Beginning the Essential Oil Journey

Young Living Essential Oils
It's an Oily Beautiful Day!


      Well I've been converted. I'm even more "hippie,"  "granola," and "crunchy." I currently cloth diaper, breast feed, try and eat organic, reduce/reuse everything possible, craft to my little (or fat) heart's content and now I'm eyeballs deep into the love of oils! 
      
       When we moved to lovely...deserty Tucson I never realized that I had chronic allergies   (way to go desert) and suffered from a sever sinus infection every few months. The doctor prescribed me nasonex and clairitin daily. Now I  don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of a daily medication... I had had enough! So I broke down and asked my friend who has been posting daily testimonies of these lovely oils. Next pay check I ordered the starter kit (pictured above) and haven't looked back.  

My precious allergy trio roll on 

       I'll begin my first testimony with my allergy trio roll on for my dang "chronic desert allergies." Like I said before since we moved here I was the victim to awful sinus infection like literally every few months and being pregnant most of that time and now breastfeeding I'm very limited on medicine I can take. In comes this sweet thang! Lemon, peppermint, and lavender young living essential oils, 5 drops each mixed in with I don't know how much carrier oil, probably around 30 drops. So far I apply as much as needed throughout the day to my neck, behind my ears, wrists, throat, you name it.  So far so good. Only the test of time can tell me how successful they are. The great thing is I can ingest this too. I plan on making capsules when my new order of peppermint and lemon come in. If anything it smells lovely and awesome.  I'm not a big fan of peppermint and love this combo. I should make a post on Young Living itself and why their oils are superior and the only safe brand to use and ingest, but here is the webpage... go check it out. Specially the Seed to Seal deal. Really awesome stuff peeps.
