There are different ways each of us learns lessons in life. Sometimes we have to learn them from our own experiences and sometimes we can learn them from others.
Ten years ago I had my last son. During my pregnancy weird things were happening to me (ie I had a continuous cough and strange pains) and the doctor told me I was allergic to being pregnant. I thought he was off his rocker but he put me on some allergy medicine and the symptoms went away. I didn’t know anyone could be allergic to being pregnant.
After his birth I started getting migraines everyday. YES. EVERYDAY. I started with my local small town Dr that told me I was getting them because I was “fat”. Next I went to an endocrinologist because I thought maybe it was hormones (I still think that is a piece to the puzzle). Then I went to the headache specialist. I know you would think I should have started with him. Anyway, with a few more Dr.s added into the mix and many different medications NONE of them could help me. I started looking for my own solutions and went to someone who practiced reflexology. He used essential oils on my feet as he did this and for the first time I felt a shift in my body. I was sold.
About a year or so after that I was introduced to doTERRA essential oils. I realized very fast that I hit gold. I had tried other oils up to this point and found that sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn’t. What made the difference? I didn’t know at the time. When I found doTERRA I found out about things like PURITY and POTENCY. That’s when I knew I had gold. Here was a company that cared about the product that they sold to people not just $$$ coming in. They really wanted to put a product into the hands of people that would support their bodies in a way (using chemistry) that would assist the body in healing itself. That was amazing to me. Someone REALLY cared.
The medicines I had taken in the past were scary because now I was seeing commercials on TV that these companies that made them were being sued because of side effects like pancreatic cancer. Two of the medicines that I had been prescribed and I had taken were involved in this. Now I not only had to worry about my headaches but I also had to worry about getting cancer. How in the world was I going to stop the cells in my body from mutating? How was I going to support my body in a way to stay healthy and prevent major things from happening?
I guess time will only tell but I know there have been studies done using frankincense essential oil that shows it is good at supporting the cells of the body to help if the cells had mutated. I know the study that was done didn’t use doTERRA essential oils specifically but I have to go back to the quality of the oils. I can take this study that was done and use the information to use a product I have learned to love and trust.
Not only were these oils supportive for chronic issues but I have found that they are great for the here and now issues. I have had sinus issues the last few days. to be able to support my immune system and my breathing I have used oils like peppermint and wild orange, melaleuca, orengano, and the protective blend. I have taken them in capsules (which I feel safe doing because they have the stamp from the FDA showing they are safe for internal consumption). I have applied them topically to the areas that needed extra support and I am diffusing them right now. I want to be 100% better and I know that diffusing them also cleans the air. (Did you know that when someone sneezes or coughs it creates a germ cloud that is about 6 feet big? YUCK!!! That just grossed me out when I found out that as I walk down the sidewalk or in the mall or any hallway I may be walking through other people’s germ clouds.) Anyway if you can’t tell I love being empowered and I love empowering others. If you would like to become empowered yourself you can register for one of my webinars and buy some oils yourself. Just go to the “how to get oils” tab and follow the instructions there. If you choose to purchase the oils before attending a webinar there are instruction videos under the “how to use…” tab and more will be coming.
