Essential Oils & End of Holiday Blues

Hi All,

2 things today. First, I wanted to talk about essential oils. I've always been a fan of homeopathic remedies (likely use to the hypochondriac in me being afraid to try anything else hehe), but also because I believe the body really has the power to heal itself when natural & pure things are put into it. When I was in nursing school, I always wanted to integrate western and eastern medicine because the combination has helped me. about 3 years ago I had precancerous cells on my cervix. My doctor, a holistic MD, suggested we try flooding my body with vitamins before trying any of the scary techniques to remove the cells. For three months I took folic acid, iodine, vitamin am and fish oil, and when I went back to see if anything had changed it turned out that my precancerous cells were gone, and the condition had actually been reversed.

Fast forward to now, I have just received about 20 essential oils in the Mail that have medicinal properties dating back to ancient times before Advil, pepto bismal, and antibiotics were even a thing. Granted, some things need pills & western medicine, but for anxiety, panic, and minor maladies I have to say, these essential oils do wonders. Lavendar oil behind my ears, peppermint oil on my shoulders, and Thieves oil on my feet is an unstoppable combo that I know is doing my body right. If any of you ever want suggestions on how to use essential oils, please let me know.

Also, I'm sad the holidays are over. It's always hard to take down the tree and put away the ornaments and decorations. Families go back home, and everyone resumes their day to days. I'm nervous about going back to school next week. Classrooms are a huge trigger for anxiety attacks. Last semester I missed so much school, but I know I can't away with it this semester if I want to be on track to graduate.

Hi Blu

Thanks for the tips re essential oils that is something I have never tried myself so would be interested to try it out and see if it works for me.

I know what you mean about coming to the end of the holidays as I find the same thing but as SC mentioned there is always something else to look forward to.
