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.
My Mum, bless her, is 85 years old. She has had a developing scoliosis, (side bend in her spine) for years. Allied to this, Mum had hip pain and a catch in her groin which caused her to limp. For the last 5 or so years, she had been unable to sleep on her sides. Therefore, her sleep was badly affected by being unable to lie on her sides.
She and I decided to do some intensive Raindrop Technique massages to see if we could ease things for her. We managed to organize three sessions within one month, before her annual extended trip to Queensland last year. She had one Raindrop session around 2 months before that also.
After these sessions, I noticed that Mum was straightening up through the shoulders. She gained around 1.5 cm in height and lost most of the annoying catch in her groin. Mum's osteopath commented that her spine was straightening!
I went to the airport to collect Mum last September, around 2 months later. The first thing she exclaimed to me when she saw me was, 'Kez, I can sleep on my sides again!' She said she'd been holding off saying anything so she could tell me in person!
She was very excited! Her sleep has markedly improved and now she comes for regular Raindrop massages.
Mum continues to improve in health. She has reduced her medication for high blood pressure and her thought processes are clearer, as my sisters and I have noticed. She gets regular comments about how well she looks and people don't believe it when she tells them her age.
Even my husband said to me the other day, 'Your Mum looks ten years younger than she did a year ago.'
What a gift it's been to be able to share such a thing as the Young Living oils and Raindrop Technique with my Mum, amongst many others.
