It wasn't until more and more people I knew started using them that I decided that this could be the thing that helps my family. You see, my kids all have focus and attention issues, learning disabilities, etc. Personally, I don't like having my kids on any medication unless they absolutely need it. I opt for a natural way of reducing pain, speeding healing, or calming if there is away.
So, when my youngest son was put on a slew of medications for ADHD, Anxiety, Impulsivity, I wanted to find another alternative. I know that oils are not a substitute for medication but if I can reduce the amount of medicine my child takes it would be much better for him.
My oldest daughter and I are plagued with migraines. Sometimes they are so bad they put us both in bed for a day. My daughter has even passed out from one and had a seizure. And like my friend Nina Say, I too have had awful pain in the side of my head. One time it lasted every few seconds for 14 days.
My daughter can't take pills because of a high gag reflex. At 18, getting medications in liquid, chewable, or sublingual form can be very expensive since we have to buy twice as much children's over the counter medications to be effective. I am hoping that Young Living Oils will help reduce our pain naturally, reduce the amount of pills we need to crush, and help save us some money in the long run.
My husband and I hate taking pills, me more so than him. I can't stand it. I don't know why but I won't takes pills if I don't have to. Even with my migraines. If it's super bad I will break down but for the most part no matter how I feel. I will try to ride it out. Some days I can and some days it's just too painful.
All that to say, I joined Young Living for my family. My kids are my life and I would rather them not be on so many medications. If I can reduce the amount of chemicals going into their bodies I will feel more at ease. This is why I took the plunge and ordered my Premium Starter Kit.
I look forward to sharing how they work, my insights and how to use them with you. If you have any questions feel free to contact me or leave me a comment on this page!

I really need to look into this more. I've been trying more natural methods but Sometimes I just feel like I don't know where to start. You've got me curious!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
DeleteEssential oils have become a part of my daily routine. I love what they have done for me :)
ReplyDeleteI am excited to watch how they will help my whole family!
DeleteI have mixed feelings about the true effectiveness of essential oils, but they DO seem to work for many people. I'll be interested to read about how you're using them a few months down the road. I hope they're beneficial!
ReplyDeleteI did too but I'm hooked ! Keep coming back I'd love to know what you think in the future!
ReplyDeleteI too joined Young Living! I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are staying on top of your family's health. I find a blend of traditional medication and some more natural elements, like essential oils, works best for me.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my essential oils! I'll never be without them!
ReplyDeleteI swear by Tea Tree oil for acne. Everyone gets into oils for different reasons. I'm glad you are happy. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!!! I'll have to try that!
DeleteI've been very skeptical, too. But I finally agreed to let a friend send me some samples. I can't wait to see for myself what they do or don't do.
ReplyDeleteI hope it really works out beautifully in every way you're hoping. I know people are just loving it!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Young Living for awhile now, especially for the boys. I prefer a homeopathic route and YL is doing just that.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try Young Living to see how it works with getting my oldest to sleep quickly. She's a very determined, work driven child so her mind seems to be on work mode all the time and it's harder for her to wire down quickly
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Stress Away would be a great oil for that!
