Teething Support Without Synthetics

My youngest daughter got her first two teeth pretty early, and they weren't visibly too uncomfortable as they came in. She is now getting her top teeth, and they do seem to be much more distressing for her. With my older children, my first reaction would have been to reach for an over the counter pain reliever. Newer studies put out by the companies that make those pain relievers, however, suggest using them less. With this little one, we have the benefit of an oil that supports her body and its reaction to teething.

Directly from the Young Living website: "Copaiba is used to aid digestion and support the body's natural response to injury or irritation. Copaiba contains the highest amounts of beta caryophyllene of any known essential oil." Our experience has been exactly that! We apply a drop of Copaiba to her gums when she first shows signs of discomfort, and we notice she doesn't seem nearly as cranky or chewy after. When she sees the bottle now, she reaches for it. We do still have the over the counter options our pediatrician recommended in the event our oil approach doesn't work and her discomfort interferes with her day, but so far we haven't had to touch them. Our pediatrician is happy with the changes we have made, and so are we.
