I have dealt with the very challenging health issues of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome for 17 years. Over this time I have searched relentlessly for ways to reduce the pain and increase my energy. I gravitate towards natural healing and have been absolutely amazed at what pure oils can do. Originally I started using the oils for allergies. The combination of lemon, lavender and peppermint was the only thing I found to eliminate the allergic cough I had for over a year. Within two days the cough was gone and I became a fan of essential oils. As the next step I started using lavender every night to help me sleep. Sleeping with fibromyalgia is a huge challenge so adding lavender to my "tool bag" has helped.
Many people with fibromyalgia have a high sensitivity to smells. When smelling lower quality essential oils I would quickly get a headache and become nauseated so for many years I avoided essential oils thinking they were all the same. When I was introduced to the 100% pure oils, I found that very few cause my smell sensitivity to flare. On days I feel more sensitive I just put then on the bottoms of my feet and reap the substantial benefits without the smell.
My next step with the oils came during cold and flu season. We were exposed just before a family reunion where we most definitely did not want to be sick. We took the Protective Blend and were able to make the reunion. From that day forward we took the Protective Blend every day during the flu season and neither of us got sick.
Around the same time I was rear ended in a high speed car accident. That did a lot of damage to my body and I turned to the Soothing Blend. My love of the oils fully blossomed from there.
Lately I have found myself around so many people that are looking for healing help. I realized that I have a tremendous amount of knowledge and a lot to say. Basically, I have had a full time job of pain management for 17 years. Not just a little pain here and there, but A LOT of pain on a daily basis. I am proud that I've continued to search for ways to enjoy my life and get out of bed every day because frankly, there have been days where it is just so overwhelming.
As you probably noticed if you read through this website, I tend to focus on animals as well. I am a zoologist by training and animals have always been a passion of mine. I've somehow managed to put it all together, the love of animals + the artist + the healer + the pain manager.....
I have a purpose and that is to bring healing to as many people and pets as possible.
I hope you have found some useful information that improves your life!
Happy day,
Sasha
