How to Use Essential Oils for Weight Loss

Over the past few weeks, my journey with Essential Oils has just been incredible! I've learned so much in such a short time, and every day it seems as though there's even more to learn about how great these oils are and what they can do.

In case you missed them, be sure to check out my posts about how Essential Oils have helped me with everything from an earache to menstrual cramps. They've also helped my hubby ease up on the snoring at night and get better rest, along with a host of other things.

I was excited to get my order from Young Living yesterday because I wanted to try the weight loss capsules I had heard so much about. Soon after they arrived, I put together my first capsule.

To start, you need empty veggie capsules, which you can find at any natural foods store. Good Earth here in Elmira, NY is where I found mine. This is the recipe:

4 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
4 Drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
4 Drops Peppermint Essential Oil

Add to capsule and take immediately. 

You can also make these ahead of time and keep them in the freezer. Otherwise, the oils may dissolve the capsule over time.

I will be excited to see how these Essential Oils work. I've already done a lot of fine-tuning on my diet (we've cut out most processed foods) and I'm getting back into my exercise regimen. I'm confident that because this combo has worked for others, it will work well for me too.

I'll keep you posted!

My Journey with Essential Oils: Menstrual Cramps, Be Gone!

**Disclaimer** This post is all about how Essential Oils helped me when I was dealing with severe menstrual pain. If you're a guy, you've been warned. However, I won't be getting too graphic. You may want to read on in efforts to help a woman you love!

If you know me at all, then you know that I tend to take pain with a grain of salt. I can handle a little pain, and even had to be told after one of my C-sections that it was OK for me to ask for pain medicine. I just had a baby and I didn't need to be a martyr.

My periods have always been pretty irregular. I've dealt with this my entire life. However, whether it's because I had a tubal ligation a few years ago, or because I'm almost 40, they've become more irregular than ever during the last few months. That means that when I do get my period, it causes a great deal of pain.

Saturday I woke up with horrible cramps. In fact they were so bad I could feel my uterus spasming. I've never felt that before. If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a baby kicking me. No, it was just my period making itself known for the first time since the end of January.

Because I had been doing my research on Essential Oils, I knew there was something that I could use that would help. I was right. PanAway was just what I needed to calm things down and make the pain stop. I put two drops of PanAway in my hand and massaged it into my stomach. In no time at all my cramps had disappeared and that spasming sensation was gone too.

In an effort to keep things nice and relaxed, I diffused Lavender in my diffuser. Lavender has amazing calming properties and it worked wonders for me.

I've watched as Essential Oils have transformed so many things for my family. I truly believe that God gave us plants to be used to heal our bodies. I'm living proof that they work!

Maybe you've been thinking about giving Essential Oils a try for yourself. Please get in touch with me so I can answer your questions! Your life can be transformed too.

Discovering Essential Oils: My Earache is Gone!

Hey Guys!

I'll trust that you're reading this because you've been checking out my new blog about Essential Oils and you're curious. Maybe you've thought about using Essential Oils for yourself or your family, but you just weren't sure how they work or what they do. I'm brand new on this journey, which is perfect because you can watch me discover all of the great things I'm learning with my Essential Oils.

This is just a quick post because I promised myself I'd be in bed by 11 and it's already 11:05. I don't know how that happens to me all the time...

Anyway, yesterday I was dealing with a pretty severe earache. I don't get earaches often and I think it's safe to say that it's actually been years since I had any kind of ear pain. Still, there it was. It was nagging at me and my first thought was, "Great. Now I'm going to have to take time off and go to the doctor for an antibiotic." See? I've always just been so programmed to run to the doctor to get fixed up. I don't want to have to take antibiotics all the time, and I don't want to spend time driving to the doctor either. Essential Oils offered me a solution.

Instead of calling the doctor, I decided to do a search on what Essential Oils might be able to help an earache. I was given a few different options, so I decided to choose one and give it a try. The information I found cautioned me never to put Essential Oils directly in my ear, so I took note of that. Instead, I used Purification Essential Oil and I placed two drops on a cotton ball. I swabbed the entire back of my ear, my earlobe and the area around the opening to my ear. That's it.

About an hour later, I checked it and it felt better so I did another application. An hour after that the pain was just about gone. For good measure I did another application and didn't think about it again until I went to bed. When I laid my head down on my pillow on that side, I realized it didn't hurt anymore. Today? No pain whatsoever.

Now, I could have gone to the doctor, paid my co-pay and waited to be seen for this problem. That would have taken approximately two hours out of my day, so the entire appointment would have cost me about $100 (including time off from work). That's not counting the medications they would have prescribed for me. That might have been another ten dollars. Instead? I used a few drops of Essential Oil and fixed the problem myself.

These oils are a terrific solution to just about any problem. I'm really excited to be able to share this with you.

Won't you join me on an oily journey of your own?
