Today is day one of our trial of essential oils for Callista. I figured I would keep tabs on our (hopeful) progress here on her blog. Here is her baseline.
Minimal leg movement
Full sensation in her feet, little to none in her legs
Holds head up for a short period of time, tires quickly
Has sensory issues with loud noises and strange places
Severe reflux
Delayed speech
Hypotonia
Syrinx
So far, she enjoyed the foot massage. I will be working on her feet for a few days until I know how her sweet little ginger skin responds :) If all goes well, I will move on to the raindrop method on her back. Other oil users have testimonials that show this combination of oils and massage has shown improvement in their child. It is going to take some getting used to the smell though. My house smells a little like a tree at this point in time ;)

Hi Kimmy - I found your blog while googling 'essential oils and hypotonia'. My daughter is 22 months and has hypotonia, and I've just found young living. I was wondering if you could message me what oils you are using and how you are using them, and how it's working for your sweet little one. Thank you! Jennifer, jmccall96@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteCould you send this information to me too? A good friend of mine has a child who is almost 4 also diagnosed with Hypotonia...she is at a loss. He is just now starting to walk and still isn't talking.

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea! We used frankincense and myrrh daily with Callista. On her feet, diluted with V6 (Young living's carrier oil). We also included a shot of Ningxia Red every evening. I don't think there's a right way or wrong way to do it, as long as you're diluting the oils according to the directions :) Valor is also a good one to add to the mix I think.
