10 Ways Essential Oils Have Actually Helped Me

 

EO HeaderThis 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.

Back Pain2. 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.

Headache5. 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.Foot

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.
