Put Thieves Essential Oil on their feet! The very first thing I do is grab their little tootsies and and drop 1-2 drops of essential oil on their feet and rub it in. Different kinds of thieves oil has different formulations, but basically it will have a mix of cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lemon and a few more. They call it thieves because it legend has it that during the medival times thieves used these oils to prevent themselves from getting the bubonic plague while stealing everything from the houses of those who had died! Crazy right! Its the real deal, though guys! It kills MRSA! I know. I have converted my essential oil sceptic husband with this oil and we are really never without it! It smells fabulous- like christmas time!
Turn on a Cool Mist Humidifier – Grab yours here: https://buff.ly/2J7jFdx Using a cool mist humidifier helps with sleep and keeping the room humid. My kids cough less and sleep better! What more could you as for! I love that it’s cool, so the room doesn’t get super hot (all though I do use steam humidifiers in other situations too!)

Well, those are the things I do right away when I start seeing symptoms of a cough or cold! Not only do my kiddos feel cared for, they sleep great and start to feel better sooner!
