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.
Even though I have a very good, clean diet and am an exercise enthusiast, inflammation was making my cholesterol numbers quite high. This went on for many years and continued even after adjusting my diet - going gluten free, sugar free, etc.
I realized that adding Lemongrass essential oil to my water every day could make a difference. Just adding a couple of drops of Lemongrass resolved my cholesterol issues after a few short months. I was amazed at the outcome of my blood tests, which showed a 25-point drop in my cholesterol levels and no more high inflammation markers!
I love the taste of Lemongrass added to my water and am so happy to have found a safe, natural alternative to prescription meds.
