This is my real testimony on how Young Living Essential Oils have truly helped my family. I have consulted with our doctors as I have gone through the process of trying some of these, so if you want to try them I would say do the same.
1. My Headaches– I get headaches quite often and this is one thing I usually run to a bottle of some kind of pill to take care of as soon as they set on. I started using the essential oils and decided to try peppermint oil. I apply a drop to my fingers and rub it on the spot that hurts (usually my temples) BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET IT IN YOUR EYES.
2. My back pain – I was in a car accident in 2010 and have been taking ibuprofen, tylenol and advil, all day every day. I decided to try the PanAway on the spots where it hurts at first I was doing both then one day I realized I hadn’t taken any meds all day. Everyday since I use it religiously.
3. A boil – My husband wears a winter hat all day working outside so he sweats and he always gets these bumps in his sideburns. Well we decided to look it up the other day because I am always having to pop it and drain it. Gross right! So I looked up a remedy for boils with essential oils. I applied Lemon and then a hot wash cloth. Not only did it go down with in 10 minutes it was also less painful for him. Day two it was almost gone! Amazing.
4. A skin tag– I have two skin tags that drive me crazy they are on the inner side of my leg. Its such a sensitive area I am always to scared to use anything. So I tried oregano on a cotton swab daily and with in days it shrunk to a tiny little spot.
5. Nausea– I had been throwing up with a stomach bug I tried peppermint oil rubbed in my hands and then inhaled. With in seconds my upset stomach felt sooo much better.
6. Sleep – Since my son was born he has never slept through the night but a few times. He is now 3! I made a sleep stick with lavender and I rub cedarwood on his back. I now get up with him very few nights (except when he has growing pains)
7. Growing Pains– Again I have a 3 year old so he is at the point of getting growing pains. I would normally wake up with him and rub his lakes maybe give him some tylenol. I now rub PanAway diluted with carrier oil on his legs and put him back to bed. Its worked perfectly since we started!
8. Cuts– I made a healing salve and carry it with me everywhere. I usually get cut at least once a week and its usually on something ridiculous like opening the peanut butter or folding a box. I applied it to the cut as soon as it started bleeding and it stopped just that quick. It also heals with in 3 or 4 days.
9. Digestion – I discovered over the summer that gluten bothers me and bad. When I have just a little bit I get a horrible sharp pain in my stomach. So I went gluten free! Well I am a carboholic so this was SUPER hard and didn’t work the best for me. So I decided to try DiGize on my tummy for a few days and try the carbs again. IT WORKED! I am careful with how much I do eat but I can again at least have a bagel here and there and not get super sick.
10. Stress– This one I am still fine tuning but I have noticed a big difference and I use this regularly. I have bad anxiety and I stress about EVERYTHING. When I feel myself getting to that point I inhale or rub on JOY. Within minutes I feel a sense of relief its soooo wonderful.
Our current ailments we are working with allergies, hair growth, sinus pressure, anxiety, ADHD, tiredness. So Stay tuned.
Essential oils have been a blessing. I am still learning and will continue to learn about them but they have been worth the money over and over again! I can’t believe it took me so long to find them haha.
