{Always research and ask naturopathic healthcare professionals about essential oils for kids or elderly or anyone with cronic illness. }That sounded funny to me hoof and mouth!( it exists!) but only with farm animals. On the other hand, Hand foot and mouth disease is the human equivalent and my one year old got it 😱(probably from child care at the gym) and because we run on a delayed vaccine schedule I started to freak out when I noticed the spots.
It started Saturday evening 9/10/16 with a low fever and my assumption was she must be breaking a tooth because she tends to get low grade fevers when that happens.
Because we were at a friends house I gave her some Motrin and let her be fussy. Well the fever lasted about 24 hrs and then I noticed the bumps😱very faint but they were there just a few but her diaper rash was horrible like she had a gluten encounter. (She's gluten intolerant) we had left Sunday evening. By Monday am she was covered in red bumps. All sorts of things were going through my head measles chicken pox, I was fear stricken.
My friend mentioned HFM so I went to searching for symptoms. By her symptoms she either had that or chicken pox and because the bumps only were on her legs arms and diaper I chalked it up to HFM. These spots showed up a day later and that sealed the deal classic sign of HFM disease.
I didn't feel the need to take her to the dr, because her fever went down and she looked good.
I whipped up some coconut oil and added some essential oils (sweet orange, tea tree, lavender, cinnamon leaf) started rubbing that on her as much as possible. And then I posted in one of my young living groups and Someone suggest purification oil so Tuesday am I started to put some diluted on the bottoms of her feet and put socks on her. Literally with in hours I noticed the bumps diminishing. The diaper area scabbed and flaked off by evening and by the next day the sores looked pretty good and on their way to healing.
Meanwhile I have been going crazy trying to keep my other two from getting it so I started Sunday night applying thieves oil to there feet and then added purification to the routine. Well it's now Thursday night and the girls have not come down with it yet.
They both take a multi vitamin and Guiliana takes additional supplements because she is going through vaccines and I have a whole process for her. You can read about our process on a vaccine detox journey. I am documenting all our process and her reactions.
I have been using essential oils for a while and I am more impressed with them every day. The uses are endless: wellbeing and health, beauty, spiritually, cleaning, I just can't say enough about them I really love them!
