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.


After giving birth I fell into severe depression for several months. It was real bad. My hormones were so out of whack, it was scary. Worse of all, I didn't understand what was going on at that time. I just knew what I was experiencing.

Years later I learned more, and that the OmegaGize, essential fatty acids (omega 3,6,9) would have helped tremendously.

But what I did do at the time was talk with another oiler/health practitioner. She recommended that I use the Magnify Your Purpose oil blend four times a day internally and topically for as long as I needed to.

I used empty veggie caps to put the oil in, then took internally four times a day. I put the oil on my chest, wrists, and belly. Within just a couple weeks I noticed a significant improvement.

I also was using other oils throughout that time, especially oils I was drawn to. I took time to experience them and at the same time, I took time to relax. The oils were the roadway OUT of severe postpartum depression. It took a while to get fully on track.

Consistently drinking the NingXia Red juice helped tremendously as well.
