Many of of my friends and family know that I use essential oils religiously, though they may not know why. I try not to foist my beliefs on others, but in doing so, I may have actually been so reticent that people may not realize what a powerful tool they can be. I’d like to explain here why I believe so much in essential oils.
I found essential oils several years ago. At the time, I had no major health issues, but I suffered from a lot of minor annoyances that really dragged down my quality of life. I ate relatively well and I walked a couple of miles daily with my dog, but I was still gradually gaining weight. My skin felt dull and dry in places and excessively oily in others and I was losing my hair. With chronic congestion, severe acid reflux, and swollen, achy joints, I was averaging 3-4 hours of sleep each night and was lethargic and moody. Between prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements, I was taking handfuls of pills every day AND I still felt like crap.
One of the changes I made in my life was the addition of essential oils. Through extensive investigation (and trial-and-error!), I learned of the oils and oil-infused products that supported my wellbeing in the most natural, sustainable, and enjoyable way possible. And my health and emotional outlook changed dramatically!
I am still a “work in progress,” but I am healthier, more centered, and happier than I have been in years! I haven’t used a prescription medication—or even an aspirin—in over seven years and I sleep like a log. I spring out of bed each morning, and relish walking along winding creeks and wooded trails with my dog. I feel more at peace, more excited about my vision for myself and the world around me, and more empowered to embrace the future.
Essential oils transformed my life! They are potent, yet natural and bioavailable components of an incredible fulfilling and healthy lifestyle. I feel empowered and in control of my physical and emotional wellbeing.
So now you know!
I have been working on the same, and I've found that while it may not necessarily be a quick process (though sometimes there ARE quick results!), it is certainly a rewarding process, and definitely a more "lasting result" ... with great payoffs! I have also found essential oils to be a valuable partner in attaining, and maintaining, vibrant health and a great outlook on life.
Congratulations to YOU! Congratulations to BOTH of us!
