I have been thinking for the past month on how to write this blog, so I decided I am just going to write it the way I would talk. So, here we go:

Right after Thanksgiving a friend of mine had posted a video about people wanting to know if Essential Oils replace medicine. Her response: HECK NO! This caught my attention very quickly because I realized I was using my essential oils WRONG. Yes, I understand I have been using essential oils for a while now, but I was not using them in the correct way to benefit my overall health and here is why… I would get sick and run to grab my essential oil bottles and inhale and rub them all over me. Of course, if they needed to be diluted I would dilute them, and not put them all on at once. What is wrong with this? Essential oils do not replace your medicine cabinet. Medicine we typically buy from the drug stores are to relieve the symptoms and not cure the disease or sickness. You’re probably thinking at this point that I am crazy, but think about it for a second. The medicine in your cabinet, grab it. Go read it. Notice how it says, “this medicine will have side effects if you have x,y,z…” Think about it. You take the medicine to relieve your symptoms, but not to cure it and end of being sick a month later or something. We rely on medicine now-a-days because that is what our world has come to. We want instant relief, and rely on medicine to give that to us. HOWEVER , essential oils don’t do this. We take essential oils not because we are sick, but to keep our bodies HEALTHY so we don’t have to rely on medicine! No, I don’t use the same essential oils everyday because our bodies change. I try and use something different everyday, and use it in a different way. I have not been sick for two months due to my realization of how I used my essential oils. It was a slap in the face because sometimes I would second guess if they even worked or not, and here I am sitting here typing this thanking the Lord for blessing me with eyes to view that video and a brain that craves more knowledge about these amazing oils. So, if you are reading this blog, my goal for you is to have that realization moment like I did, not necessarily about medicine and oils, but just in general about essential oils even if you use them or not. You don’t have to go and buy a kit if you’re not ready. Research about them. Learn more about them. It is a big step purchasing essential oils and diving into them, but if you’re still worried about it, ease into it.
