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.
When I first found out about Young Living I had used a few essential oils over time but really didn't know much about them or the many ways to use them. But when I got my first ones from Young Living I was really drawn to them, my body just seemed to KNOW they were what it needed!
I heard from other Young Living people that Bergamot was helpful for Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia so I thought I'd give it a try. It began helping me with my aching right away. My body only aches now if I try to do too much or go off my diet, instead of aching almost every day.
I have more energy and it lasts longer. I started out with one drop of Bergamot a day (that was all my body could handle) and have worked my way up to 3 now. And when I do try to do too much it still helps me get through the crashes, which are fewer now, by the way. The longer I take Bergamot the better I feel, but I know I have to take my time and allow the body to heal. And of course I eat very well too. No sugar, white flour, dairy, caffeine, chemicals and additives.
My body seems to be absorbing nutrients better, which is a major win for me. Before I starting using Bergamot my last lab test indicated that my cells were starving and I had many severe deficiencies. Now I'm slowly taking more of some supplements that before my body just wouldn't tolerate.
I've had orthostatic pressure for quite a while and that is improving as is my brain function and memory.
I'm especially thrilled because there's no heavy duty herxheimer reactions with the low dose that I use, so its actually making me feel BETTER during this recovery period.
I have had Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia for almost 40 years and Bergamot is the best single thing I can ever remember using for it. I have used all kinds of natural supplements. I was to the point where I was getting kind of hopeless at finding anything that would make me feel better because my body was unable to handle so many supplements, and to find one thing that does so much is really like a miracle! I'm so thankful and I really hope this can help other people!
