I have always been interested in natural ways to heal my body.  From as far back as I can remember I have had an aversion to pharmaceutical drugs.  I remember having to take medicine as a child and telling my Mom that I only want “half” of it, or none of it.  I literally felt that the medicine was poisoning me!  Please don’t get me wrong, allopathic medicine does serve a purpose, but I just knew in my heart that there were other ways to achieve and maintain health.

When I was 21, I developed a case of kidney stones, or so they told me.  It was never officially diagnosed.  Along with it being the most painful experience I have ever had in my life, I thought to myself “I’m way too young to have these kidney stones” and “how can I prevent this from ever happening again?”  That horrific experience sent me on my search for alternative medicine.
 
Three years later, as a massage therapist, one of my client’s at the time was using Young Living oils.  She talked about the wonderful properties and benefits of the oils.  Being the skeptic that I am, I really didn’t pay much attention.  A few months passed until one day I went to her house with a stomach ache.  She immediately gave me a few drops of Peppermint essential oil and had me rub it on my stomach.  Not even 2 minutes later my stomach felt normal again.  Well, I thought “now this is really something!  How do I get these oils?”  The essential oils from Young Living were what I was searching for all along.

Today, my collection of oils has grown from my initial Essential 7 kit to over 70 different essential oils and blends.  My collection is still growing, as the essential oils are not cheap.  I love the feeling of having natural medicine for me and my family when it’s needed.  I’ve also included Young Living’s supplements into my life.  My favorite supplement is Ningxia Red antioxidant juice.  It really gives me energy and keeps me from getting sick.  Many essential oils keep me from getting sick, too.  Before every massage client I see, I take a drop of Thieves essential oil blend and rub it all over my neck.  This keeps me protected from whatever germ, virus or bacteria that my client might be carrying.  I never worry anymore about catching anything from anyone.  I always am diffusing the essential oils in my home.  They actually kill microbes while being safe for me, my family and my pets.
 
I choose Young Living because I know the company is for the people, me and you.  Young Living has the highest standards in the world for testing the quality of the oils.  You get real results from using the products.  The care and commitment that Gary Young has for helping people is something that you don’t find too often.  I wouldn’t dream of going one day without my essential oils or supplements.  They are truly a part of me.  I hope to share Young Living’s essential oils with as many people as possible so they too can obtain the benefits and experience abundant health!
