Breathe

This is my little (not so little) 3 year old.  Daniel has fought breathing problems since he was a little boy.  He was always sick and coughing, then he got RSV, and from there it just got worse.  He was on asthma medicine, and steroids, then off, then on.  The only reason he went off is because I'm not very good at giving daily medicine, and because I felt that daily steroids, even inhaled ones, where a bad idea.  Over the years he has grown so much and his asthma and breathing problems have become less and less. 

About a year ago I heard of a little thing called Breathe, an essential oil mix my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were using.  We tried it on Daniel when he was sick and I was surprised that it helped.  He has only had to be on steroids once in the last year.  Now when he starts coughing I rub his chest with breath, and put some drops on his hands. He will then sit and breathe it in, and a couple minutes later be ready to play.  Today is one of those days he is struggling, so we us Breathe and off he goes to play with his brothers. 

UPDATE:  He was really bad this weekend.  Just breathing it in wasn't working.  I rubbed it on his feet, chest, and back, and he gets about 4-7 hours of relief, and then needs it again.  When he was this bad before he would need steroids twice a day, and Albuterol to open his lungs every 4 hours night and day.  He slept through the night last night with no problems.  I love this stuff!!!
