Testimonials of Cinnamon Essential Oil

Asthma

When my son was about 3 months old he started having asthmatic problems.  I started taking him to the doctor at that time (this was during my pre-oils days).  The doctor would prescribe antibiotics and breathing treatments.  After about a year of this we decided to buy our own nebulizer since we knew we were going to use it so much.  Every time the weather changed, even slightly, we were back at the doctors office.  Each time the medicines got stronger and more frequent.  The last time I took him to the doctors was when he was 4 years old.  At that time the doctor gave him a strong antibiotic and a couple different breathing treatment medicines; one of which was an adult strength steroid.  I asked the doctor when he was going to be healed and not need these medicines anymore.  Bless this doctor... he told me the truth.  He closed the door and said, "that is not how medicine works."  He preceded to tell me that medicine doesn't heal it just takes the symptoms away and that my son would always need medicine and that it would get stronger and stronger.  I asked him what would happen when there wasn't anything stronger.  He just shook his head.  I said, you mean, after you've given him everything on the market then there will be nothing else you can do for him?  And he just looked at me, not willing or wanting to tell me the inevitable.  I asked him how long he thought there would be medicine for him.  He told me until he was a teenager.  I left that doctors appointment very discouraged and upset.  I had just realized that if I continued down the path I was headed with my son, there was a very good chance he would only live to be a teenager.  That was unacceptable to me. I don't believe that things "just happen" because at that exact same time in my sons and my life, I was introduced to essential oils.  I didn't know anything about them.  I didn't even know what they were made from.  What I did know is that I couldn't keep giving my son the medicine I had been giving him and I felt good and peaceful about the oils.  So I stopped cold turkey with the medicine and started in on the oils. I used a lot of peppermint, eucalyptus and other oils for breathing and lung problems.  I also used oils like Clove and Cinnamon to help boost his immune system. It took a while for his body to heal itself, but he is now 10 years old and he can run with the best of them. One of the best moments of my life was when he came home from school so happy because in P.E. they raced around the entire field.  He said that not only did he run the entire thing, but he won.  Coming from a boy who couldn't play any sports, that meant a great deal!  Ginger W.; Nevada
