I was so excited when I received my Essential Oils in the mail on Saturday!
In fact, I was so excited, I completely forgot to blog about them, but that was OK because it gave me plenty of time to try them out a few different ways. I've only had them for about three days, but I'm already thrilled with how they work.
Lemon Essential Oil
The very first thing I did was to open my oils and pull out the Lemon oil. I went to the bathroom and put a drop of it on my toothbrush, then added toothpaste and brushed my teeth. Wow! The taste was so refreshing, and I was eager to find out if my teeth would look whiter after a few days' of doing this. I'll be sure to post about those results.
My husband (who has been very skeptical about these oils) has suffered with severe stomach discomfort for a long time now. He's been taking Omeprazole for as long as I can remember. He hadn't taken his pill yet that day, and I had been told that Lemon can also help to ease acid reflux. I put three drops of Lemon into four ounces of water for each of us and we drank it. Within a few minutes, he was feeling better and he was eager to talk about how if this really worked, he wouldn't have to take Omeprazole anymore. It seemed he was beginning to come around.
Citrus Fresh Essential Oil
The second thing I did was to mix up about four drops of the Citrus Fresh oil with about 1/4 cup of coconut oil. I had read that using that mixture topically on "problem areas" (read: cellulite) can do a world of good. I've been doing that in the morning and at night.
Peppermint Essential Oil
Aside from smelling absolutely divine, Peppermint is said to take care of a host of issues. I was starting to get one of my sinus headaches and since it was right before I had to leave for my birthday dinner, I decided to use some Peppermint oil on my temples, neck and forehead before I left. By the time we got to the restaurant, I was feeling great.
My son (who is 12 years old), on the other hand, wasn't feeling so great. He had been complaining about stomach pain for a few days, and had to leave the table several times to visit the bathroom at the restaurant. When we got home, I made him some water with Lemon and had him drink that while I mixed some Peppermint in with some coconut oil. I rubbed that on his stomach where he said it was hurting. He was fine for the rest of the evening, and he still hasn't had any other issues.
PanAway Essential Oil
This was the kicker. My in-laws came to visit and go out to dinner with us that night for my birthday. My mother-in-law had been complaining about pain in her back after going swimming that morning. I knew PanAway was used to help with pain, so I mixed up about four drops of Pan Away with about a 1/4 cup of coconut oil. I gave that to her to take home. The next day, I texted her to ask how her back was feeling. She responded that she had taken some Hydrocodone (Vicodin) the night before and didn't want to use it because she wanted to see how it really worked. When she woke up the next morning, she was still in quite a bit of pain. She had just put it on and said she would text me later with results. A little while later, she did just that and reported that she had no pain!
How amazing are these results?!
I'll admit that when I ordered the oils, I really didn't think that I'd see such fast results from using them, and I'm so excited to see how well they work. I am truly a believer of their ability to do great things for the human body.
Please stay tuned as I continue to explore Essential Oils and find out even more about what they can do. I'll be sure to blog about my findings.
