Okay, I have an amazing story!

I've been having a lot of fertility issues in the past 6 months, and my doctor gave me a pill to start my monthly cycle. When my period came yesterday, I was bleeding profusely, dizzy, and nauseous with a pounding headache. I even fainted at work yesterday afternoon and was sent home!

The doctor said that I was severely anemic and needed to rest. He also said that if my period did not lighten up by today, I would need some "intervention".

That sounded pretty scary to me, so I whipped out the essential oils reference book. I chose Lemon and Peppermint oil for anemia and Sage oil for the heavy menstrual bleeding. I applied these topically and in a capsule at 5 pm.

Within 15 minutes I could stand up without that pounding headache, and within 30 minutes the bleeding had gone down to an acceptable amount. I got up every 6 hours and popped a Lemon, Peppermint and Sage capsule and applied more topically.

I feel 95% better and my mom, husband and even my doctor are shocked!
