I have been using Young Living's pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils for over ten years. I first fell in love with the blend, Christmas Spirit (cinnamon, orange and spruce) and it remains one of my favorites to this day. My sister, Dianne, introduced my husband and me to the lovely oils by giving us each a Raindrop Treatment. We didn't understand or "get it" at first, but now Michael and I absolutely cannot live without the oils - they are truly essential! 

Since that time, I have attended several seminars, conferences and conventions, as well as reading extensively about them. However, my favorite way to learn about oils is through personal experience and testimonials from others. I even have a pen pal from Greece!

I had lost my sense of smell and had many sinus problems for many years. Now, if I get stuffy, I just use peppermint oil on my temples and neck in addition to inhaling it and I feel fine and can smell the powerful, wonderful aroma. Mike cannot live without lavender, rose, geranium and Peace and Calming. We carry little bottles with us on our hikes and they have been invaluable if we get a cut, scrape or mosquito bite.

I have seen little miracles happen using the oils.

A little girl I know who was somewhat cranky inhaled rose and she was instantly in a state of bliss! Another little girl inhaled Christmas Spirit and fell backward on her sofa, saying, "Ahhh!" 

I was a social worker for many years, and am definitely a "people person." I am also a singer and guitarist and write songs of a meaningful, spiritual nature. I recently wrote a song called "Be an Angel" about fostering and adopting children. I use our "Thieves" lozenges before performing or speaking.

There is so much more to tell about Aromatherapy! I will continue to submit my testimonials and articles I have written.
