WELCOME and THANK YOU for joining me on the GRAND OPENING of my essentially you. site. I am excited to share with you some DIY recipes, information, and tips on becoming a healthier you.
Let me tell you how the idea of essentially you. became a reality. I was diagnosed a few years ago with cluster migraines. I would get them when the weather shifts drastically from season to season and when allergy season kicks in. Living in Southern Indiana, this happens often! So my doctor prescribed me some medication that I take at the onset of a migraine with the idea it will prevent the migraine from getting worse. I am allowed 9 pills a month and they are roughly $64 per pill with my insurance. After two tries and no relief (I actually think they made them worse) I was hopping on the Internet to look into other options.
I came across a pin on Pinterest about Peppermint Essential Oils helping with headaches. I somewhat dismissed it and went about life since it was the end of my migraine season. As we approached Spring, my husband and I were out shopping and I came across a display of Essential Oils. I saw the Peppermint was on sale and figured it was cheaper than my medication that didn't work so why not. Then the waiting period came and I finally got my first migraine coming on. I go get my Peppermint Oil and put a drop behind each ear and one on the nape of my neck. Within 3 minutes my headache was going away and I had a wonderful cooling sensation on my head! It was a win/win situation in my book. The next headache came a few days later and I had the same results.
I then decided that I wanted to try another oil and I chose to do the Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint blended together which is the Zyrtec replacement. This worked wonderfully and there was another medication to cross off my list. At this point I was so excited that I am saving extra money and feeling better all around. I made the decision right then and there that I was going chemical free in my house. After more research I learned that even though some companies advertise that they are 100% Essential Oils, they are not! I came across Young Living Essential Oils which are therapeutic grade oils. These are the top shelf in the oil community. They are so pure you can ingest them and the other companies I looked at advise you not to ingest them at all and that you actually need to call poison control if you do. I became an Independent Consultant immediately and now use my Young Living Oils on a daily basis.
That's where the essentially you. idea came about. I wanted to help everyone I knew become a healthier version of themselves and to save money by ditching the drug store and reaching instead for something that the good Lord gave us. The essentially you. line is all natural, hand crafted, quality products for you and your home! I am so blessed to be able to share them with the rest of you, and cannot thank my friends and family enough for helping me on my journey!
