Benefits from oils in my Premium Starter Kit so far (for me personally, or friends/family I’ve shared with):

I’ve only had my starter kit less than 3 weeks (at the time of writing this). I received the International Starter Kit, since I was in South Africa at the time. As friends and family have mentioned things bothering them, I’ve handed over some of the items from my Premium Starter Kit that I though might bring them some relief for their ailments. I decided to start keeping track of what the complaint was, what was done (I’ve called them “solutions” in this post), and what the outcome was, because I was actually pleasantly surprised at what the feedback was. So these are stories that are ONLY using oils from the Premium Starter Kit:

Issue: 1) Not enough “deep” sleep – indicated by smart watch. 2) Baby waking up averaging 8 times a night, not napping more than 40 minutes

Solution/result: (not just once off) Cedarwood and Lavender applied directly to bottoms of feet before bed, resulting 1)in length of deep sleep cycle doubling (and staying at that level even on a night where there was 1 less total hour of sleep due to a late night). I went from getting 13-23 minutes of deep sleep per night, to getting 60-100 minutes. 2) The baby last woke at 1am, and then slept through until 8:30. She then had a nap at 10:50 (oil was reapplied then), and slept almost 3 hours. Results continued.

Issue: Child who gets asthma/bronchitis so badly, that his severe coughing through the night causes him to vomit.

Solution/result: In a roller: 20 drops of RC, 6 drops peppermint, 5 drops cedarwood (filled with a carrier oil). Result: Not only did the child not cough to the point of vomiting, he actually slept soundly all through the night.

Issue: Major pain after broken foot requiring surgery (first couple days of being instructed to be off of crutches)

Solution/result: PanAway in roller with carrier oil. Resulting in her first time not using major pain medication, or any medication at all.

Issue: Jaw pain

Solution/result: PanAway directly on area, with immediate relief.

Issue: a giant wad of Prestick/blue tack thoroughly entangled into hair

Solution/result: Soaked hair in olive oil and cedarwood, and it all came out, hair in tact (no cutting necessary). 

Issue: back ache from prolonged studying at a desk

Solution/result: DeepRelief with carrier on area, major relief.

Issue: slight infection and pain from ear piercing (7 weeks post-piercing)

Solution/result: Thieves directly on area, pain drastically reduced, and infection gone.

Issue: hoarse voice/cough, post shingles infection

Solution/Result: RC inhaled, voice restored, chest cleared up by about 75%.

Issue: menstrual cramps

Solution/result: 7 drops each of PanAway, Peppermint, and Lavender mixed with carrier in a roller, applied on lower abdomen.  Cramps gone – for good. Did not come back later. 

Issue: Severe nausea, jumped up to go vomit

Solution/result: sniffed AromaEase from the bottle, and immediately had relief, with no recurring nausea.

 Issue: some sort of bite with a white head

Solution/result: Purification directly on bump. Brought out the pus, and then disappeared the following day.

Issue: Heartburn

Solution/result: Digize, Drop directly on the tongue in one case. The other time: mixed with carrier, and rolled onto chest over esophagus 

Issue: Tired, unfocussed, not ready to wake up

Solution/result: diffused 2 drops peppermint, 3 drops Cedarwood, 3 drops Lemon. Resulting in clarity and focus, and a clear nasal passage. 

Issue: After several days of eating foods not usually tolerated by this person, severe inflammation caused the middle finger to only be able to bend approximately 45 degrees.

Solution/result: finger over the hole of the bottle of PanAway, tipped over once (so, less than one drop of the oil), applied to the affected finger. Within 10 minutes, not only could the finger bend, but “twinkle star” fingers could be done. 

An extra discovery: 1 or 2 drops in a cup or 2 of water in the morning, followed by my usual cup of coffee, (which is delicious with a drop of peppermint in it) really shows an extra boost of support in digestion – even if digestion isn’t usually an issue. 

Of course every human is different, but that’s what fascinates me. I loved discovering what people (including many sceptics) had experienced.
