It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd take some time today to share some things since I last wrote. I have been involved with doTERRA essential oils for 3 months now. Not only have I experienced some amazing results with the oils and supplements that I have been using, my family and friends are experiencing outstanding results as well. Being empowered to care for ourselves is such a wonderful feeling. Knowing I do not have to suffer through this or that like I did before is so awesome. For me, however, the very best part is reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones and having an impact on their lives. This is what makes me so passionate about using and sharing doTERRA with others.
I'd like to share another experience using the oils that is near and dear to my heart. It is the story about my husband's use of the oils for his seasonal depression. Like most men, he was skeptical about the efficacy of essential oils for an ailment as "big" as depression. He didn't think that he'd get relief from his symptoms so he resigned to the fact that he would suffer through the winter and when spring came in 6 months or so, he'd be back outside enjoying the sunshine. We had him on the vitamins for 6 weeks and he just didn't really notice any change in his depression symptoms, so he stopped them. There were a couple weeks that were pretty rough for him and after talking with a friend of mine who has gone through this, we decided to change up his routine.
He restarted the LLV vitamins and added 2 drops of Frankincense oil under his tongue twice a day. At first, the taste of the Frankincense was so bad that, as suggested, he added a few drops of Slim & Sassy to offset the bitter flavor. Additionally, he started rubbing either Balance on his feet in the mornings or he would switch to an "energizing" blend I learned about from another friend. He made this his daily routine and even after the first day, he said he noticed a difference. As his wife, I can honestly tell you that the differences are huge. I have my husband back! He's not as irritable or easily angered as he was before. He's the wonderful, kind, and loving man that he's always been and I can see that he feels better! One fantastic part about this story is that now, he knows the oils can do what he needs them to do. He is now going to my Modern Essentials book and looking things up and heading right to my oil case and pulling out the ones he needs. He has been empowered to deal with his health by himself and it's fantastic!
Last week, after a hugely stressful day at work, he broke out with 3 cold sores. For those of you who suffer from these, you know it can sometimes take weeks for them to fully heal. He had researched which oils to try and asked me to mix him a blend in a roll-on bottle. And after applying the oils several times a day for just 1 day, the healing process had sped up dramatically.
These oils are nothing short of amazing and I am so glad I have them. It feels so good knowing that I had a small part to play in helping my husband to feel better and to learn how to take care of himself. I am grateful for all of the people I've met and continue to learn from. I'm excited for all of the people I will meet in the coming year. But most of all, I am anxious to teach, empower, and change the lives of others. Merry Christmas to you all. :)
