Why essential oils ?

Many people look at me strangely when I say as a family we use essential oils and I felt I should explain why we use them.

As a person, I don't hate traditional medication, its needed on many occasions and saves people's lives however what I do not like is taking medication when there is an alternative to support my body naturally.

Many of you may have read my reason for starting to use essential oils but I wanted to share it again as I personally feel it's amazing and I want to help others so the more I share the more it will hopefully help.

It was December 2016 and I had been suffering with acid reflux for a long time, I was taking Omeprazole prescription medication but was finding on many occasions it wasn't working. I asked my doctor if I could increase the dose and he said for a day or two but no longer. That set my mind on to overload of thinking but if this is meant to help me why can't I take more of it, it led to a quick pop on to the internet (yes not always a good idea) but what I read about omeprazole was seriously shocking and I needed to find another option to manage my acid reflux and fast.

You could call what happened next as fate as I was looking through my facebook feed and saw a post from a friend sharing how she had used a blend of essential oils on her daughter who had a sickness bug. Within 30 minutes her daughter was running around the lounge as though she had never been ill. I quickly messaged her saying please tell me more, I have three children so this was very important for me and also I wondered if it would work for my acid reflux. She offered to give me a sample to try and all I can say is OMG, as soon as I applied the oil it took the pain of the acid reflux away for me, yes just one drop of the oil with coconut oil on my chest.

This was the moment my life changed forever, I made the decision to stop using my Omeprazole medication and now over two years later I just use the oil blend if I get the reflux, which I have to say is not very often unless I have eaten out or had a glass of wine and oh yes the Greg's Vegan sausage roll tasted amazing but I knew it was likely to set off my acid reflux but it was great I had the oil to use after eating it.

So this is my journey into using essential oils, as a family we reach for the oils daily to support our bodies, if we have a headache then its so easy to apply the headache blend rather than just popping paracetamol into our bodies. I will say again i'm not against medication, my children receive their vaccinations but if there is a natural alternative I or them can try first then we will always try.

Some people say to me oh no I would never use natural but think about it they eat fruit and vegetables and these are all natural and I'm sure they encourage their children to eat them too.
