Essential Oil Treatments for Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis is when the germs that are collected at the back of your throat cause your tonsils to become infected. A few symptoms include: bad breath, swollen lymph nodes, difficulty swallowing, and a sore throat; nothing fun about this ailment.

If you don’t want to wait the week it takes for antibiotics to kill the infection and stop the discomfort you feel, you can try a few essential oils in combination with medication you were prescribed, such as Bay Laurel, Bergamot, Geranium, Hyssop, and Thyme. These reduce swelling, take care of the germs left over that the antibiotics don’t touch, and help with any pain.
