Who knew Lemongrass Essential Oil had so many uses!

When I had cancer a few years back, my right leg would be tingly and be very sensitive. I found out that Lemongrass Essential Oil was good for circulation. So I figured I would buy it and try it out. I opened the bottle and fell in love with the smell.  One morning I woke up and I didn’t have my compression stocking on and my leg was aching. I put some lemongrass and coconut oil on and after awhile I noticed my leg didn’t hurt.

I couldn’t believe it and I thought if this stuff works for me I’m going to try it on my daughter because she gets leg cramps in the middle of the night. When she gets a cramp there will be no sleep in our household. She will scream and scream until we give her medicine. I would give her Tylenol and she would wake up multiple times crying her leg still hurt.  One night I tried the lemongrass oil and coconut oil on her leg. She fell asleep within minutes and she never woke up and complained. If she gets a cramp she will always ask for oil now and never Tylenol. I was just shocked how well the lemongrass oil was working for us so I did research on the oil to see what other uses it was good for and I noticed you could use it for insect repellent!I mixed  coconut oil and Lemongrass Essential Oil in a glass mason jar and put it in the cupboard. One day I noticed our dogs had a lot of flies on them during the summer. I got my mason jar out and rubbed all 3 dogs with it. The flies left them alone. Where we live, the Mosquitos are so bad that you can’t even be outside. One day they weren’t that bad so we were outside playing and of course I had my lemongrass on. I noticed that they were just buzzing by me and not landing on me. After I seen that, I ordered 2 more bottles to keep on hand.

Hating Hormones?

I understand that hormones are meant to do some pretty amazing things to our bodies (i.e. the miracle of pregnancy) BUT what about the rest of it? I get ridiculously hormonal a couple weeks before that “monthly thing” happens. Seriously, my husband usually spots when it’s coming even before I do because of my mood swings (that always upsets me by the way). Not to mention the breast swelling and tenderness, cramping, back pain, exhaustion, acne breakouts, irrational tears, heart pounding anger over silly things, migraines, bloating… and the list goes on!! I literally spend at least one day a month on the ground in the fetal position writhing with pain because my periods are so terrible.

I used to take Ibuprofen (4 pills at a time!), Midol, 5HTP, used heat packs, Pamprin, ect. I knew there had to be another way to combating these inevitable hormonal attacks without dousing my liver with pills.

When I started using essential oils I figured I would give them a try for this major pain/problem in my life! Did I mention the symptoms last half of every month!?! So I tried lavender for cramps and peppermint and they did not cut it for me. Remember, everyone’s body reacts differently from the oils so it might work for someone else. THEN I learned about this amazing oil called SclarEssense that apparently helps many women balance their hormones and keep their moods stable. I was so excited to use it! However, it made me cry… a lot! I was so sensitive and hormonal and that following month I had the worst period of my life! Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating but it was bad. I was discouraged but I wasn’t about to give up. I blame it on my stubbornness 😉

SO THEN! I ordered the Golden Touch kit that was filled with several amazing oils. One oil was called Endoflex. I started using Endoflex because it’s supposed to help support and balance your endocrine system. “Endocrine system?” I thought, “Sounds important.” Honestly, I didn’t even know what that was; I just figured I had the oil so I might as well use it.

NO MORE HORMONAL MOOD SWINGS!!!! I feel amazing! This is my second month of using it and it’s incredible! I haven’t felt ANY mood swings! No tears! No crying over stupid commercials! Nothing! I have no idea what is in this little gem of an oil, but it works so well with my body! I am thrilled! My husband is thrilled, ha ha! I have more patience with my children and I am not as exhausted as I usually am at this time. I could go on about how much this has improved my life! I know it sounds like an exaggeration, but if you only knew how bad P.M.S. runs in my family you would understand that this is a heaven sent!

If you are like me and you hate the hormonal swings that love to join our lives whether we ask for them or not, try experimenting with the natural benefits of essential oils. Works wonders for me! I would recommend Endoflex to anyone!!!

As always, thanks for reading!

Done with Dandruff

My daughter

My 3-year-old daughter has very sensitive skin. Her skin is as sensitive as my emotions (which can be ridiculously sensitive). My daughter also has thick, long, and beautiful hair. However, she has had dandruff ever since I can remember. We use the EXACT same shampoos, conditioners, ect. on her twin brother and he has never had even a flake of dandruff. I have tried to treat her flakey head with cradle cap treatments, sensitive and very expensive shampoos and conditioners, baby oil, coconut oil, the Honest Company hair wash, etc. Nothing worked!

So then I ordered the Melaleuca oil and I put a few drops in her hair wash and I gently scrubbed her scalp with a soft bristle brush. It worked a little bit but there were still some flakes at the end of the day.

UNTIL Recently!

I used the Melrose oil, I used 3 drops of Melrose with 3 drops of Melaleuca and about 2 tablespoons of pure coconut oil and after I gave her a bath I gently rubbed the mixture into her scalp and I watched with marvel as the relentless flakes gave way to their terror and they fell gracefully off of my daughter’s perfect little head! I couldn’t believe it! She of course had no idea what I was doing but she sweetly said, “Thank you mommy. Feels good.” The tea tree oil (in the Melaleuca) smells so good too!

I am thrilled to announce her dandruff is gone and her hair is silky, smooth and smells great! It feels like such an accomplishment using healthy alternatives to treating problems with my kiddos!

Thanks as always for taking the time to read this!

but also how they have positively affected our daily lives. Not only have our children been healthier after using these magnificent oils, but our pets, husbands, extended family members, strangers, neighbors, and practically anyone willing to take our advice on giving the oils a chance have benefited from these little miracle workers. There is a reason so many Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Day Cares, Nursing Homes, and Health Care Professionals use the beneficial properties found in the oils. We have chosen Young Living our trusted preference for essential because of their S.E.E.D to seal promise. You can read more about that in our future posts (because yes, we are going to be posting lots of educational AND fun posts later).
