What Essential Oils does Alterna-Mom Use?

I have been asked several times lately which essential oils I use with my family. I only trust and use Young Living Essential Oils because I know how they are planted, farmed, harvested, and steam distilled... They are FDA approved for internal consumption and my little ones benefit from diffusing and topical application as well, which is the easiest way to reap the benefits of therapeutic/food grade essential oils.

We have used essential oils to address a wide variety of issues including (but not limited to):

• autism
• anxiety
• nutritional support
• sleep issues
• ring worm
• kidney stones
• poison ivy
• flu and cold
• pink eye
• wound care
• constipation
• academic support
• liver support
• immune enhancement
• melt downs
• and many many more!!!!

More than I Bargained For

I know I promised an update with the coke and oil cleanse.... I have been contemplating how to put it delicately. Delicately? Well, if I am going to keep it delicate, I must keep it brief...

I am passing stones; tiny sand like particles... even still!

I drank 48 ounces of water with 4 drops of lemon and 4 drops of grapefruit YL essential oils before bed the night before... when I woke up, I had an explosive bowel movement. I didn't feel sick, in fact, I felt great!!

I drank the soda between 8:30-10:30am, then didn't eat anything other than the oil and water mixture til 3:00pm when I had a cup of soup... I just wasn't hungry. Drinking all that soda was nasty... so I kept drinking the water and oil with the intent of flushing the soda out of my body. At 7:00pm I passed more than stones... I don't know how, why or when... in fact, I didn't know THAT could come out of THAT... pretty sure I need to take a sample to the doc and talk with him about my discovery.

Yesterday, I ate less than usual, but continued to drink lots of water with the oils... and I passed more of what alarmed me the night before... Got way more than I bargained for with that cleanse... not sure if it was the coke, the oils or a combination... but something got something moving...

I am grateful I decided to do this cleanse.... knowledge is power!!

Kidney Stone, Coke and Oil

My breakfast this morning consists of:

12 cans of coke

1 bunch of aspargus

distilled water

Burp!!

This is what I am doing this morning... Dissolving Kidney Stone with Coke for those of you who know me well, know I haven't drank pop in 12 years!! (this is not fun, burp!!)

I am going to follow it up with a 30 day cleanse with Young Living Lemon and Grapefruit Essential Oils. In fact, last night I took 4 drops of each to pave the way for this mornings yummy recipe (sarcasm)... and let me just say, "I know something cleansed from the urinary track."

For those of you who don't know this: I have had chronic kidney stones since last February and you can read more here here and here .

Oh, and I also have a bottle of Eucalyptus Blue Oil on hand just in case this gets painful. And you can read how that is significant to this whole adventure here.

Bottoms Up!!

Stop Exposing Me

Dear Lobby,

I cannot take it anymore. I despise you for exposing me to all kinds of illnesses… and more so, that you expose my children!! We wait in you for autism therapy (speech, OT, PT & Social skills).... but so do the patients there for lab and chest x-rays.

I even said something once to the ‘suits’ doing an inspection on you… they smiled and shrugged me off.

Oh, once I also told the receptionist (when calling off sick) that I know I picked something up from you… and she said, “I bet you did.” I retorted, “Well I am going to formally complain, they need to give us a separate waiting area.”

Her reply? “Good luck with that.” (I bet she was holding a sarcasm sign!!)

…But I am serious!!

They make us sit 3-4 times a week in you… you are a tiny space that is mutually shared by others waiting for lab work and chest x-rays. This year I have never been so sick… the flu, colds, coughs, muscle aches, etc. I know I am picking it up from you.

In fact just today, while we were waiting, a mother and her 2 children came in for bi-lateral chest x-rays (confidentiality isn’t too good in you). The mother said to the youngest, “Oh baby, you are going to cough up a lung.” And believe me…it sounded like it!!! His sister wasn’t much better either… so I was relieved to see them go to the far side of you…

UNTIL… she told them to go play. Here they come waddling and coughing… straight at us. They stop to play with a toy right at our feet. I mumble to my daughter, “Maybe WE should go get a face mask!” I squirm and the mother calls them back.

Inside I feel bad, I know the waiting arrangements are not her fault… but I am pissed that week after week; day after day… we have to sit here with really sick kids waiting for lab work!! I am sure the mother sees my discomfort and she goes up to the registration desk and asks for a face mask… but just one. Never mind you the other child is hacking too!!

Her child starts to scream… I feel bad. I try to make eye contact to show empathy and she is obviously avoiding me. I shouldn’t feel bad; I am tired of being exposed to all of these germs. I never bought into the germ theory until this past winter…

The child screams some more… I look over with another look of empathy and am met with glaring eyes. The children hack some more and the receptionist comes out to give the mom some paper work and says, “Man, they are really really sick…” I cringe more… I know they have a right to be here, but do I have to have my immune system and that of my children attacked too?

All I want is to bring my children to therapy without having to be exposed to whooping cough, the flu and the like. I want to reclaim my health…

Sincerely,

Alterna-Mom

P.S. I forgot… You might consider yourself warned… I ordered THIS and I am bringing it with me next week… I will be spraying you, your chairs and toys. Robbers successfully used these oils to protect themselves while they robbed the plague victims…. Are you up to the challenge? I have let my friends know about this arsenal and told them to reference my number 1183617 … so the other lobbies will know it came from me. Good Luck!!

Psst... Guess What??

I have a new love interest...

Yup, It's true and it all started this past summer.

I was passing another kidney stone while at Mamapalooza Columbus. I had taken Percocet the night before with no relief. After a sleepless night, I told hubby (as a committee coordinator) I was going to the festival regardless of the pain or not… besides being up and moving was the best way to get this stone to pass naturally.

At the festival, the stone caused a constant dull pain with moments of sharp jabs. I walked around with my hand on my side… I think 2 people (including a MD) asked if I was pregnant. (**shakes head**) The MD advised me how to clean up my diet to prevent more stones, but that wasn’t going to rid the pain I had in the moment.

I happened to stop at the essential oils booth and was talking about autism (Of course!). I found out they had an autism protocol… completely skeptical, I kindly took some info and walked on. However, If you know me, you know that I am inquisitive… so as the day went on I went back to this booth numerous times to ask questions about this “autism protocol”.

Finally, early afternoon, the girl at the booth asked if I was okay… I nonchalantly said, “You don’t happen to have anything for kidney stone pain, do you?” She gave me a smile and said, “Let’s find out.” She pulled out this huge reference guide to Young Living’s Essential Oils and was flipping through the pages…

“Here try this… Eucalyptus Blue.”

I put 1 drop where my pain was, talked to her briefly some more about the business side of the company… and moved on. About 15 minutes later I was chatting with another vendor who complimented me on how good I smelled… I chuckled and pointed to the oils booth and said, “It is an oil from their booth. Apparently Eucalyptus is supposed to help with kidney stone pain………Holy Shit… My pain is completely gone!!” Why is this so amazing... read this, this and this about my chronic kidney stones.

TRUE STORY!!

… and that is how I found out about Young Living’s Medical Grade Essential Oils.

Since then I have tried other oils with amazingly similar results.

Eucalyptus Blue… 1 drop continues to eliminate the pain the comes with my chronic kidney stones. However, this weekend I applied some with olive oil on my daughter’s chest and back and within minutes her croupy cough subsided and she was sound asleep for the first time in 2 weeks.

Thieves… Said to have anti-viral, antiseptic properties... Weber State University (Ogden, UT – 1997) studies showed anti-bacterial effectiveness against airborne microorganisms. Like I said, my daughter has been pretty sick for the past 2 weeks; fever, croupy cough, aches, pains, ear ache, etc. After 3 applications of thieves on her feet, she was up and walking about… slowly, but was up nonetheless. Oh, and this morning I ran out of laundry soap… we already had those magnets you can put in your washer, so I used those with a drop of the Thieves oil and ‘wa-la’… clean nice smelling clothes without the use of harsh chemicals. Have to love it!!

Peppermint… We have used for indigestion, muscle pain after falling on the ice, and for mental alertness.

Lavender… 1 drop on a cotton ball put in our daughter’s bedroom and she is asleep within 30 minutes. This is our ASD child that has had chronic sleep issues since birth!! We have also used this one for muscle aches and ear aches.

Peace and Calming… 1 drop on a cotton ball in the Master Bedroom melts away the stress of the day for myself and hubby. Have also used this over the liver (Blue Tansy is said to cleanse the liver.)

Valor… A few drops mixed with olive oil rubbed along the spine is fantastic… they don’t call it a chiropractor in a bottle for nothing… love love love this one. I have also used this one for grounding myself before reiki sessions and for self-confidence building for myself and children.

So, these are the testimonies I have so far in my own household… I plan to document more on this blog as we explore more. In fact, I am so excited about the outcomes that I have signed up to be a distributor… but be sure that that isn’t because I am looking for a quick buck… this product line is exceptional and meets my standards and ethics.

Oh, and about that autism protocol… I haven’t done anything with it yet, but am still looking into it. One of my concerns was that Sahara doesn’t like to get wet (sensory issues), but I have found that putting the oil on a cotton ball or on her feet works well. I am going to a class this week to hear a mom talk about what oils she used successfully with her ASD child… I will let you know what I find out on another post.
