August is the month that most schools are back in session at the beginning of the month instead of waiting for Labor Day like we did when I was in school. It seemed like summers were much longer then than they are now. The days of summer as an adult seem to blend together into work days.
The doctors’ offices quickly begin to notice that kids are back in school by the large amount of kids filling the waiting rooms up and the emergency rooms that are busy with sick children during the night. As a mother you want to protect your kids from all the sniffles, colds and coughs but as hard as we try they are still exposed to the germs that cause school shared illness.
As a nurse, I have drilled my boys about hand washing and keep their hands to themselves. Cover their mouth when they cough and wash their hands after they use a Kleenex. No matter how much I encourage them they are still exposed to the ones who are not taught general hand washing and germ prevention. I work with adults who still go to the bathroom and do not wash their hands, sneeze and wipe their hands on their pants and reach for an ink pen that gets laid down on the desk for the next person to come along and use. Gross!
Schools have a big job cleaning and disinfecting the classroom, hallways and bathrooms. The janitors do not get enough credit for what they do, and I can almost guess they do not get paid enough for the chores they tackle.
I am always sad to see children walking around with a runny nose, coughing, and dark circles under their eyes. A common cold gets it nasty hands on all of us from time to time and the best fight we have is the armor to at least make it as painless as possible – and or prevent it all together.
I have been blessed that my children are healthy. If I hear a sniffle or a cough I turn on the TheraPro Premium Diffuser and diffuse the air with Thieves Essential Oil into the air to be inhaled. My youngest son likes to stand in front of the mist and inhale. When he was preschool age he seemed to keep a runny nose, I was afraid it was all the germs he had not gotten used to at school. Going to the doctor and using the usual antibiotics were not working. The last thing I wanted to do was build his immune system up against antibiotics in case some day he really needed them.
I had used a few essential oils in the past but there are so many it was a little overwhelming what all they can do. Instead I used nothing, and then several years later they showed up again at a business meeting I had attended and became very interested in the many ways that essential can be used.
The two oils that are called the “survival kit” are Peppermint and Lavender. They have many healing properties that if you only choose only two to have in your cabinet it would be these two. Peppermint has been effective against asthma, bronchitis, candida, diarrhea, fever, heartburn, hemorrhoids, hot flashes, indigestion, menstrual irregularity, headaches, motion sickness, nausea and throat infections.
Lavender It known as the universal essential oil, and can help with arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, depression, earaches, heart palpitations, hives, insect bites, laryngitis, and throat infections just to name a few.
School absence due to illness is 75% of the reason children miss school, and usually if one or two children get sick while in the school population – the germs spread very rapid. If I could only encourage school teachers to diffuse the Thieves essential oil in their class room they could help reduce the rapid spread of germs in their room. (and hopefully some of those good thieves mist drops would make it out into the hallway.
