Testimonial Tuesday: Vomiting Baby

Today's testimonial is another GREAT one from Whitney. I wanted to tell her how great these oils are, but did NOT want to come across pushy or like I was selling something. So what I often do is lend them out. Once somebody uses them and sees how they work, the oils speak for themselves. She had a little one that was vomiting and had a fever. I sent over some Peppermint for the fever and some DiGize for the vomiting. Then I quietly waited for her to tell me if they worked :) Here is her story:

"At the time Eli was 5 months old and the only thing I could give him was Tylenol. He had been throwing up off and on for 2 days. On the evening of the third day he started vomiting more frequently, was barely eating and his fever spiked to 103. He was so sick, I just wanted to make him feel better, but there wasn't much I could do. The dr said it was a virus and we would just have to let it run its course. It makes you feel so helpless as a mom when your little ones are sick and you just have to wait it out. I was willing to try anything. I borrowed DiGize and peppermint from you. I layered them onto his stomach, chest and bottom of his feet (diluting them as directed in olive oil). He didn't vomit again after that first application and his fever came down to 101! I put them on him every two hours until his fever was normal and he started eating again. By the next morning he seemed significantly better and actually started eating normally. His fever was 99 by that afternoon. This was my first experience with young living essential oils. From this moment on I couldn't wait to use more and purchase my own. Essential oils gave me the ability to treat my little one's illness even when he was too small for most medications and they actually worked. Nothing feels more empowering as a mom than being able to help you baby when they are sick."

Cloth Diaper Odor

A quick tip for those using cloth diapers. You can get a pail liner at Green Bambino that has a small square of fabric sewn into the inside. I use a trash can with my liner in it and a lid on top to put my diapers in while they are waiting to be washed.

To help eliminate odor from "sitting" diapers, you can put several drops of essential oil onto the little square of fabric inside the bag. Then when you open your bin, you get a nice fresh smell, instead of the alternative. How awesome and easy!

My favorite oils to use in my pail liner are Purification, Peppermint, and Lemon. Of course I love them all but those are ones I tend to use often. I hope this can add even more fun to your cloth diaper routine.

Until next time ...

Testimonial Tuesday!

Today's testimonial comes from Phil. He had suffered from severe allergies. His wife Nikki and he decided to try essential oils to treat the problem. Here is their story.

"My husband has suffered from seasonal Spring allergies ever since we moved here in 2006.  Each Spring he would go to CVS and stock up on all the usual antihistamines, and Benedryl.  The would sometimes work, but would also cause him drowsiness and dizziness.  

This year, I had heard about using Lavender, Young Living oils internally and in our nasal rinses.  At the first sign of allergies we put 5 drops of oil in a gel capsule he bought at Atkins.  He took it in the evening as well as put Lavender on his feet and diffused in the bedroom.   The next morning, he said it worked fairly well, but that he wasn't quite sold and that he might take his allergy meds just to get him though the work day.  I asked him to give it 24 more hours.  So he took another Lavender pill and went to work.  That day he said he could feel the sinus pressure going away and was feeling much better.  That night he took another capsule before bed and did a sinus rinse with a drop of lavender oils as well.  I also put Peppermint oil on the back of his neck and along his spine and on his feet.  The next morning, he said he slept though the whole night and was able to breathe through his nose with NO CONGESTION!  The rest of the week, he just took one capsule with only 3 drops every other day.  That was two weeks ago and he has only had to take one capsule this week.  We still diffuse lavender in our bedroom every night and vacuum our carpets almost every day just to get allergies out.  We also take off our shoes when we get in the house.  

We are sold on Young Living oils for our family!"

It is so great to see and hear about how oils are working in the lives of those around me!

Until next time ...

Testimonial Tuesday!

I am going to try and do something I am calling Testimonial Tuesday. I love sharing what oils are doing with my health, but I think you all would enjoy hearing what they are doing for others as well. So here we go!

Today's testimony is from a friend of mine named Whitney. I have let her borrow some oils to see if they are something she would be interested in for herself and her family. Whitney is a busy mom and suffered from daily headaches. Poor thing! She was having to take Advil or Tylenol about everyday to keep it under control. Here is what she said after trying oils:

"I get a tension headache almost every day and have to take something for it. I used the peppermint and lavender around my hairline and down my neck and my headache was gone in about 10 minutes! I have also used it when I feel one starting and it has kept it from getting bad! It's amazing!"

I am sure Whitney's liver is pretty happy with her too since she gets to take less medication now!

Do you ever lend out your oils? I do. I know it will be the way for others to get to experience how awesome it can be to have them work to better there health.

Until next time ...
