Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil for Strep Throat, Sinus, Lung infections, etc.
I have been reading the thread on using Turpentine and Kerosene (excellent thread here: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...acteria-alone- ) with great interest and thought I would share some info on an essential oil I have been using with great success.
I have been prone to getting a lot of strep throat infections that more often than not, used to lead to lung infections and some pretty high fevers.
Over the course of the last 10 to 15 years, I used raw honey, right from the jar, a tablespoon or two at a time and slowly swallowed it so it would soothe the pain in the back of the throat.
For the most part, it works great, however, it is not very effective for infections in the sinus cavities or lungs.
Enter my new best friend!
Somewhere in my travels a few years back, I ran across this Essential Oil product:
https://www.nowfoods.com/essential-o...-blend-natural
I rub a few drops into both palms then inhale the atomized oils deeply, first through my mouth and then through each nostril.
Immediately, the strep throat pain and irritation is gone.
The best part is that it works not only in the throat, but in the sinus passages and lungs as well.
I believe this is due to the fact that I rub it into the palms and inhale it, thus allowing the atomized oils to reach deep into areas where honey would never make it.
I also put a drop or two or three into herbal tea with honey.
It does not taste bad at all, to me anyway, although some may find it does smell a little pine-like.
Knock on wood, I have made it through a few winters now with nary a cold or flu.
At the first sign of a tingle or tickle in the back of the throat, out comes the essential oil.
With 4 children, 2 still in school, all kinds of bacteria and viruses find their way into our home.
No matter how careful one tries to be, the risk of infection is always around at our home.
Everyone in our home uses it with great success.
It is relatively inexpensive (I get it for $8 CAD, taxes in, for 1 oz. at a local herbalist store) and if you are prone to strep throat, sinus or lung infections, you may want to give it a try!
Just my 2 cents for the day...
