How Essential Oils have changed my life...
I have never been one for taking medication, which is kind of odd because my "full time" job is working as a Reimbursement Specialist (fancy name for saying I get to argue with insurance companies all day to verify benefits for prescription medications). But a few months ago, I was introduced to essential oils. I have since fallen in love with them. I am continually amazed at what they can do for you. Here are just a few examples of how they have helped our family...
My 10 year old son had been having stomach issues. He had been constipated so badly, that it was backing up all through his intestines, up to his stomach. This caused him pain in his abdomen, but also caused him to have reflux and be nauseous constantly. We had him on 5 different medications at one time, trying to alleviate the problem, but with no real success.
Then I tried Digestzen, a blend of essential oils from dōTERRA. I mixed a few drops of this oil with Fractionated Coconut Oil (the liquid form), and applied it to his abdomen at night before he went to bed. Within a week, he was starting to get his insides moving again, and soon had no more reflux, constipation or pain! SUCCESS!

Over the past July 4th holiday, our family traveled to Tennessee to visit some of our cousins. While we were there, my 9 year old daughter and her young cousin were out in the golf cart, driving around the property. The girls stopped the cart to get out, but the cart started moving again, and my daughter reached in to try to stop it. Her arm ended up getting caught between the cart and a tree. Talk about "road rash"! Her upper arm looked like it was almost shredded.
After visiting the local Urgent Care clinic and ensuring that the arm was not broken, the doctor recommended keeping the wounds covered with antibiotic ointment and bandages, and warned that it could scar. I chose to turn to my dōTERRA essential oils, and I am so grateful that I did.
I made what I call our "Owie Spray", a mixture of Lavender, Melaleuca (Tea Tree Oil) and Frankencense, along with Fractionated Coconut Oil, and applied it daily to my daughters wounds. In a week you could barely tell there had ever been a wound there. All scabs and scrapes were gone, and if you look at her arm in just the right light, you can barely see just a bit of scaring, but even that will go away with time.

Statement on Essential Oils... (the disclaimer part)
I'm not a doctor or nurse, though at times I wish I was. I won't claim that essential oils can heal, treat or prevent any malady or disease. I do believe, however, that the oils give your body a chance to heal itself. Any advice given on this page by myself is simply a suggestion and I encourage everyone to find what works for them.
I am a dōTERRA user and Wellness Adcvocate, and I love sharing my personal testimonies and resources to look up the answers to your questions. But again, my words are merely suggestions and not hard and fast facts.
I welcome any essenital oil user, natural medicine enthusiast, and just anyone interested in viewing my site here. For essenital oils, I will be focusing on dōTERRA as those are the oils I personally choose to use and am familiar with.
Not all essential oils are created equal. Please do not attempt to ingest oils that are not Therapeutic Grade or recommended for internal use/food grade. Please dilute all oils used topically and do a patch/skin test when first using, to determine any sensitivity to the oils.
