I looove aromatherapy! I've used it for years by making my own recipes! I DREAM TO HAVE AN AROMATHERAPY STORE IN THE FUTURE! Apothecary style one! hehe...

With Robert I've used aromatherapy since he was born. He even call his oils "the smelly medicines"! (good smelling, he loooves them!)

So, when he has fevers this are two things we try:
1) fresh water shower (gradually making it colder) - don't recommend it and I think doctors neither! though it makes his fever go down much faster
2) compresses of fresh water (not cold) with 1 or 2 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil. This oil is a refreshing one. When applied in compresses in impregnates into the skin leaving it kind of cool. This helps his fever a lot!

Hint! When using compresses, put them in the genital areas, under arms, under knees and neck... this will make the temperature go down faster!


Hope this helps anyone as it has helped me! ;P
