Great for Cat's Asthma
I ordered this because I read a few reviews that mentioned it helps with coughs, Ear infection and asthma. My mom had a persistent dry cough, and I have periodic ear infections along with severe allergies to pollen and pet dander. I started out conservatively, giving my mom and myself only 2-3 drops each under the tongue. She said that it helped some, and she was able to sleep through the night without waking up coughing; although it did not rid her of the cough completely, it did decrease the frequency. I noticed that my ears started to feel better (I also use some garlic oil drops in my ears for infections). But it didn't seem to be a miracle cure. After a few days of taking it both morning and night, it had no effect on my allergies. One morning my asthmatic cat walked past wheezing and then had a sneezing fit. Don't know why I didn't think sooner to try it on him as well! So (with great difficulty) I put a couple of drops in his mouth. He gave me the stink eye for the rest of the day but was blessedly free of sneezing/wheezing for about 4 hours. I only dosed him once per day because I feared giving him too much and risking a bad reaction. Well, a few days ago, I accidentally gave him half a dropperful instead of just a few drops. Oh, how he loathed the sight of me after that! Yet a miracle did occur: he had no bad reaction and did not sneeze or wheeze for the rest of the day! So I started giving the both of us a higher dosage...still no great effect on my own allergies. In all fairness, I work outside and the pollen is off the charts this year, so I think it would be a challenge for any product to give significant relief. That said, I have ordered my second bottle and will absolutely continue dosing Cedric (my cat) as it has worked so well for him. I will keep using it for myself as well, maybe go up on the dosage and see where that takes me. I recommend it heartily in light of the fact that it has so relieved my cat's asthma symptoms, though he still casts a surly eye my way whenever he sees me coming! And I believe it may be benefitting me in ways I have not yet discovered. I will definitely update when and if I see more improvement for my allergies
