What is YOUR favorite Essential Oil?

3423I have been experimenting with my Young Living Essential Oils the last few weeks and have a few victories to share!

Always the skeptic, I have to see to believe, the proverbial Doubting Thomas, or Doubting Nannette in this case. But even though I know that Believing is Not Necessarily Seeing in the spiritual, for me and EO’s, I must have proof!

A couple of weeks ago, preparing family Easter dinner, I burned my finger on a pan while retrieving it from the oven. It did not feel good. I tried running it under cold water but couldn’t stand there all day waiting on it to feel better. I whined around a few minutes and then, finally, remembered my Essential Oils. I grabbed Lavender, good for so many hundreds of uses and minor burns and applied it directly to my finger. If I had counted, I would say I made it to about ten or fifteen and the pain was gone! I was shocked, to say the least. I have witnesses (smile).

Then last week The Sweetheart came down with a cold. He insists on having a couple each season it seems. His throat was sore and he was very congested and stopped up. Instead of listening to him complain I grabbed my oils and went to work. I applied Thieves to his throat (I love Thieves! It smells so good and does so many great things!) and layered Frankincense and Lemon on his chest. He commented that his throat felt better immediately and he certainly could breathe better. What?! You mean they actually work, even on skeptics.

And finally, for now, tooth pain. I have lived with way too much pain lately with different teeth, dentists visits and the very unpopular root canal. I have had a couple of broken teeth that have caused me much distress. I applied Thieves directly to my tooth with a cotton swab and to my gums. The taste isn’t so pleasant but it certainly numbs the area and brings quick relief! Cloves is also known to work great for tooth pain but I did not have any of that. Thieves contains cloves, rosemary, eucalyptus, cinnamon and lemon so it worked great for me!

Yes, and I am finding more and more uses for them in my daily life. I love to diffuse so many of them throughout the day, especially Peace and Calming, Purification and Joy blends and of course Thieves!

 Here are some of the benefits and uses of Thieves:

Thieves® essential oil blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals they used while robbing the dead and dying. Young Living’s one-of-a-kind Thieves blend, crafted in the spirit of that legendary combination, can be found in all of our Thieves products. When taken internally, Thieves supports healthy immune function*, and it includes Eucalyptus radiata essential oil, which may help maintain a healthy respiratory system.* When taken as a dietary supplement, Thieves is an ideal complement to a daily wellness regimen.*

  • Put a few drops of Thieves essential oil blend in a capsule and swallow with water to support your immune system
  • Put in a few drops of Thieves essential oil blend in your dishwater or dishwasher to thoroughly clean dishes and eliminate odor
  • Rub a drop or two mixed with a carrier oil all over your gums to support gum health.
  • Dilute 2 to 6 drops of Thieves oil 50/50 with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil) and rub on your chest and upper neck.
  • Diffuse, diffuse, diffuse!
  • Make your own hand soap with a couple of drops of Thieves and you have your own Antibacterial Soap!
  • Rubbing it on the bottom of your feet helps it get into the bloodstream quickly.
  • Add it to your oil pulling regimen to get rid of harmful bacteria.
  • Treats canker sores, can balance blood sugar, heal skin infections, internal and topical antibiotic, can treat digestive candida, kill mold and mildew, helps the healing process of colds and flu, kills airborne germs and much, much more!

    I felt the same way Nicki! I had heard that Peppermint was good for restless leg and I would love to get off my meds for that…The starter kit with Young Living was cheaper than buying a few oils so I jumped in. I am learning and last night I tried Pan Away on the back of my neck for stiff neck…oh my word! This was amazing, it might rate up there with my love for Thieves, lol. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your comment. ♥

    I am so not someone who gets excited over essential oils, or plans to own a bunch anytime in my future. 🙂 But I can tell you that when I get a migraine that just doesn’t find relief from conventional treatments, a little peppermint oil mixed in with my favorite lotion, rubbed on my neck and shoulders does wonders!

    Wonderful testimony Cheryl!! So glad you shared that about the Thieves on the inside of the cheek. I will probably have The Sweetheart give that a try, his has resurfaced, he has the worst time with the common cold. 🙁 So good to “see” you today. Always a blessing ♥

    We just recently got into the oils, too, and we have been learning firsthand of their wonders! Oh, my, without a doubt, our favorite is Thieves!!!! Last winter, I had so much trouble with the pneumonia and such a depleted immune system and SO much illness. Thank the dear Lord, a dear friend led us to the oils, and I got started on them this winter. I can honestly say that after we started using the oils, I did not get sick…not even one time, praise God! I have a tip for you on the sore throat issue that we have used MANY times. Every time one of us even gets a twinge of a sore or raspy/scratchy throat now, we grab the Thieves. We rub some on the inside of our cheek…the instructions we read were that you can do this every minute for up to ten minutes, then slow down to once per hour until the sore throat is gone. What we have found is that it only takes one, two, or at the most three times of doing this, and the throat issue is GONE, in Jesus’ name!!!! It has been so wonderful to find this remedy. The constant trickling of the oil down the throat just really heals whatever is wrong. We also apply the oils, prayerfully, and all glory goes to God. 🙂
