Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I attended the 2014 International Grand Convention during an extended Crohn's flare up. I was experiencing a great amount of nausea, which sometimes persisted all day long, every day.
After trying Peppermint, the DiGize blend, and a few other essential oils over the past year, the best nausea remedy I had to work with was Wintergreen essential oil. So I carried it around with me everywhere during the convention. Unfortunately, I was still nauseous most of the time.
I saw in the Workshop Guide that one of the workshops being offered was entitled "At Ease: Stomach Comfort with Essential Oils." The description mentioned the word "nausea", so I was determined that, if I could only make it to one workshop, that would be the one!
I showed up as nauseous as could be. Boy, was I excited when Dr. Tyler Call, MD, and Marc Schreuder, the company's Vice President of Science, explained how they have tested -- in a major hospital for a year -- a new blend of essential oils on the patients with the worst cases of nausea and vomiting.
When Dr. Call could not get any other meds to work to control a hospital patient's nausea and vomiting, that is when he would break out the "aromatherapy blend". Every time, it worked for his patients!
I was sitting there absolutely ecstatic (and nauseous)! Unfortunately, I could not get my hands on the AromaEase essential oil blend until after the convention.
When I finally picked up my bottles of AromaEase (I ordered multiples, LOL), I wasn't sure how to use this new blend. After trial and error, I figured out what works best for me:
I put my finger over the orifice of the bottle and just get a little bit (less than a full drop) on my fingertip. Then I touch my tongue. I put as little as necessary in my mouth because this stuff is overpowering for the first 30 seconds. I also wipe the residue over my nostrils (breathing it in) and over my tummy area (or wherever I feel my digestive system could use it).
I have noticed that AromaEase works within about 5 to 10 minutes. The first time I used it, I all of a sudden noticed that my entire stomach/abdomen had relaxed and felt very "comfortable". Not only was the nausea completely GONE, but my tummy felt truly comfortable (a feeling that had been foreign to me for quite some time)! Funny... I could not figure out why they called the workshop "Stomach Comfort" instead of "Nausea", but now I understood!
The AromaEase essential oil blend works very well for my nausea. However, if I have low blood sugar because I need to eat some food, AromaEase will not fix that kind of nausea. We hypoglycemics still need to eat food for a hypoglycemic episode. No way around that!
