PAIN
Everyone will experience PAIN. 50 % of ER visits are PAIN related. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic PAIN. PAIN costs $600 billion a year in medical treatments and lost productivity.
The purpose of pain is to warn you of impending injury, or injury that has already occurred.

Essential Oils are a 100% Natural way to care for our health. Essential Oils have been used for their medicinal benefits throughout history including in ancient Egypt and China. Essential Oils have similar properties and benefits as many synthetic medications (in fact many medications are copies of certain compounds in plants or essential oils). Essential Oils have NO side effects. (The synthetic drugs that copy essential oils are not perfect copies and therefore have side effects). 27

Suzanne I was diagnosed with tension headaches about 12 years ago. Some days my headaches aren't too bad but sometimes I can be down for a couple of days with nausea and severe pain. A couple years ago it got pretty bad. I had more bad days than good days in a month. So my doctor put me on 5 different prescriptions. Ambien for sleep, a narcotic for pain, a muscle relaxant, an anti-seizure medicine, and an anti-inflammatory. It worked great for awhile until my body built up a tolerance to it and I needed to increase my dosages and go to the Ambien XR. 10 times more expensive!! I finally realized that I didn't want to be doing this for the rest of my life. Fortunately that was when I was introduced to essential oils. I am no longer on any of those prescriptions. I sleep at night thanks to Vetiver. Deep Blue, Peppermint, Marjoram, and Frankincense all help with the pain, tension, and inflammation. LLV is amazing as well! I don't like the smell of Past Tense so I don't use it on my head. I do use it on my muscle aches though That's my story on pain and inflammation.
Frequency Matters Dr. Hills recommendation: Life Long Vitality Appropriate Cleanses (GX Assist and PB Assist) Identify and eliminate triggers Consistency is the key to efficacy If you are not getting the results you want, try something else or a combination of essential oils.
