Lavender and Helichrysm

These two wonderful oils saved me from an insta-care visit.

On a weekend visit to my grandparents, in the mountains near vernal, Paityn had an accident. She fell on the slippery hardwood floor and smacked her face on her sippy-cup, splitting her lip. As I picked my crying child off the floor, I noticed her lip was bleeding pretty bad. While trying to Apply pressure, my immediate thought was to grab helichrysm (which of course was no-where-to-be-found). So I applied Lavender 2x (about a minute apart) and the bleeding literally stopped. During this time, cole and I were Contemplating a quick dash to the insta-care for stitches. Paityn had stopped crying and sat calmly on dads lap. Throughout the next week we applied lavender and Helichrysm a couple times a day and I could not be happier With the way it has healed. She had minimal swelling in the beginning (went away within an hour), no pain stopped crying within 5 min and never cried about it again), no bruising at all, and currently has a little pink scar that is fading nicely.

 

Empowered mom!

Frankincense

I have had bloody noses off-and-on my whole life. Sometimes they would get so bad that I would end up in the Emergency Room. I have had my nose cauterized a few times and given prescription medications that have not helped. I got a bloody nose last night and I applied frankincense across the bridge of the nose, ice to my nose and kept the inside moist with coconut oil. Within a few minutes the bleeding had completely stopped. I love it!

Breathe

I have had sinus problems my entire life. I have had congestion and a difficult time breathing at night for as long as I can remember. My daughter recently gave me a diffuser and some Breathe oil. I am in LOVE! I put the oil in the diffuser every night and swipe it across my nose before falling asleep. I have not slept this good in a really long time. I don’t wake myself up snorring and I’m not congested in the mornings. I would definitely recommend  Breathe.

I have found great success using lemon oil for hangovers. I put 3-5 drops of lemon in my water bottle and drink before going to bed. I also rub the oil directly over my liver.

In the morning if I am not feeling completely up-to-par then I repeat this and also take a warm bath with 3-5 drops of lemon water.
No more hang over!

At the start of our essential oil journey I have to admit that I was really skeptical about how effective the oils really were and if I could really justify investing in them. It was hard to believe that they would work well enough that we could replace over-the-counter medicine with essential oils. So my dilemma was, how do I use these oils with an open mind and not "will" a result either way. After struggling with this for a little while I noticed something interesting. Our little 9 month old was teething and the only thing I knew to give her to help with the pain at night was Tylenol for infants.  Then I was introduced to Lavender, my wife told me to put it on her feet, back, and also rub it on her gums, so I gave it a try. From the first time I used Lavender on her gums I could tell that she calmed down so much faster than with Tylenol! night after night I would use the Lavender and I was able to get her back to sleep faster and faster ( which in turn got me to bed faster as well). I could see how well the Lavender had worked and it felt good to be able to give my child something that didn't have the side effects like we see in most over the counter products. I also came to the realization that there was no way for me to "will" this to work on my daughter. She either stopped hurting and crying, or didn't. She has no idea what it was that I was giving her, she didn't have an opinion either way. I knew at that time that this essential oil stuff was the real deal and that I needed to give it a fair chance. Our daughter is now 20 months and we have never had to take her to the Doctor for any type of illness, just her regular checkups. We haven't had to fill one prescription for her. We have been able to treat every cold, ear infection, sore tooth, bump, and scrape with the Doterra oils . Seeing how healthy she is, has for sure made me a believer.
