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 began suffering with allergies and sinus problems in my early twenties and eventually developed asthma.

During an approximate 30 year time period, these health problems got increasingly worse. I took allergy shots which didn't help. Cortisone injections that left me with a small bump on my neck and many excess pounds.

By the time I was introduced to Young Living, I was taking twice a day asthma medication, injections every couple of months when it would get really bad and oral sprays for emergencies when I couldn't get to a doctor fast enough. Doctors told me that I would have to be on asthma medication for the rest of my life!

Well, I am so happy to say that now at 54 years of age, I am on no medication whatsoever! What helped me was doing three sets of cleansing with the Cleansing Trio and experimenting with many different oils. The ones I found most helpful were Frankincense oil and the RC and Raven oil blends. I also diffused these oils in my bedroom every day for a couple of months.

I really watched my diet as I was going through this period. I would like to say here, that I did get worse before I got better. I almost gave up on the oils and supplements but my upline encouraged me to stay with it and thank God I did.

It is very freeing and emotionally uplifting to be off all medications. I hope this is of help to someone suffering with these health problems.
