Ancient Oils for Natural Healing

By Guest Blogger Catherine Frye

I’ve always been a very active person. Conventionally healthy, mother of two girls, involved in everything – at least until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis two years ago. It was devastating news, made worse when I learned that my kidneys wouldn’t tolerate the ibuprofen that is commonly prescribed to fight inflammatory diseases. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. My doctors immediately put me on several medications, and I spent months in a medicine fog. It was so bad that I don’t remember Thanksgiving of that year.

I vowed to get off all the medicine and find a natural approach to my health and wellness. I tried acupuncture and acupressure, chiropractic treatment, supplements, late night TV cures, and even surgery. But I wanted something that I could incorporate into my everyday life. I researched many different alternatives and the treatment that I kept seeing over and over was Essential Oils. It wasn’t just RA that I was finding help for, either – there was something for my youngest daughter’s focus, and my teenagers hormones, and even my husband’s snoring. I’m not super crunchy – I will even admit to eating the occasional meal from McDonald’s! – and was really skeptical of the effectiveness of essential oils, but I found myself quite literally at the end of my rope regarding my RA, and was willing to try anything.

I started using oils in April and haven’t looked back since. Not only have we had life changing success with my RA symptoms and my daughter’s focus issues, but have also had success with cutting down the life of colds, adding energy, improving menstrual issues, alleviating stress, removing moles, calming nerves, suppressing allergy symptoms and so much more. There are 170 common ailments treatable with essential oils, and over 300 remedies you can make in your own home. My husband, kids, friends, and even my animals are benefiting from a more natural and cost effective way of treatment. I’ve expanded my collection of oils and love learning about their endless capabilities every single day.

It’s a running joke at our house, listening to a prescription medicine ad on television and trying to decide if the side effects are worth the treatment. With essential oils, I don’t have to worry about a laundry list of side effects. They don’t build up in our bodies, we don’t become resistant to them, and we don’t have to worry about growing a third eye.

There were many different qualities of EO’s when I began looking into them. Through research, I learned that I needed a Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil so I could take advantage of their medicine qualities and purity. In addition to diffusing these oils, we drink them in our water, use them on our skin, take capsules daily, clean our house with them and even use them on my dogs and horses. This is not true for all Essential Oils, so don’t run out to the grocery store and buy EO’s to begin using them in this way. Just like any other product, quality matters.

That is why I chose Young Living Essential Oils. They use a Seed to Seal guarantee and they own all the farms where the plants are grown. In addition, no pesticides or herbicides are used. Actually, they use the Essential oils to control bugs and weeds on their farms. I know that every bottle contains 100% pure and natural therapeutic grade oil. They do not add any synthetic materials, for example it takes 27 sq. feet of lavender to make one 15 ml bottle. That’s incredible. Nothing else is added! In addition, when a plant is out of season that particular oil goes out of stock. Makes sense, so how do these other companies continue to supply seasonal oils all year long?

As I watched people’s lives change on a daily basis through the use of Young Living’s Essential Oils, it inspired me to become a distributor. I definitely wanted to be a part of what these oils were doing for people’s health and wellness. I remember my friend saying, “Give these EO’s a try, they won’t hurt you, the only thing they can do is help you. What do you have to lose?”

I feel like I’ve stumbled upon an ancient treasure, and the impact they have had on our family has been a true gift. I’m thankful to be able to share what I’m learning with others, and watch how essential oils help heal homes, naturally!

  1. Love essential oils, and totally agree that folks should educate themselves on their use! I use them every day, and have seen my family benefit from them. Thanks for the blog!

  2. My sister got me started on Young Living Oils and my life has changed! Can’t say enough good things about them.

  3. Great post! I have been hearing more about Essentials Oils everyday. Seems like whereever I turn, there is someone else trying some Oil for a more natural way of living. I love it! I do think every person is different and we have to look at all options for whatever reason. About a year ago, we used an oil that a family member had and it severely burn my daughter’s skin. She had a reaction due to the oil and the heat of the day. Her skin actually burned in the entire area where the oil touched her. She is TOTALLY fine now and it all healed in given time, just something to remember. Also, as much as I hear people talking about not wanting to take medications, I am one that LOVES medications!! My son would not be alive today were it not the the doctors and researchers who work to discover the drugs and perfect the drugs for many diseases. Sometimes, there are chemical needs in which our bodies can benefit from drugs! And, honestly I LOVE Ibuprofen! Oh, and Bourbon! 🙂
    Looking forward to trying more Essential Oils!

    1. Your daughter is a perfect example as to why I want to educate people about essential oils. There is a huge difference/quality in Essential Oils. This is why I choose Therapeutic Grade Oils.(this does not include Organic EO’s) Therapeutic Grade Oils can be used to help people topically, internally, and aromatically. Even the Therapeutic Oils should be Diluted when used on children and adults. This is why I choose Young Living Oils. I did the research, plus there is a team of people to help you learn to use them correctly and safely.

      I completely agree that there are some amazing medicines to help individuals. I suggest that people talk to their doctor before changing any of your health care needs and to make sure the oils work with any medication you are taking. I use my oils in addition to Enbrel each week for my RA.

      Thank you for your comment. I am glad to hear you are looking forward to using oils!
