• 2 Year Old – Virus induced breathing issues

    Posted by Blair Petras on December 11, 2024 at 8:49 pm

    Back in September my son spent 2 nights in hospital with a bad virus and was on oxygen and steroids. I thought it was just a virus that knocked him over because we have never had issues before. Fast forward, He has now gotten a few colds that have caused the same issues Low SP02, belly breathing, and wheezing. We have managed to avoid the hospital but doctor has always prescribed the albuterol nebulizer and/or predinisone. This is unchartered territory for me and with breathing I have just listened. I dont want to keep giving him these things. What can I do? Some Background…. he did have eczema when he was 6 months old and he ate paleo for a year and supplements was able to reverse it. We have occasional flare ups but nothing like it was and very manageable with beef tallow and epsom salt baths. We were able to avoid any sorta steroid on him for his eczema. I am just defeated that now he is having to take them.

    In case of en emergency, do not feel bad in using what you had to! In terms of healing, Helichrsym, Melissa and the tree oils are amazing for lung support. Raven can be slathered on as soon as you notice symptoms. I would also make sure he is taking Mightypro and Ningxia/minerals. Diffuse in his room at bedtime and work on his immune system

    Thank you so much! Melissa and Helyschrum are so expensive for us right now. I could possibly buy one of them. Which of the tree oils do you recommend? I do have raven already.

    Melissa is gold to have on hand for ALL sorts of illnesses, so if you could only pick one I would say that one. Right now evergreen essence is available and its a great blend, so is winter nights or northern lights black spruce.
