Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils
(Affiliate links are included in this testimony)
I had just finished serving lunch to my kiddos and was getting ready to get my lunch together. I was proud of the fact that even though we had run out of peanut butter I was able to make some nut butter from the mixed nuts I had in the pantry. 

As I stood there at the counter, I suddenly became aware of uneven and labored breathing coming from the direction of the table. I dropped what I was doing and rushed over to my daughter. Her face was becoming splotchy, and her breathing became more and more labored. I was in a panic. 

I quickly ran to get the vitality peppermint essential oil and stuck it on the tip of her tongue, all the while I was praying with fervor. She had never shown signs of being allergic to nuts, so this took me completely by surprise. I started packing everyone up in the car to head to the children's hospital. Praying ever so desperately. I was not a stranger to food allergies as I had experienced them myself. I also grabbed the lavender and rubbed some on her neck and over her heart before buckling her in her car seat.

5 minutes later we were on the way. Trying to adhere to the rules of the road while concerned for my daughter was no easy task. My lips were moving silently, and my own breathing was quickened by concern. By the time we were halfway to the hospital the red splotches had disappeared and her breathing was back to normal. I couldn't believe it! Pulling to the side of the road I took stock of my daughter's vitals. She was completely fine and back to normal. You would have never known what she had just been through.

God led me in each moment of that day and saved my daughter from the allergic reaction she had. Who would have thought she would be able to eat all nuts after that!

Mom Life!

 

Here we go again..... this was my feeling with the extreme emotions and deep feeling reactions my 2nd youngest went through daily. 

I started to monitor when they happened and noticed she would sometimes get a red rash around her mouth as well.....I knew something was off.

This led to extra monitoring, documentation, etc....and realizing that she reacted every time we had a wheat heavy meal. So we started to eliminate a large portion of wheat/ gluten heavy meals from our diet. Her extreme emotional reactions began to calm and her rash would appear less. 

We made a doctor appointment and he said the best thing to do was to change our diet. 

Let me tell you, there is nothing like confirmation for what you were pretty sure was wrong and have been monitoring. Especially when as a mom, I know that I know my child the best. 

Do you listen to your intuition? Your gut? Or as I like to call it in my case, mommy gut? 

I have come to see this as one of God's gifts to us. The ability to sense when something is off, to feel the Holy Spirit leading us, to have the deep feeling that you know something is bothering your little ones and there is something that can help them you just have to search it out and pray to figure it out.....

I have done this on many occasions for my little ones. And there has been some fun and strange situations. But through it all, through observation, mommy gut, evidence based documentation, and throw a couple doctor visits in there too, God has lead me to many solutions for my family. 

The process is not always the same and each solution has been different, but that amazing God given and God lead instinct, mommy gut, is an amazing tool that has helped me to resolve some interesting situations in my family.
