My 4 year old son is autistic and suffers from allergies and constipation. He is always sick and the doctors want to continue giving him steroids and over the counter "allergy" medicine, which isn't working. We are scheduled to see a specialist in July (the next soonest appointment) but in the meantime I have been searching for a holistic / natural remedy for him and am very curious about the kid safe essential oils! It would be a miracle If I found something that works for my son. Thank tou for your consideration
