Then 2020 hit us, like a freight train!! I went into lockdown with two kids under 5 years old, a PhD thesis to finish and a full time job. It was rough! After having to deal with depression and anxiety during certain periods of my life, I could recognise the signs but it was not until my son broke his femur that I finally broke. It was all too much, and back on medication I went. It was during this time that a very good friend said to me, you need essential oils. I was skeptical but desperate enough to try them. She sent me five small sample bottles and within a week I noticed a marked difference in my mood as well as muscle tension in my back. After doing my research, I signed up and have not looked back. One month after using the oils internally, topically and in a diffuser with my daily routine, I was able to go off my medication.
I am still learning and slowly changing my lifestyle to use oils in all aspects of my life, replacing cleaning chemicals, treating the plants in my garden and using them for my pets. It is so exciting to have found something natural to replace so many chemicals with and promote the general well being of my family.
I look forward to sharing how I use oils and what their many uses are. Contact me or follow my blog for more information.
