Start at the first signs of illness or exposure, and continue throughout the course of sickness:
- On Guard: Diffuse aromatically throughout the house. Apply topically, diluting with a carrier oil, to the bottoms of their feet and to the back of their spine.
- Oregano: Apply, high diluted, to the bottoms of their feet.
- Lemon: Diffuse aromatically. Dilute and rub on their neck and throat, along with added Melaleuca.
2 drops Lavender
2 drops Melaleuca
2 drops Lemon or Purify
1 drop Frankincense
Dilute with coconut oil and apply consistently (between hourly and 3x a day)0.
If you need something stronger, take out the lemon and add Purify instead. Don't use Purify on the face or diaper area due to possible skin sensitivity as it has a few "stronger" oils in it.
Dilution ratio should be 1 essential oils to 2 coconut oil.
For the diaper area: Use 3-4 drops Melaleuca, 2 drops Lavender, 2 drops Frankincense, and coconut oil and apply at every diaper change. Melaleuca should be the oil with the greatest concentration in this blend.
Dilution should be 1:2, with the Coconut Oil being the 2.
For the mouth, for an older child who can swish and spit: 1 drop each On Guard and Lemon mixed with water, rinse and spit.
For a younger child, take highly diluted Lemon, On Guard, or Melaleuca, put less than a drop on your finger, and swipe around on the sores. Always test prior to make sure that it is not too strong.
