Those of you that have or have experienced reflux know what I mean when I say NOTHING gets you sitting upright in bed faster than stomach acid coming out of your nose! (sorry…)
About 2am this morning I bolted upright struggling to breathe. My nose was runny and everything inside my head was burning. While I’ve had a migraine for a couple days with nausea and dizziness (weather?), this came as a complete surprise!
Once I calmed down and started breathing regularly, I drank some water to ease my burning throat. I haven’t had an episode this bad in over a year, thankfully, and it usually means I’m upright for the rest of the night.
Not this time…I rubbed 4 drops of Digize on my stomach and lower esophagus area and waited a few minutes. I sipped more water and used a saline spray for my nose & sinuses, which were still burning so much my eyes were watery! I was exhausted and feeling dizzy so I laid back down fully prepared to need to raise my head and try to sleep on my back 🤪 (side sleepers unite!) I woke up at 7am!
I don’t know about you, but these ‘things’ that happen with our bodies can sometimes drive me crazy! I used to be on so much medication and took more pills than my 80 year old mom. Now, I’m down to 2 regular prescriptions and 1 as needed. I don’t take an RX for reflux anymore because I’ve controlled it mostly through changes in my diet and using essential oils. That’s good since I was on the one recently recalled…for over 10 years! 😳
5 years ago I was the biggest skeptic about natural remedies and especially the use of essential oils for better health and wellness. Today, it’s what I reach for first, it’s what I offer to and tell my family and friends to use, and it has truly changed how I feel and how I live my life! It takes trial and error to find what works and to find what helps. Everyone reacts differently and what works for one may not work for another. Thankfully, there are many choices in our essential oils and many uses to help us feel better and live healthier lives. There will be illness, that is a fact of everyone’s life. It takes consistent and daily use to equip our bodies to fight back against things that cause disruption in our health so that those times of not feeling our best occur less often.
Everyday it seems there is another news report or article about another medication causing side effects or another synthetic chemical being used that has made it’s way into our food. I, for one, am glad to have found a way to help me live a healthier life from a company that cares about the environment and our future wellness. Plants grown organically from non-gmo seeds or sourced from companies that have repeatedly tested to do the same. Nothing synthetic, nothing artificial, and grown/harvested sustainably while helping local companies and cultures thrive across the globe! There is no company that can compare and no essential oil with the full beneficial plant constituents as Young Living. I stake my health on that!
