Journey to Oils

I have heard so much about how fantastic oils can be.  Seems there is an oil for everything...  seems too good to be true but there are some things that I am desperate to fix, so I am giving it a try.

There are parts to this oil thing that seems, well...  pretty fruity.  I'm not sure if it is the oil working or simply the power of your brain to say "this is going to make me better, therefore I am better."

A couple of the issues this house is dealing with are these:


  • 6 year old got a concussion over Christmas.  Symptoms he is still struggling with are major anxiety, night-terrors, not being able to fall asleep until 12:00 AM and sometimes as late as 2:00AM, and very intense emotional reactions.
  • I am pregnant with boy #5 and have had way to many infections over the course of this pregnancy requiring 9 rounds of antibiotics, my the joints are very painful in my hands, and the nausea that has accompanied all 5 pregnancies. 
  • My 1 year old has the worst eczema. Ever.
  • My husband, while playing 'Keep Away', hyper-extended his thumb in December and is still having swelling and joint pain


For mostly my benefit, I plan on journaling when I start an oil and what results I see or don't see.  I really want to get to the bottom of this.  And since I will be going to the work of writing it all out- thought I might as well add it to my blog.  :)

The oils I have purchased to use are made by Young Living. And resources that I will be using to educate my self with be my oodles of friends who use these  oils, the Young Living Pocket Reference book, online bloggers sharing their experiences.

Also, my husband who is currently a medical student, will be in on my findings and contributing his thoughts on how oils interact with the bodies systems.

All of this effort, in hopes that life becomes a little less crazy,
Beth
