I've recently noticed that there have been a couple concerns of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease in the area. Hand foot and mouth disease is a common viral disease usually seen in children younger than 5 years of age. Symptoms include fever, blister sores in the mouth and a skin rash.
The best way to prevent this disease is to wash your hands regularly and to avoid close contact with those that have been infected.
If your child has been exposed to hand foot and mouth disease it is important to stay hydrated. There are 3 essential oil blends that may help to shorten the duration of symptoms: thieves essential oil blend, mountain savory, and purification essential oil blend.
Mix one drop of essential oil of your choice with one tablespoon coconut or olive oil. Massage into the spine and/or bottoms of the feet. Use what you have available or alternate between all 3 oils. You can do this as much as every diaper change until symptoms are gone.
Remember it always a good idea to contact your health care provider about any questions or concerns you may have before starting any treatment.
For more information or to purchase essential oils please let me know.
