OILS FOR HEALTH

My Health Journey with the support of Essential Oils...

Health has become so incredibly important to me over the past few years. I began my internal health journey after having symptoms of severe fatigue, heart palpitations, pain from inflammation throughout my body, I was lethargic constantly and moody!

I had enough of feeling this way and needed to do my own research to take action before my body deteriorated any further. So I began with food as medicine. I went from eating high processed foods and foods extremely high in processed sugars to eating plant based whole-foods.

The transition was gradual, I started with celery juice, then replaced my usual breakfast with a fruit bowl, then started swapping over my dairy milk to nut milk. After 2 months I came off the meat, then after 6 months I weaned myself off the coffee (which I was highly addicted too)!

During my transition I began realising that my symptoms of fatigue, inflammation etc, were not JUST from a result of poor diet, but also a result of the toxicity around me too, in my own environment.

The chemically based perfume's I was inhaling every time I applied them were going straight to my lungs. The toxic deodorant I was using was soaking into my bloodstream instantly. The skin care and make up I was lathering onto my face were going into the largest organ of my body (my skin), did you know our skin absorbs straight into the blood stream! So what we put onto it, we might as well EAT! Can you eat the skincare products, perfume and deodorant that you are currently using on your body?

So, very quickly I learned that what I apply to my skin, MUST be edible! It must be clean and pure, just like the food I started transitioning into.

But it didn't stop there for me, because then I started noticing the products around my home I was using for cleaning - whoa, that one was a big wake up call too! Especially considering I have children and I was not just putting myself at risk, but them too!

For me it meant 'stepping up' for my whole family!

So I did it! Slowly, just like my change of eating - I introduced more and more natural products into my home, bit by bit and I threw away the chemically based products as I went.

Now my cupboards are filled with DIY cleaning and skin care products, my first aid cabinet is filled with Essential Oils, my makeup drawer is all naturally based products, my dogs shampoo and sprays are all DIY, my washing liquids etc.

I am still yet to work on my teenage children though, who have taken to the mainstream chemically based perfume's and deodorants. I have success with making their DIY skin care products, they love these and they will use the natural sunscreens and bug sprays, so I am very happy with this! I will continue to educate them and planting the seeds, eventually they will make the decision for themselves naturally.

Now that I have moved through this experience for myself, I LOVE to help others move through this too and remove all the chemical based toxicity from the homes of so many families!
