How my family uses Essential Oils

     My wife and I both tried the NingXia Red samples and were amazed that we felt a boost immediately. We immediately ordered cypress so we would have the three oils for muscle pains.  My daughter has allergies, not to the point where her eyes are always itching and watery but to the point where she was constantly clearing her throat.  This kept her from sleeping soundly and always woke up tired. We put lavender diluted in olive oil on the ball of her feet just under the second, third and fourth toes.  She slept through the night and was well rested in the morning.  We have switch to peppermint diluted in olive oil and we switch back and forth alternating between the two. The reason we dilute the oil is for skin sensitivity for younger children, she was 6 when we started doing this.

  In January of the following year everyone that I worked with got the flu.  I was told ahead of time that the first day I would be throwing up all day.  Then on the third day I would spend the entire time in the bathroom.  Then came the day I started to feel nauseous.  I went home about 1:30 and grabbed a water bottle.  I put in a couple of drops of peppermint and shook it and took a few sips and lay down to sleep. I woke up about a half hour later and took a few more sips.  Woke up about an hour later and a few more sips.  I got up and had a full meal with my family at 6:30 and never threw up after drinking the peppermint water.  I continued to drink peppermint water and never had diarrhea either.  I did have the achiness that you get from the flu but found out later that there are some oils I could have tried to avoid that too. My son hates mint but anytime he gets an upset stomach he asks either my wife or myself for peppermint water.

     We user brainpower or peppermint for headaches or a variety of oils on our children for coughs and fevers.  The year we started the oils (started in October) we took our children to the doctors seven times for various ailments.  The following year we went twice and once was for their annual checkup.  We still believe in seeing the doctor but having incorporated oils into our everyday living we have not had the need.

     We started drinking distilled water instead of our tap water but it tastes horrible by itself.  So we add 5-7 drops of lemon (a purifier) and 5-7 drops grapefruit (great for burning fat and cellulite) and it tastes great.  We found when we drink tap water now it not only doesn't taste as good but it does not refresh us as well either.

     Because of job changes I didn't have Dental insurance for a year so I was worried that my teeth would be hard to clean when I got a cleaning after a year and a half from my last cleaning.  Two months before our appointment we decided to try the Dentarome Ultra toothpaste.  After the first brushing we felt like our teeth were cleaner.  After a week they felt almost like they do right after a cleaning by the dentist.  When we went to the dentist he commented about how clean and very little plaque there was on our teeth.  We decided to order the toothpaste both for ourselves and our children.

     The NingXia Red became a daily addition to our lunch time meal.  It helps with our energy level and with our endurance.  I also believe that it has helped with my vision.  At my last vision appointment the doctor told me my vision had "improved" since my last checkup and I could tell too.  I have not gotten sick as often either.  One problem that I have had, before taking the juice, is my legs would get sore in the middle of the night and wake me up.  After taking the NingXia Red for a couple of days I have not had that problem.  When I go off the juice for 3 or 4 days the problem comes back. I sleep so much better taking it.

     I could not possibly list everything we do with the oils but I have given a few items in different areas.  If you have any question please feel free to email me and I will try to get back to you as quick as I can.
