper treatment and that you do not need drugs when you are experiencing some pain.
We are still putting Thieves on our feet at night to fight off a lot of germs that are going around. We know a lot of people that have been experiencing a stomach virus. Lets hope that the oils plus good nutrition and rest keeps us well this winter.
