Essential Oils

I've been hearing and seeing about Essential Oils from my mommy friends and celebrities I follow on social media. Young Living is the brand that has been mentioned numerous times. But when I learned of the price, I immediately lost interest. That's too much for me. Hehehe!

One time, I saw my ate's FB and IG post. It was Young Living essential oils and she posted how much she liked them and helped her family well-being. She got the Premium Started Kit. You know how people would talk non stop when they're into a thing? That's her about YL EOs. Because of her constant posting, it got me curious again. 

When my ate visited my baby, one of our conversation went to essential oils. I know she's not into Sales but her testimonials made me think twice of giving these a try. 

I checked for an oil that would help my hyper kid. And that was when I saw articles and recipes for ADHD. To make a long story short, I asked my ate to buy the Vetiver essential oil so I can try if it would work for my firstborn. I cannot order the Premium Starter Kit yet because it is way out of my budget and I don't think my husband would agree to spending a big amount for such.

While waiting for the delivery, I was given some Lavender and Peace and Calming samples. I gave some to son but I don't think it worked. However, I use it while we were inside the car and of course my baby smell it. The effect? Well he was asleep for a long time. I was amazed because I didn't intend on using it on him. He's a light sleeper so his sleep is always interrupted. It got me excited! I might have some hope my son soon!

After a week of waiting, I got my Vetiver and Lavender bottles.

I tried it on my firstborn yesterday and it somehow made him less active. No running for about 2-3 hours and became more attentive. And it was just a drop of Vetiver and Lavendar oil! As for my baby, he got an uninterrupted sleep again last night. I just woke up to feed and he was sleeping the rest of the night. I got a good night too! Before going to school today, I rub the Vetiver and Lavender oil again. I was so anxious! When he got home, I was surprised that he wasn't running on his way inside. I ask him to do a lot of things things too and he did about 80% of it. Without me having to repeat them. 

This is really promising! I want to test it's consistency on him first but I'm close to buying my own kit too so I can start my Essential Oil Journey. I have a lot of recipes I want to try for my family and I'm hoping it will improve our well-being too.
