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.
For three or four days I had noticed a crampy tenderness and soreness on the right side of my lower abdomen. In the beginning, I thought it was probably due to constipation, so I drank more water, took some acidophilus and used some of my oils topically. I also drank a little Peppermint oil in a glass of water. This usually helps, but this time it wasn't going away.
Then I noticed what looked like a little blood in a stool, and I began to get really concerned. I prayed about it. I also felt colder than normal, like I was fighting off something. I added some garlic to my diet, and tried to eat more veggies. That seemed to help me feel a little bit better, but the soreness and tenderness was still there.
I finally remembered that Oregano oil, taken internally had helped many people to get over colds, flu, and other conditions. So I put one drop of Young Living's Oregano oil in a small amount of water. I knew it was going to taste awful and feel very hot in my throat, so I was prepared to follow it quickly with a piece of banana and a little apple juice. (I could have put it into a clear capsule with a little coconut oil or olive oil, which would have helped a lot).
After I did this, I got busy with my chores. Very soon, I would say within the hour, I noticed that the sore, tender feeling in my side had completely disappeared. I had only taken that one drop of Oregano oil, and it never came back! I was so relieved and thankful! These really are essential oils and a true gift from God.
