This is my poor, sweet 2-year-old in extreme pain from awful constipation. Its hard to watch your toddler be in such horrible discomfort! As soon as I realized she was in trouble I turned to my oils for help. First I pulled out DigestZen, a blend of ginger, peppermint, caraway, coriander, anise, tarragon, and fennel essential oils specifically designed for all things digestive. I applied 1 drop topically clockwise on her tummy. I repeated this two more times, 20 minutes apart each time. I wasnt getting the results I was expecting in the time frame that I usually would. I called Kory concerned we might need to get a childrens suppository because of how severe it was. He assured me to trust my instincts and dig a little deeper for what to do. I knew there had to be a better, less invasive way to help my sweet girl. I then decided to put her in a bath with epsom salt, 1 drop Balance, and 1 drop Serenity (for emotional comfort). Then I tried something new: Rosemary essential oil. I applied 1 drop to her tummy in a clockwise motion, gently massaging. She instantly relaxed into a restful sleep. I let her rest in the bath for 20 minutes before pulling her out to take the rest of her nap in bed. Another 20 minutes later she awoke uncomfortable, but she was able to pass a very difficult bowel movement. Hurray! It was amazing to see a quick turnaround and have her bouncing around, jumping off my bed, and happily playing like a typical 2-year-old immediately afterward. I felt so empowered as a Mom knowing that I was able to help my toddler with something natural that is safer, way less expensive than OTC alternatives, and extremely effective. Im so grateful for my own natural tools always available in my home and that I continue learning new things every day. #knowledgeispower
