Oil

Have you ever thought of using essential oils? I've heard of them in passing, but never actually gave much thought to them myself. I was visiting with a friend the other day who was telling me all about them (thanks Emili!). I got this awesome feeling when we were talking about how wonderful they are. I have always been interested in natural healing but it seemed so complicated before. I got some from her today and I'm so excited!

J. got sick a couple weeks ago. At first he was croupy at night, he's been sneezing, has a runny nose - don't worry, he doesn't have "swine flu". He's mostly better now but he coughs all night sometimes. It drives me CrAzY! He doesn't sleep well, which means that I don't either... you know how it is. Anyway... so tonight he just couldn't fall asleep because he couldn't stop coughing. I rubbed some of the oil on the bottom of his feet and in a matter of minutes he quit coughing, relaxed, and fell asleep! YeHaw! I'm seriously sleeping with some by my bed so that when he gets up in the middle of the night and gets in my bed coughing I can just re-apply.

I can't tell you how excited I am that this worked. Like I said, it's been weeks and I've been going insane! When he first had a hard time sleeping I went to the pharmacy to get some cough medicine but they told me you can't give it to kids his age. I was so disappointed, but now I have this. I actually think it's better because there's not all that extra junk in it. The oils are 100% nat-u-ral!

I am just starting to use the essential oils, but I can already feel that it's going to have a big impact. I know it sounds cheesy, but I feel so inspired! Heavenly Father has given us this world and everything on it that we need to take care of ourselves. Plants aren't just for beautifying... I know they can heal. I also know I have a lot to learn about them, but I'm so glad to finally be partaking of something pure, not synthetic. Thanks for reading...I'm so excited I just had to share. :)
