I woke up Saturday morning with a bit of a sore throat, brushed it off, thought it was just sinuses.
As the day went on, it became increasingly difficult to swallow because of the pain.
Reluctantly, I took my parents advice and went to the minute clinic. The Doc took my temp and told me I was running a fever.
She asked if I'd ever had strep throat before, of course I have!
She did a strep test and before the timer even went off it came back positive.
I thought no way, no how, school starts tomorrow!
She gave me a strong antibiotic and some throat numbing mouthwash.
As soon as I came home I did all my oils and added in a few specific to strep throat.
I awoke to a 99.7 fever, body aches, and no energy.
I somehow managed to get through the day but I came home and used my oils again, as well as diffused them, and am feeling much more at ease.
I have more energy and the body aches are almost gone. No fever since this morning and the pain with swallowing is at a minimum.
I am ever so thankful for doTERRA.
I can already tell tomorrow is going to be a better day.
So, ladies and gents, if you or anyone you know thinks they're getting strep throat, try Essential Oils. They can be a life savor.
