Do Essential Oils even work?

​Today I might say ‘not always’. I’ve been suffering from a migraine for 2 days. Why the Lord allows us to be afflicted with things like this is beyond me. You’re going along in life, getting things done and all of a sudden whamo! you’re down for the count. Although the fact that I can write this means its better than it was. But I still feel like I’ve been knocked down. And I’ve put every oil I can think of on my forehead, temples, feet, neck – everywhere.
So am I giving up on them? No. But I do recognize their limitations. They are not magic and their job is not to fix everything. Their job is support. Would my migraine be worse if I didn’t use them – probably. Let’s not find out. Gary Young, the founder of Young Living has been quoted as saying, “You can’t out-supplement a bad diet”. Which is the floor on which the magic dies. I haven’t been eating super healthy and my exercise routine suffered while the pools were closed. And my body isn’t 25 anymore. Its demanding that I do better.
So why bother with essential oils? Because whatever I do to support my body will help it. I can’t prevent everything that will happen to my body in this broken world. I will still have a lowered immune function, damaged muscles from car accidents and changing hormones. And maybe worse in the future. But anything I do for my body will allow it to prosper. Anything I neglect, will decline. Eating healthy, exercise and good supplements, including essential oils contribute to my body’s prosperity.
What do you do to prosper physically? I happen to be someone that likes to share my journey. I’d like to hear about yours too.
Thanks for listening,
Julia

Hi. I have pain in my hips and I have discovered that if I drink my homemade,1/2 cup, milk kefir daily the pain is gone. If anyone wants to try it I can get you started with some of my grains. They multiply over time.

I have heard of milk kefir, but don't really know what it is. Its from grains? So its not cow's milk?

Milk kefir grains are live active cultures consisting of yeast and bacteria existing in a symbiotic relationship. Adding the kefir grains to fresh milk yields a delicious probiotic drink in about 24 hours. Milk kefir can be enjoyed plain, flavored, or used in many recipes like salad dressing, bread, and ice cream.
Kefir grains constantly continue to grow so I either give my extras away or I eat them.
The grains are mixed with cow or goat milk, preferably as raw and whole as possible, for 24 hours. Then you strain the milk (now a runny yogurt consistency) from the grains. Drink the milk/culture and add new milk to the grains to make tomorrow’s probiotic drink.
