Going thru a big unexpected change in your life? Why not add Essential Oils?
Unexpected changes happen all of the time. It can be as little as a flat tire or as big as cancer, but no matter what gets thrown our way, little or big, we need support emotionally, physically, financially and yes, spiritually!
As many of you know, I’m a person full of emotions. I feel deeply for others. Several years ago GOD planted the need in my heart to help and work with cancer patients, pampering, teaching the look good, feel better program (a program that teaches about makeup and how to enhance features), as well as teaching their care givers the Aromatouch technique.
But when cancer affects close loved ones, it gets more emotional and real for everyone involved! One of my best friends of 39 years, Andrea Humann, started to have a rash on her chest back in November. In December, it moved to her right breast. February was her doctor appointment and in April she diagnosed with breast cancer. After consultation with her doctor, Andrea decided to combine natural with the “triple threat” chemo, radiation, and surgery.
I spoke to Andrea about the emotions and side effects she was already experiencing. Here’s what she said in her words:
Well, besides you forcing me to throw away hundreds of bottles of my lotions and potions, the thought of chemo haunted me, yet my doctor thought this was the best option for me so I had to make friends with this nightmare.
I made peace with chemo thru prayer and communication with GOD and nightly meditation (YouTube guided meditation for breast cancer).
Here are the Essential Oils I’ve been using – for nausea, either digestzen under tongue, use a drink made with peppermint and lemon, or recently, I love the digestzen tabs even as a preventative when I eat. For mouth sores, I rub Copaiba on the areas of concern. Console has helped as my hair is breaking and falling out in clumps! All side effects go away but having no hair and months before it grows back is the hardest for me!
For an uplifting mood I gravitated to doTERRA’s elevation, cheer, wild orange and diffuse Bergamot for positive self-acceptance. Passion and hope help me think positive for healthy future and zest for life.
For pain I use deep blue rub, Copaiba, Siberian fir and Frankincense. FRANKINCENSE, I use it daily internally, topically and aromatically. It’s been great for mood, pain and clarity of mind! I’m already getting chemo brain where I need that clarity.
Too boost my immune system, I diffuse Onguard, take 2-3 Onguard beadlets at a time for a total of 6-9 daily and I use Onguard hand sanitizer religiously. DDR prime gives me cellular protection. Bone nutrient essential complex for vitamin D and joints.
My doctor’s highest recommendation was gut health. She said “if nothing else take a great probiotic” so I use Pb assist and terrazyme for extra gut support.
When I sleep, I diffuse serenity and purify. Finally, daily I use verage skincare, Onguard toothpaste and will be buying dōTERRA body wash.
Always talk with your doctor and remember everyone’s body chemistry is different so what works for one person might not work for another.
