Stress Away

I received a free Stress Away with my order.  I have to say that I love this oil.  It comes in a roll on.  It has a really nice scent and within 10 minutes of rubbing some on my wrists and neck, I can actually feel that the stress is gone.  I am much more relaxed.  I like this better than Lavendar or the Peace & Calming.

Thyromin

If you know me, you know I have several medical issues including polycystic ovarian syndrome.  My husband recently read a book on hypothyroidism and we both believe I have this.  Young Living has a thyroid supplement called Thyromin.  I started taking the supplement March 26th.  I am going to try taking the supplement for at least three months to see what happens.

I will keep you updated on my progress with Thyromin.

Heartburn Relief

I had heartburn the other night so I decided to try lemon oil.  I put three drops of lemon oil on my tongue.  Within 10 minutes, the heartburn was gone.

Stuffy Nose and Congestion

My 12 year-old daughter had a stuffy nose making it hard to breathe.  It must have been bad because she actually asked me for some oils to make her breathing better.  She is typically a non-believer until she feels she needs something. 

I had her rub some of the Breathe Again roll-on on her chest.  It works similar to Vicks.  A few minutes later, she mentioned that it worked and she could breathe again.  She even asked for more a few hours later.  I guess Mom knows what she is talking about after all.  :-)

Thieves Spray

I carry a bottle of Thieves spray in my purse.  I use it for many things.  Here are some of the ways i use it:

• When my throat is sore, I spray it into my mouth/throat.
• When shopping, I spray down the cart handles.
• At work, I spray it in the air around my cubicle when people are sick.  It disinfects the air around me and it smells good.
• I have used it to clean the kitchen counter and the stove top.  It works great on grease.  Due to the small size of the bottle, I have moved on to the Thieves household cleaner instead of the spray.

Note:  Thieves spray can be ingested while Thieves household cleaner cannot be ingested.

Purification Essential Oil Blend

I use the Purification essential oil blend in the diffuser to rid the house of unpleasant odors and to disinfect the air.  It's great to diffuse when someone in the house is sick.

You can also put a couple of drops of Purification oil in your laundry to freshen up the load especially if you let it sit too long and need to rewash the clothes (which I do all the time).

NingXia Red - Prostate Cancer

My father-in-law was diagnosed with prostate cancer late last year. I don’t know much about the details but I know his cancer level was over 400. They decided to skip treatment options for now and watch it. I had him start drinking three NingXia Red individual packets a day. He did that for two months. When he went back to the doctor for a follow-up, his cancer level went down to 179! The doctor couldn’t explain it. The cancer is going away. That’s the power of prayer and NingXia Red. Thank you God for giving us what our bodies need.

NingXia Red - Diabetes

My husband's uncle has diabetes.  He monitors his blood sugar level every day.  A month ago, I had him start taking NingXia Red every day to see what would happen.  His blood sugar level has gone done substantially.  He said that NingXia Red was the best!

Headaches - Peppermint Essential Oil

I had a headache and decided to see if peppermint oil would help alleviate it. I applied a drop of peppermint oil to my temples and the back of my neck. A short time later, my headache was gone.

Update:  I have used peppermint essential oil numerous times for headaches especially if the headaches are caused by tension.  I rub peppermint all over the back of my neck, my forehead, my temples, anywhere that hurts.  I just keep it away from my eyes.  If I go overboard, the smell of peppermint will irritate my eyes.  When that happens, I just close them for a little bit.  Don't go overboard with the peppermint though.  I love the smell of it too.

Sore Throat - Cold Symptoms

October 2009

Once school started, my daughter came home with a sore throat, fever and stuffy nose. I had her suck on a Thieves lozenge. After she was finished (it took a while to dissolve), her sore throat went away. I also had applied Young Living’s lavender essential oil behind her ears. After a few minutes, her ears drained and her stuffy nose was just about gone. The fever went away shortly after that and that was the end of her being sick.

H1N1 Flu

October 2009

My daughter came down with the H1N1 flu. She had the cough, severe congestion, intermittent fevers, body aches and chills. While sick, I rubbed lavendar and peppermint oil on the bottom of her feet in the Vitaflex lung area. I believe this lessened the severity of the symptoms. She got sick before MEA break and missed that whole week of school. It took about a week before she was herself again.


During the time she was sick, my husband and I kept putting on the Thieves essential oil blend on our wrists. I sprayed the house with Thieves spray as well. I am new to Young Living essential oils so I had not yet received the NingXia Red or the diffuser. Finally, the NingXia Red came and my husband, my daughter and I had two one ounce packets a day to boost our immune systems. I just got the diffuser a few days ago and have been diffusing Purification and Thieves in the house since then.

Neither my husband or myself caught the virus from her. I believe the NingXia Red and Thieves have helped.

Welcome

Welcome to my essential oil blog!

With this blog, I am going to share my experiences with therapeutic grade essential oils. I discovered their existence last summer through a friend and started using them last fall.

I have found many benefits with using different oils and will share the details here.
