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 have had chronic urinary tract infections for the majority of my life, off and on at times. In the past 4 years they have been frequent!
There is always a quick onset. Literally once I would urinate, I could tell that it would be only getting worse with burning, and I would go down quickly with fever, pain, and an immediate need for antibiotics. This has happened so often that my urologist finally said to take Macrobid antibiotic immediately whenever I would feel discomfort.
I have always followed good hygiene and have drunk plenty of water. In fact, any more water and I would float away! I was finding myself taking antibiotics monthly and then having problems with side effects from this.
I had finally found Young Living essential oils through my reflexologist. Since then I have been using a few drops of each of the Purification essential oil blend directly on my abdomen whenever I feel discomfort, followed by the Thieves essential oil blend.
I can say that for 3 months I have been able to avoid the less desirable alternatives of the past, and I have never felt better! In fact, I recently got the flu, and normally I would have gotten a bladder infection too. But I did not and am thrilled to tell my story!
Essential oils have changed my life. Thank you Young Living!
