But, what surprises me is that it seems that everyone around me goes to the doctor every other week or so.
I don't believe we are healthier than most, or even fortunate with no sickness. Believe me we get sick; however, I always treat the illness as it starts with a few homeopathic skills I've learned over the years and essential oils.
If the need arises and there is something I can't treat, like the horrid case of poison ivy my youngest daughter got two years ago -- they will be the first one in the waiting room.
I am making no claim that you shouldn't see your doctor, but there are a few things you can do before hand that will truly help and just might keep you from needing to sit in that waiting room at all!
Garlic Oil:
I am a firm believer in the power of garlic oil
I also use garlic for earaches. When my ears are hurting I spoon a little bit of the liquid in the minced garlic jar into my ear. (Be careful not to get any garlic chunks in your ears!) I would recommend sitting down before you use it, because it can mess with your balance!
If you've ever had a toothache, you may already know that clove oil is a lifesaver.
Not too long ago I had a broken wisdom tooth surgically removed and subsequently I got dry socket. The pain was HORRIBLE! But, my dentist packed the socket with clove oil
I've used tea tree oil
Lemon oil
An article titled, Health Benefits of Lemon Oil found on Organic Facts, lists several benefits of essential lemon oil. It even recommends using lemon oil to relieve stress. (No wonder it makes me happy!)
Peppermint Oil:
Have you ever been somewhere and developed a severe headache? Well, I have and luckily I was in a vendor room near Cindy Barber's Young Living Exhibit. A friend told me to go over there and ask if I could sniff the peppermint oil. The Barbers encouraged me to try the oil and instructed me to place a few drops on the back of my hand and then lick it.
I did. I experienced a sensation that can only be compared to an intense wasabi eating moment. However, within minutes my headache was gone! I am so thankful they were there.
There are so many essential oils on the market, and lots of information about their uses and benefits can be found online. I recommend trying them today.
What are your favorite essential oils?
