Quick fix for shoulder and neck pain

Today I woke up feeling crummy.  Sluggish and achy, I dragged myself through my day. By late afternoon, my shoulders felt heavy as lead, and needed to be supported on the arm rests as I drove home in pain.  

Finally, I could take it no more, and did the "math".  I was unusually cold yesterday- tired and achy today.  Realizing that it was likely an infectious agent, we pulled out some essential oils.  Through muscle testing, we decided upon Wild Australian Sandalwood and Carrot Root.  Anointing my head with these oils- just once, mind you, and with only 1 or 2 drops- and several hours later, the tiredness and ache is virtually gone!  I am amazed and delighted.  Once again, we find that at the source of pain is an infectious agent.

Just for insurance, I put another drop of each on my head once more before bed.  Love these oils!


"You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”  Hebrews 1:9 (ESV)

Kidney Stones

What fun; what joy!  Lots of you know just what I mean.  What started out as a pain in my back, intensified  to "let me know" it was there.  What to do?  I needed an answer.  We haven't had insurance in over 20 years, and we must pay out-of-pocket for every doctor visit, so mainstream medicine was out of the question.  Besides, many times the doc doesn't know what's wrong, either, and all he can do is send me out for (costly) tests.  (I think it was $800 for an MRI!-- which found nothing, by the way.  But that's a different story.)

So  I prayed about it.  Sure enough, my mom "just happened" to mention something to her doctor, who "just happened" to mention kidney stones.  What would we do without our moms??

I began treating with essential oils.  Using helichrysum and a blend called Hair Support (of all things!), I applied it to my tailbone thrice daily for about three weeks.  To my surprise and delight, little by little, the pain subsided until it completely disappeared.  Cool.

How did I know which essential oils to use?  Muscle testing.  But that's another blog.

Welcome to my blog!  This is my first post, and I must admit, I'm a little apprehensive to "put it out there"... if you know what I mean.  My take on health for the last 20 years has, of necessity, been a do-it-yourself approach. 


When we lost our insurance due to a job change, I knew that I would need to take on our health care for our growing family.  At the time, our four young sons had the usual problems- earaches, colds, flu.  As our family size grew to include nine children, I have since learned a great deal about health-- and I yearn to share!


May you benefit from our trials and successes!  Let me know how it works for you and yours.
