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 had the opportunity to be with a friend while she was birthing her twin girls. She was only 29 weeks pregnant when she went into preterm labor and very scared about the outcome. She was in a considerable amount of pain, especially in her back. I was able to use the Lavender oil and focused on her feet, lower back, forehead, and neck between contractions. This really seemed to relax her and helped her stay focused. I witnessed the most amazing thing in my life, a natural birth of two beautiful baby girls. God places us in situations where we least expect to be, but I have been blessed by this experience. Today I see life differently. Thank you, Nate, for introducing me to Young Living Essential Oils. It makes a remarkable impact on this woman's birthing experience.
