Sore scratchy throat? This will help!

The other day my son came to me complaining of a sore throat. His eyes were bloodshot, he was looking a bit pale and I could tell he did not feel good. He tried swallowing some water, and it did not go down easy.

I knew we had to act fast and hit hard whatever was hitting him, so this is what we did -

- He ate a 1/2 a can of orange juice concentrate that day and the next.
- At regular intervals or whenever we thought of it, he rotated between using essential oil blends, Wellness for Kids and Elderly and TriRemedy for Kids and Elderly.

Why the orange juice concentrate? 

It is cold and soothes the sore throat. It is also a super concentrated amount of Vitamin C to get rid of whatever was going on.


These are some fantastic essential oil blends. Essential oils have been studied and proven to kill bacteria and virus'. They also strengthen the immune system and teach your body how to get rid of these things for future reference.

Both blends were specifically made for those in mind that may not be able to handle quite the same things as adults. They are very effective and strong, while gentle of more fragile systems.

Wellness for Kids can be used over an extended period of time, whether for prevention or at the onset of illness.

TriRemedy is for a shorter period of use, usually about 7 days. This is for those things that are being stubborn or hitting really hard and fast. Rotating between the 2 of them, attacks the intruder from different angles, and makes it that much harder for it to survive!





He did this for 2 days, and that was it! Everything was gone :) I am so impressed with the results. Keep in mind I have been using essential oils and other home remedies for almost 10 years, and this has been one of my favorite experiences.

First of all, I only showed him what to do and maybe reminded him every once in a while to put some oils on. He was able to do it on his own. It helps that the oils were in roller bottles - that makes it SO nice for the kids to be able to apply them on themselves!

Second, he NEVER lost his energy. One of the worst things is when children are sick, lethargic and just laying around because they don't feel good. He was able to do all of his regular stuff, and was never slowed down.

This to me is a huge qualifier for a good quality of life. I don't mind when my children get sick, in fact I appreciate it when they do. This is because I know that their immune systems are growing, and they are getting stronger to continue to defend themselves as they grow and to make it through "sick" seasons without any troubles. When a child is so sick that they can't function for days, that takes away quality of life! It is still important for their system development, but if they can develop their systems without losing the ability to be themselves and for a shorter time, that my friend is even greater!

Enjoy a healthier winter!
