Whooping cough is a frightening childhood disease that can be supportively accompanied with essential oils. I can still remember my mother-in-law’s vivid descriptions of my husband’s whooping cough as a child and his severe coughing fits. Her repeated description was the reason why I was always afraid that our second child would get whooping cough. Everything else just didn’t seem dangerous to me, I had no images of it in my head. If I had thought about it for myself instead of just following that one story, I would have been spared a lot of anxiety.
What I would definitely do today if I had a child with a whooping cough is the following:
Mix 2 drops each of cinnanom, thyme and hyssop and place it in a water-misting diffuser. Run this at least once, better twice a day for 15 minutes. Use only 1 drop of each for very young children.
Be well and see you around!
