Formulated Question:
Do the 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils from doTERRA really work, or are they just good smelling liquid hokum?
Hypothesis:
Essential oil benefits are definitely plausible. This conclusion was arrived upon after gathering copious amounts of information from numerous separate sources; observing empirical results of oil use by others; listening to numerous testimonial stories of the oil effectiveness; and reading documented studies on essential oil health benefits. Also the historical use of oils is quite vibrant, and spans centuries.
Prediction:
Result of using the oils will either be a complete epic fail - or an overwhelming success
Test:
This morning I topically applied a citrus blend oil in the manner previously instructed to help alleviate stress, anxiety and elevate mood (things much needed in a life with clinical depression). Note that at the time I was not cognizant of freezing rain weather conditions outside (an extremely rare occurrence in this state).
I then spent 2-hours driving to work on a sheet of ice (normally takes maybe 30-minutes), surrounded by other hapless commuters attempting to obtain the same goal. Taking the bus and allowing another person to brave driving on my behalf is not an option for a plethora of reasons. There were numerous observed accidents and slide-offs the entire length of the journey.
Analysis:
The essential oil citrus blend WORKED!! I felt zero amounts of anxiety while on the road, and none for the rest of the day either!! My mood overall was incredibly peaceful, calm and upbeat. Body and mind reactions to previous similar driving experiences provide indisputable proof to me, that the essential oils used this morning were indeed effective!!
Conclusion:
Today was an unplanned test by fire (thanks to mother nature), and the doTERRA essential oil benefits passed with flying colors! Increases my faith in the stated effectiveness on health and well being their other oils can be in my life!!
Ultimate Goal:
Set aside the man-made synthetic elements (along with all the inherent side-effects) found in prescription anti-depressant medications... and instead make use of the natural elements God has provided for healing and health!!
That's really impressive that using the essential oil helped like it did. I've never tried them, but after reading your testimonial and others over the years, I'm leaning towards trying them as an addition to my other depression/anxiety treatments. Thank you for sharing your experience.
ReplyDeleteWhat a novel idea. Things were put here on earth for a reason? Wow. :) (intense sarcasm).
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. Continue your case study, ruling out placebo effect, and make it official. :)
I, too believe that the answer to most of our problems, mentally especially, is to get back to basics. Rid our lives of chemicals and toxins, live off the earth and use what God has given to us instead of "making" everything ourselves.
Easier said that done, of course but a good idea.
Bravo for getting through those driving conditions AND being able to do that and stay calm. PHARMA would like us to believe and rely on them exclusively but they have an interest which is why they put their funds into research for medications that make them the most money. I think in many cases, we have been provided ways to make ourselves healthy naturally. (I like reading about the Indians and how they used plants and herbs to treat maladies.) I want to run out and buy some oils right now by the way. I think "foods" and our diet can be used too. I have been trying to eat more frequent during the day, small meals with lots of fruit and veggies and I have so much more energy.
ReplyDeleteSo glad doTerra is working for you! We have tried some of their products and I agree that they do seem to work.
