Wehat are essential oils? Well, they're essences of plants, trees, bark, leaves, roots, and grasses which God created for our healing.
Ezekiel 47:12 New King James Version (NKJV) 12 Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”
My life, my HEALTH
Having used a good number of these ah-may-zingly potent, deceptively strong giants, I can tell you this: physically, emotionally, even spiritually, these oils are one of the single most important discoveries my family has made -- ever. Outside of our faith, and the life-giving open heart surgery operation that my husband had at the age of 26, Young Living Essential Oils have redefined how we live. Ever since childhood, the first thing I do when anything went wrong was to call the doctor. When my kids were born, I repeated the same pattern. Perhaps I purchased something at the store to try to alleviate the symptoms, but as these addressed the symptoms but not the cause, I'd end up resorting to calling the doc on speed dial. I would go to the doctor for every malady I couldn't soldier my way through. I really didn't believe there was another way. I was actually looking into secondary insurance plans so that we could better afford the doctors' visits with our $150 copay. But one day something caught my eye on my friend's Facebook. These were all about natural ways to address a lot of my issues that were just a part of day to day life.
Is there ANOTHER way?
After weeks of reading my dear friend's posts on Facebook -- let me just admit it, I was totally stalking her posts -- I finally reached out and contacted her. The initial cost was the same amount I'd need to hand over to the doctor's office just for walking in through their doors! It took me about a month to budget for it, and imagine my surprise when she didn't hound me but let me come to her with questions, and she never asked me if I was ready to buy. Her patience and willingness to answer a million questions was very reassuring. When I finally signed up to get the kit, I was excited about becoming a wholesale member with a 24% discount. Although, really, I didn't know if I'd ever order again. When I received my starter kit from Young Living, I was a bit overwhelmed. Thankfully, my friend was not about to let me get the kit without using what I'd bought.
THREE methods of using essential oils:
AROMATICALLY
Diffusing, cupping hands, cotton ball in a vent/fan, tenting over a bowl of hot water
TOPICALLY
Except for in the ears or the eyes, anywhere along the body -- from head to toe -- is fair game
INTERNALLY
* ONLY Young Living Essential Oils that are 100% therapeutic backed by the Seed to Seal guarantee
* Not all oils are ingestible. Verify with the Essential Oil Pocket Reference whether it is indicated for internal use.
* Beverages -- water, wine, beer, juice, cidars; In food -- brownies, desserts, guacamole, sauces, meats; in capsule or in honey
Can we talk about SMELL vs EFFECTIVENESS?
When I first got my starter kit with the 11 oils, I got out each one of the bottles, opened them up, and took a big whiff. Ahem. Wow.
What first struck me was that they were definitely NOT perfume. In fact, these oils smelled like... well, trees, and roots, and bark, and shrubs. What was up with that? They weren't perfumed, there were no synthetics, and many of them didn't even smell pretty. So if I didn't like the smell, I just put it on my big toe, like my friend suggested. Fast forward a good six months, and of all 11 bottles, there was only one I still didn't appreciate the smell of... even if I did respect its usefulness. So that has been a huge part of this journey -- realizing that how an oil smells is kind of irrelevant. Its therapeutic properties are what make the oils so fabulous. And, there are enough amazing smelling ones that you can layer over the (well, stinkers!) so that if you have it closer to your nose you can still reap the benefits and breathe deeply.
