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.
Over the last 15 to 20 years I have slowly become allergic to certain foods that my body just will no longer tolerate.
My initial symptoms, when eating something that did not agree with me, would be heartburn followed by severe indigestion. Then I would experience bloating and very uncomfortable pain and burning in the upper and lower stomach area.
Now when I have 3 drops of the DiGize oil blend in a capsule up to 20 minutes before a meal, I have none of the above symptoms at all! It is a great comfort to know that I can go out for a meal and not worry about what is hiding in the salad or gravy, or even just the ingredients of the meal itself.
Also, if I have eaten something that doesn't agree with me throughout the day, for whatever reason, it is very comforting to know that I can apply DiGize directly onto my stomach area for almost immediate relief.
Peppermint has also been very handy for indigestion. I just rub a few drops onto my chest area above the stomach for immediate relief. A few burps later, the indigestion is all gone!

The reduction in blood glucose level may be due to the reversible inhibition of alpha-glucosidases present in the brush-border of the small intestinal mucosa, higher rate of glycolysis as envisaged by the higher activity of glucokinase, as one of the key enzymes of glycolysis, and enhanced rate of glycogenesis as evidenced by the higher amount of liver glycogen present after MO administration." | Link |
