Cortney - Our ear, nose, and throat specialists is recommending us to have our 4 year old sons adenoids to be removed. They are causing him congestion and problems in his ears. What can I do with the oils to help us avoid this surgery? Any suggestions?

Rob - I would do anything and everything to avoid a adenoidectomy for my child. Adenoids and tonsils play a large part in our health and fighting off infections. I would apply Purify daily on neck over tonsils. I would do a daily lymphatic massage using grapefruit and peppermint. strokes down the length of the neck, under the jaw and around the ears. Rotate weekly or more with Breathe and eucalyptus. I would get him to drink 3 drops of OnGuard twice daily in juice. He should be drinking lots of water (with lemon) to flush system. Have him cup and inhale or use a nasal inhaler three times daily with eucalyptus & peppermint or breathe. (do not underestimate to power of aroma inhalation)

Cut out pasteurized milk in case it is a dairy allergy that is contributing toward swollen or inflamed adenoid.

It is a lot of attention and work. But essential oils can help. follow this protocol till the inflammation was gone, the adjust your protocol as necessary to maintain good health.

Please keep us up to date.

Courtney - Thanks, Rob!  I will begin using your suggestions right away... I didn;t even think about the milk, my son is a huge milk drinker!

Sunny - Sorry about coming late to this party (thread). My son had his adenoids out at a young age and still, to this day, gets congested (he's 40 next year).  So, I'd say surgery isn't always the 'fix all' it's supposed to be.

Pat - Have you tried a regiment of oils yet? Breathe, Lemon and OnGuard on the bottom of his feet, diffuse Breath or eucalyptus in his room at night. When goes to sleep put Breathe under his nose. Adjust the oils according to your feelings for his wellness. I too would try to avoid surgery.
