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 in the beginning phase of a cleanse. I was in my sponsors office, when I started getting pains through out my body. Spasm/cramping/numbness in my back, sides arm and in my left part of my chest.
It was kind of like when you are out in extremely cold weather and your neck stiffens up and you can't get it to quit spasming until you get warm again.
It was taking my breath away. My sponsor thought it might have something to do with stones and thinking of half Lemon and half Frankincense drops in a capsule. So instead she gave me Cypress and Idaho Balsam Fir and I rubbed several drops of each in my hand and then on the spots that were giving me problems.
It lessened it but I was still afraid to try and drive home thinking I would cramp up and jeopardize my ability to drive.
She then mixed the PanAway oil blend and Lavender oil, applied them on the same spots and I inhaled them and that seemed provide relief. I had the same trouble the night before and woke up frequently. The night after this oiling I didn't have any problems at all with sleeping.
It was pretty scary to be in the kind of pain that takes your breath away and it just shows how amazing and medicinal these oils are.
