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.


With its historic reputation for soothing burns and promoting relaxation, Young Living Lavender oil has always been a part of my first aid kit. I discovered the truly amazing therapeutic power of sweet and simple Lavandula Augustifolia when I was pregnant with my son.

Early on we became aware of a few potentially serious complications including placenta previa because of a large fibroid tumor that was growing on the outside of my uterus.

I had been using Lavender for years to soothe monthly cramps with great success, so when I went into premature labor with contractions and bleeding at 16 weeks I put this oil to the test.

I put 4 or 5 drops of Lavender directly on my abdomen and rubbed it in well with some pure jojoba oil. After 2 of these applications, the bleeding and contractions stopped within 24 hours. I continued using Lavender on my belly every night after that because the doctors were still very concerned about a premature birth.

With lots of prayer and partial bed rest for five weeks (I was told I could be on FULL bed rest for 5 months!) This did not occur again for the duration of the pregnancy.

Our healthy son safely arrived by C section because my water broke at 36 weeks and he was full breech. He is a content and happy little guy who loves his crib, sleeping 11 or 12 hours through the night since he was 3 months old. Is it genetic or was it the relaxing effect of all that Lavender he got second hand from mama?

The added bonus to slathering myself daily with this skin nourishing oil is that I don't have a single stretch mark anywhere!
