Tonsillitis

"On Monday morning, Sept. 9, 1996 my 11 year old daughter woke up with tonsillitis. Her tonsils were red and swollen. Her temperature was 100 and climbing. I put one drop of Lemon Oil, one drop of Peppermint Oil and one drop of Frankincense Oil in the palm of my hand, mixed them clockwise and applied to each side of her throat and to the bottom of her feet. I did this twice a day. On Tuesday she was worse, more swelling and now she had pus spots on each tonsil. Her temperature was now 102. Still I persisted. Late Tuesday night her fever broke. Wednesday it never got above 99.4 and the swelling and color looked better. My daughter was much better on Friday and returned to school only to find out she could not return without a doctors note. We took her to our doctor the following morning. There was very little swelling, temperature of 99 and no pus pockets on the tonsils. He said she was fine and did not need a prescription. I described her condition at the beginning of the week and he said he would have recommended removing her tonsils had he seen her then. The doctor was amazed at her recovery."
