Essential Oils Vs. Medication

[drenh]

Has anyone got a prescription for medication and realized the cost, and it may not be worth putting your child through the ups and downs of the meds, and have tried essential oils? or do both? Can someone comment on the type of oil used and the pros and cons of them both!!

My son would be lost without his medication. His reading scores went up drastically and no more circle pacing at night. We do use lavender essential oil to help him calm down and sleep at night, but he's a hard case and it's hard to know if it helps or not.

My 8 year old daughter has been on meds since she was 5. Due to the cost (high deductible plan and only Adderall is covered) I am taking her off. I am going to try natural supplements and essential oils. I pray they work. In addition to the cost she lost too much weight on the medication.
