It has been a while since I posted. School and such has gotten in the way. Time to get back at it...
So I mentioned before that I would be keeping you updated on my use of Young Living Oils. I have been using these oils for a couple of months and have seen some incredible things so far.
I began using the oils to help my feet and hands as a result of reactions to chemotherapy. I take Xeloda for my Stage IV breast cancer.One of the side effects is hand and foot syndrome. Basically, it is like a chemical burn on your hands and feet from the inside out. It hurts to walk at times and the dryness of the hands and feet can be somewhat painful. The feet and hands are dry and cracking. A friend, and my upline distributor introduced me to Copaiba oil. I began using this on my hands and feet for inflammation. It definitely helped.
But we wanted to try more. The Copaiba lessened the tenderness but the dryness and stiffness was still making it difficult to bend my hands at times. So we continued to research different oils that might help. I have been using the peppermint oil for cooling effect. Just a couple of drops in water and then place it on my feet. Pretty amazing stuff!
Another oil that we have been trying these past few months is Frankincense. Yes, as in one of the gifts given to Jesus at his birth by the wise men. As it turns out, this is a very healing oil in many respects and is great for Cancer. So, yes, I began to take a few drops of this amazing oil daily. Is it curing my cancer? Don't know the answer to that, but I'm still doing really well so far.
One of the more interesting things we have tried is a blend of oils (in a capsule) that works for pain. My husband likes it better than taking over the counter pain pills. He loves how much better his joints feel when he takes that. A natural pain pill. Love it.
I did have someone comment to my husband the other day asking what I was doing. He noticed that I was happy, looked like I had lost weight (unfortunately, the scale says differently, but Yeah for people thinking that), and generally looked good.
So I have just placed my second order with Young Living OIls. Looking forward to exploring more with the new items I purchased.
