In 2016, my sister Lorri said, “If I sent you an essential oil kit, will you use it?” Being the ever & always supportive sister, I said “yes, of course.”
I had no idea what essential oils were.
It took me 3 months to open the box; and, I only did it because she was coming to town. I didn’t want her to see the box still unopened & the oils used. Having no idea what I was doing, I opened the kit, found an oil I recognized – Lemon, set up the diffuser, and plugged it in. It was like walking through a lemon grove & I was in heaven!
I set out to learn what the big deal was about oils. They just make the house smell better, right? Boy was I wrong. As I dived in, learning about their properties & health benefits I was truly amazed! What was even more stunning is finding out the things we were currently using in our home, on our body, in our wash were really helpful, nor healthy. Once you learn that, it’s really hard to continue using those products. However, I did. Until they were gone. Then I started reading labels, and switching out our most commonly used products.
I have since incorporated Young Living Essential oils, supplements, & products into my caregiving as well. Also in 2016 I had two surgeries within 2 months. The first was reconstructive jaw surgery. The amount of medication given to me was overwhelming. It made me sick. It’s hard to get sick when your jaw is rubber banded shut. I got fed up and grabbed the reference guide I had and all the oils I had. I searched each oil to find out which of them helped heal bruising, swelling, bone, etc. Of those 9 oils, 4 of them had properties which specifically addressed all my needs. I made my very first “roller ball” of oils and ditched the meds. I felt so much better without the fog that came with the medications & knew in my heart this was better for me. Thus, my love of essential oils was in full bloom. I believe in the products so much so that in 2018 I became a Brand Partner.
