Last year when that had happened to the youngest, we had taken him to get checked out by the doctor. What else can one do when it is something as deep inside a person as the lungs? Vital things, those lungs!
This year, I found that using therapeutic grade essential oils (my preference is Young Living) made a difference over the course of two nights. It reaches in to the cells of the lungs!
Three days later, the two said that they were better. The cough no longer had the rattle and the boys hardly coughed. Thankfully, the middle one is remembering to ask for the oils.
Some info on the science behind it:
Last month, whenever I would sense a scratchy throat or mucous in my sinus, I would just put 1 drop of Thieves on my tongue and those cold symptoms would be immediately gone.
I am so thankful for the Thieves oil and the RC (which I forgot to mention...I also put the RC on the soles of my feet and my throat when I have cold symptoms.) I am so grateful to the Young Living Essential oils. I am determined to make 2008 a healthy year for me. These oils are a gift from God and I am most grateful to have my good health restored to me.
Thank you, Young Living! Cheryl Scott RN, PhD

I used to get the flu once a year that heads straight for my chest, but since I've been using oils like Thieves and RC and taking my daily "shots" ofNingXia Red, the flu has nothing on me!
Ingredients
With ten powerful single essential oils that make up the blend of RC, it is easy to see why it is so powerful. The ingredients are as follows:
Eucalyptus Globulus
Eucalyptus globulus has been shown to be a powerful antimicrobial and germ-killer. It is expectorant, mucolytic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiseptic. It reduces infections in the throat and lungs, such as rhinopharyngitis, laryngitis, flu, sinusitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Eucalyptus Radiata
Eucalyptus radiata is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antiviral, an expectorant, and anti-inflammatory. It has strong action against bronchitis and sinusitis.
Eucalyptus Citriodora
Eucalyptus citriodora decongests and disinfects the sinuses and lungs. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, and antispasmodic.
Myrtle (Myrtus commuis)
Myrtle supports the respiratory system and helps treat chronic coughs and tuberculosis. It is suitable to use for coughs and chest complaints with children. Sinus decongestant and alleviates throat infections.
Pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Pine opens and disinfects the respiratory system, particularly the bronchial tract. It has been used since the time of Hippocrates to support respiratory function and fight infection. According to Daniel Penoel, M.D., pine is one of the best oils for bronchitis and pneumonia.
Spruce (Picea mariana)
Spruce helps the respiratory and nervous systems. It is anti-infectious, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory.
Marjoram (Origanum majorana)
Marjoram supports the respiratory system and reduces spasms. It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, and antiseptic.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Lavender is antispasmodic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. It is relaxing and grounding.
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens)
Cypress promotes blood circulation and lymph flow. It is anti-infectious, antibacterial, antimicrobial, mucolytic, antiseptic, refreshing, and relaxing.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Peppermint is a powerful nasal and lung decongestant with antiseptic properties. It opens nasal passages, reduces cough, improves airflow to the lungs, and kills airborne bacteria, fungi and viruses. A 1994 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized cross-over study at the University of Kiel in Germany found that peppermint oil exerted a significant analgesic effect (Gobel et al., 1994).

- Digestive system
- Emotional balance

- Skin/Hair

Breathe Again has four different eucalyptus oils with several other oils and is like R.C blend “supercharged”. Breathe Again™ Essential Oil Roll-On is a proprietary blend of oils specially formulated to support respiratory health. Breathe Again contains four powerful eucalyptus oils: Eucalyptus staigeriana, Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus radiata, and Young Living’s original Ecuador single, Eucalyptus blue. Eucalyptus oils contain high amounts of cineole, which has been studied for its potential to support healthy lung function. The essential oils peppermint, myrtle, and copaiba also play an integral part in this blend. Breathe Again is available in a portable roll-on applicator, making natural relief available anywhere. And so, I am glad to say there were no antibiotics or doctor visit needed this time. I signed up for the discount, making it a bit over $20 (with 50 plus applications) for the 15ml bottle.
I can say it has paid for itself! And now I tell others about it (and how to get 24% discount). I am hoping to get Breathe Again soon... ask how it goes :)
