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 was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) over ten years ago at the young age of 16. I was immediately prescribed birth control pills.
Throughout the years I have experienced many side effects, such as stroke-like symptoms, heart palpitations, migraines, mood swings, and depression. I took the pill for eight years before I decided to stop taking oral contraceptives.
Although I was told that I may never have children, I was blessed with my beautiful son after being off of the pill for 1.5 years.
Then six months ago I started using therapeutic-grade essential oils. This was also around the time when my husband and I knew we wanted to try to have another child.
At the time, my PCOS was the worst that it had ever been! I was not ovulating and had gained weight. Additionally, my right ovary was enlarged with 10 or so cysts, and I was in a lot of pain!
After reading some testimonials at www.Oil-Testimonials.com, I started my own daily regimen. I took 1 to 2 drops of Oregano essential oil and 1 drop of Cinnamon Bark essential oil with olive oil in a vegetable capsule daily.
Also, every night before bed I applied Progessence Plus Serum topically; a drop on each side of my neck over the carotid artery, a drop over each ovary, and a drop on my forearm that I rubbed together with my other forearm. Interestingly enough, I noticed that using Progessence Plus Serum at night helped me to sleep really well.
After only 2 weeks on this regimen, I got pregnant! My doctor was extremely amazed, surprised and also concerned about how my pregnancy would be affected by the PCOS.
He ordered an ultrasound to be done right away, which was weeks before I even had my first prenatal appointment. Much to my surprise, my cysts were completely gone (except for one corpus luteal cyst which caused my pregnancy, not PCOS).
