Completely Amazed
I'm telling you, these oils are amazing! After a couple months I am still being amazed at how well these oils work. For those that know me, this time of year I have so many sinus issues. Seems every time the weather changes I get a sinus infection and am miserable for a week. Well, ever since "sinus season" started I have been diffusing Thieves and Peppermint at night. Amazing!! I can feel it coming on and I think to myself "ok this is it, I am going to wake up miserable" and by morning I am completely normal. I even diffused during the day one day and it helped so much. I just wanted to share this with you because it is changing my life!

Premium Starter Kit Changes
This Just In... Young Living has announced that they will be making two changes to their Everyday Essential Oils kit beginning on November 17. Melaleuca Alternifolia (commonly known as tea tree oil) and Stress Away will be replacing Valor and Peace and Calming. Hopefully this will make Valor and Peace and Calming available more often for those who use them regularly and need to be able to order them.

Sciatica
I deal with bouts of sciatica from time to time. Typically when have this pain I take meds and do exercises and it usually goes away in several days to a week. It is a PAIN (no pun intended). This last time I decided to see what my oils could do for me...
I made a pain cream! Here is the recipe...
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
10 drops Pan Away
10 drops Peppermint
10 drops Valor
Whip the coconut oil in glass bowl until smooth. Then mix in 10 drops of each oil. Stir until combined. Store in glass jar.
To use, place small amount in palm of hand and rub together until oil melts. Rub on area giving you pain.
I used this mixture twice a day and did my exercises and the pain was completely gone after two days of treatment with NO pain meds. You could apply cream more often if needed but twice a day seemed to be enough for me. From now on when I feel the pain coming on I am going to start using the cream immediately. Hopefully that will keep the pain from getting so bad.

First Experience
After we got home with our premium starter kit I eagerly opened everything and read through all the materials. I could not wait to try them out and see if they really work for us! We decided to start with two night time issues.... my husband snoring and sleeplessness.
Issue #1 ...
My husband almost never snored the first 10 years of our marriage. For some reason he now snores on a nightly basis. We were told to put a drop of valor on his big toes at night and that would help with the snoring. I was VERY skeptical. How is this oil on his TOES going to stop his snoring?? Not really knowing what I was doing, I applied a drop of valor to the tops of my husband's big toes that first night. The results... he still snored, BUT is was a much softer snore and I was able to fall asleep easily. I figured I must be doing something wrong so the next day I did a little research. I found out that I should be putting the oil at the base of his big toe where it meets the foot. Night two I applied the oil in this way. The results... NO snoring!!! I couldn't believe it. The next morning when I told my husband he didn't snore he said "it must have been a fluke". I can tell you, we have been using valor every night since (almost a month now) and he doesn't snore at night. It does take about 20-30 minutes before it starts working and if he falls asleep before that he does snore a little but as soon as that oil "kicks in" no more snoring the rest of the night. This alone made a believer out of me!
Issue #2 ...
My husband has been dealing with a lot of insomnia. He has tried lots of herbal sleep aids and some help but was getting tired of having to take something every night. LAVENDER to the rescue! That first night we diffused 9 drops of Lavender and I rubbed 3 drops of Lavender on his spine. He slept like a baby! In fact, he didn't get out of bed the next morning until 10:30. His body really needed the sleep. I slept like a rock too. It was the best sleep either of us has had in a long time! The next night we diffused again and I place 2 drops on his spine instead of 3. Again, we both slept wonderfully. We have tried diffusing other oils but keep coming back to the Lavender. Some nights when I am having trouble falling asleep I will put a drop on my wrist or hand and rub together then rub on my pillow. Every time I do this I fall asleep within a few minutes. This works especially good when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. So far, the Lavender works every time!

Our Entry Into the World of Essential Oils...
Some background: For a while now, my husband and I have been looking into more natural remedies for every day issues. Anything from allergies, sleep aids, help with anxiety, etc. We had started using natural herbs and they helped some. We just wanted to get away from all the chemical medications. I had heard about essentail oils but was very skeptical as to wether they really work or not.
While at an expo in town we saw the booth for Young Living Essential Oils and decided to check them out (with no intention of purchasing any). We were very impressed by the many ways each oil can be used for different items. Many of the issues we face regularly could be "fixed" with the oils that come in the premium starter kit. As a bonus they can also be used on pets! So, we decided to go ahead and sign up and purchased the premium starter kit. I couldn't wait to get home and try them out!
