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.
There's nothing like having your breath taken away...but only if it's whimsical and romantic. However, if it is sudden and unwelcome it can be a pain. "Pain in my neck" is exactly how I would describe the uncomfortable feeling of not being able to take a full breath or experience a well deserved yawn.
I had approached my doctor about my issue and she had recommended I try some OTC allergy medicine and if that didn't work then we would try a steroid-packed inhaler to rule out the question of asthma.
Instead, I decided to ask a friend I happened to run into while home visiting family about her essential oils. She had suggested trying some Lavender oil to see if it would not only calm my frustration, but also help my breathing.
Sure enough, after rubbing my palms together with a few dabs of Lavender oil, and then cupping my hands around my mouth and nose; taking deep breaths in, I was good as new! I was amazed to see how quick the Lavender oil worked!
I simply let the joys in life take my breath away now, as opposed to the nuisance of an uncured breathing dilemma...and it is all thanks to my friend and her essential oil recommendation!
Thanks!
