Our Essential Oil Journey

I was reintroduced to essential oils recently and I knew they were the answer to Corey's restless leg syndrome. Corey's RLS was the sole purpose I bought my Young Living premium starter kit in March. There have been no medications available to him because of drug interactions to being on anticoagulants due to factor V Leiden. I found very few RLS relief testimonials from oils so I researched what single oils we were going to experiment with and then surprisingly found the YL blend Aroma Siez contained each of the single oils we were going to try in the blend. He received his Aroma Siez and immediately began using it.  He has had NO restless legs! Success! We are both sleeping much better!
I was amazed with his results, I was determined to see what other chemical-free and natural remedies these oils had to offer. I am thrilled to say that I have been prescription and OTC medication free since March 30th! I never dreamed this would happen with using my oils alone. I had been on Adderall for ADD for many years. The side effects of Adderall are numerous and serious (lack of sleep, dry mouth and eyes, lack of sex drive, headaches, heart palpitations to name a few) but had outweighed the focus I was receiving from the drug. I tried many oil combinations: cedarwood/tangerine, lavender/cedarwood/vetiver, and Clarity/En-R-Gee. I felt the oils helped and the combinations were the best it could be (happy to no longer have the Adderall side effects) but I was still missing the focus. I received a Zyto scan last month resulting in Brain Power bringing 18 of 21 biomarkers back into range! This oil is the answer to my missing focus. Amazing! My first day at work with Brain Power on, I had a coworker ask if I was back on Adderall because she thought the "old Jen" was back! I have eliminated my prescription nasal spay, eye drops, and pill for seasonal allergies and replaced them with LLP (lavender/lemon/peppermint). Tylenol PM has been replaced with my homemade bedtime rub consisting of whipped coconut oil and peace&calming/cedarwood/lavender. Motrin has been replaced with oils specific to each ache or pain. Corey used Thieves and clove for two root canals he has had in the past month.  Children's Sudafed decongestant has been replaced by RC and Thieves.
Corey received a Zyto scan also and scanned for Celery seed and Tsuga. The ND that scanned him explained the celery seed is commonly used for acid reflux. Corey's dentist has been requesting him to use Prilosec for several years!  She explained Tsuga was for circulation. Upon further research, we have learned Tsuga is not only for poor circulation but wounds caused by poor circulation. Corey has a stasis ulcer on his ankle that "healed" after a year of treatments and surgery at the wound center only to open back up after a short time. He is faithfully using his oils!
We have been using numerous other chemical-free remedies using our Young Living essential oils that I will continue to share with you here on our blog.
