My Battle With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

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.

This may need to come with a warning, so here it is. I am very honest and open about my history with PCOS or Polycystic ovary syndrome, because I believe truth has the power to change lives, the truth of these oils have changed mine.

I have battled with irregular periods, mood swings, weight gain, episodes of random bleeding and pain from cysts pretty much all of my adult life. I was using herbal supplements and progesterone cream, organic from yams, for about 6 months when they stopped being effective.

I went to a OBGYN and from the ultrasounds she diagnosed me with PCOS. I was then prescribed medications with dangerous side effects that would not actually treat the issue but try to control the symptoms. I chose to not take them and continue to look for a real treatment. My cycles became even more erratic. I had periods of bleeding that lasted for weeks. I had pain in both ovaries from the cysts.

About 8 months ago I started to bleed heavily every day, all the time. We linked it to meat and dairy products so I changed my diet and went completely vegan. I lost 30 pounds (and counting). After a month the bleeding was minimal but would be heavy on days that I exercised or had relations with my hubby. More herbs and cream, minimal results.

After having severe pain in my left ovary with heavy bleeding for three days I broke down at the bidding of my husband went to another OBGYN (the last one told me if I did not take the pill she would drop me from her care). More ultrasounds, external and internal showed that I had multiple small cysts on both ovaries, that my ovaries were enlarged, and that the lining of my uterus was more than 1 cm thicker that it should be.

They suspected that I might have a fibroid but the ultrasound showed it was all clear, none of the cysts were bleeding or seemed to be close to rupture. The tech even checked to see if there was an extra blood supply in there feeding anything. They still could not tell why I was bleeding.

Again all my labs were normal. I was offered medications again, my doctor was kind and understanding when I refused. She also said she wanted to lay out a few surgical options that quite frankly scared the crap out of me.

She said they did not know what was going on, but with exploratory surgery they might have more answers. I went home to think and pray and talk with my husband. We chose to wait as the bleeding was not as bad as it was in the past and most days I was doing okay.

When a sweet friend posted on her Facebook page about essential oils I jumped on it as I had nothing to lose. I ordered the 9 oils starter kit and Progessence Plus. Day 1 and 2 of using the oils I felt both ovaries throbbing and started to bleed heavily. I was passing a lot of fibrous tissue similar to when I had a cyst rupture.

Then the next couple of days the bleeding became lighter until a week later I was free from bleeding! This is for the first time in 8 months! I have continued to use the oils every day, Progessence Plus, Frankincense, and the Valor oil blend, especially on my inner arms and over my ovaries.

I had a moment about 2 weeks ago, where I had a really hard day. I couldn't sleep so I watched a video a friend recommended on you tube. It was of a couple announcing to their family that they were pregnant.

Within minutes I was crying and then I started to have very sharp pain in my left ovary with bleeding. I knew I had to calm down (in times of great stress, anxiety or sadness I would bleed more as it all seemed to be connected with my hormones).

I put on praise music, the Joy oil blend on my wrists, the Peace & Calming oil blend on my heart, Frankincense over the ovary. Within 3 minutes not only was the pain and bleeding gone, but so was the urge to curl up in a ball and sob in self pity. I was impressed at how fast it worked.

A week later I ovulated, and now almost 2 weeks after that I am having my first real period in almost a year. I have passed a lot of the excess uterine tissue, I had a twinge of ovarian pain that a drop of Frankincense swiftly stopped.

I usually have at least a migraine headache a week but have only had one this month, and it was from a red food dye. I realize that my body's process has only just begun! I will continue sharing as I progress.

Blessings

Update - It has been a week since I have written this testimonial. I was a bit hesitant about being so confident in the way these oils have helped me. But I was encouraged by very dear friends to share in faith with a few people my story. I am so happy to say that all is still well, after a week long period the bleeding stopped and my body is continuing on with the process. I would love to hear from and share with anyone who has questions!
