Essential Oils to Avoid if you are Eplipetic

When it comes to my health I don't play around.  That's why I started using essential oils. When I first started using essential oils, one of the things I researched was were there any essential oils that were going to effect my epilepsy.  I came across a lot of different articles and eventually bought the Essential Oils Desk Reference.  I am always cautious though when it comes to seizures so I found more oils on the internet than what was published in the Essential Oils Desk Reference.  If an oil is in one of my favorite blends such as Thieves, I use it sparingly (I would only do this if your seizures are completely under control but I am not a medical professional so I would ask your doctor first).

 Oils to Avoid If You Have Epilpesy
  1. Borage
  2. Camphor
  3. Eucalyptus Globus

Essential Oils That Are Good For Your Epilepsy/Seizures

If you don't know it by now I have Epilepsy.  I also use essential oils. I have done some research to make sure that I don't use the wrong essential oils that can possibly cause me to have a seizure but also I have looked for essential oils that can help with my seizures.  Now I am not saying these essential oils you can take in place of medication no that would be dangerous! You should always take your seizure medication and follow your doctors orders. What I am saying is that through my experience these essential oils have helped me either stop a seizure from coming on (in stressful situations and lack of sleep situations).  Here is a list of essential oils that you can use to help with seizures (along with your regular seizure medication, of  course). Frankincense - I put this one diluted on my big toe when I feel a seizure coming on, have had extra stress and have a stress headache, or haven't had enough sleep and I feel the effects right away (I always dilute all

Essential Oils for Anxiety

cript async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"> First I want to talk about why I use essential oils for my anxiety.  The first reason why is because I would rather use something natural and good for my body than keep putting more and more medication into my body.  Medication has unwanted side effects and is harmful to the body in many ways.  Medication is also man made.  Essential oils are plants that come from the earth and are natural.  I was so happy when I was introduced to Young living essential oils! Another big reason is both of my parents died of cancer! I am so worried that I will end up with cancer too.  There are so many carcinogens out there that we encounter every day especially in our homes.  They are in our cleaning products, in our soaps, shampoo, candles, air fresheners, plastic containers and other things we use on a daily basis.  I have already started to take most of these out of my life by using Young Living plant based p

Is there an Oil for that? Hiccups?

cript async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"> So this morning I had the hiccups and sometimes when I have them they can last all day. I have even had them last up to 3 days. Then I thought why don't I just try an essential oil. So I looked up which one could work. I tried peppermint on the bottom of my foot with a carrier oil and a few minutes later no hiccups! I have never got rid of hiccups that fast and I have tried everything and I mean everything else. I am so happy! This information is not meant to treat, cure, or prevent anything!
