Most people are skeptical when it
comes to using the essential oils for health benefits. My Dad is no exception,
and let me tell you, he has a lot of health issues. To keep the list of his
short, I’ll just say that he has had countless surgeries, procedures, knees
replaced, pins inserted, takes injections daily, takes 2 handfuls of pills each
day, and is still in a lot of pain and not feeling well. At least he has
excellent insurance. If he didn’t, he’d be screwed and definitely not taking
all of those medications.
When I signed up for my Young Living Premium Starter Kit, he
thought I was crazy and just wasting money I didn’t have. I am in nursing
school, so money isn’t easy for me either right now. However, I saw the
benefits and possible potential of it helping me without the use of
medications, so I went for it (after a lot of research). Again, I like bargains
and yes, Young Living is more of an investment – but you get what you pay for!
I started using the oils, making
up some of my own lotions, rollerballs, and of course, diffusing it all the
time. The first rollerball I made was with just olive oil and lemongrass
essential oil. I heard it could help with my possible wrist issue, and wanted
to try it out. Shockingly, it worked for me! I thought, if it worked for me,
maybe it would help my Dad, too.
So, like a good daughter, I gave
him mine to try out and see if it would work for any of his many aches and
pains. Shockingly, it did!
He ended up buying that entire 15
mL bottle of Lemongrass from me, and I ended up making 6 rollerballs for him
(with still some of the Lemongrass from that 15 mL bottle to spare). He is on
his 2nd now I think. For future ones, I’ll be adding in Panaway, Valor, Peppermint,
and of course the Lemongrass.
When I was at my first “Make and
Take” party, we made up a pain cream. Again, it worked rather well for me, so I
tried it out my Dad. Surprisingly, again, it worked for him, too! When that one
runs out, I’ll make up another one.
Here is the essential oil pain
cream recipe in case you want to try it, too.
For someone that started out as
being super skeptical to it all, my Dad is now using the oils. He still needs
to get some essential oils for some other issues, but he is on the
oily journey with us all now, which I think is pretty cool.
Do you have someone holding you
back in your oil journey? Someone in your house mock you for using them and
then once they try it, they are hooked? Let me know your experiences with this,
I’d love to hear it!
