What? Oils you say? No, Thank You.

Where were they years ago? I wish I knew than what I know now. Isn't that always the way things work out. I am talking about essential oils.

If I would have known the power of smell... peppermint oil can help nausea. Really? I popped zofran with my twin pregnancy like they were candy. (Well, not really.. one every 8 hours. But the nausea would always come back within 5-6 hours. And than I would be miserable until I could take another.) With my last pregnancy, zofran would only go so far. It would turn into more than just nausea. Just being able to have that little Intel on what I could have done in between pills. I might not even of had to take them.  

I had a friend who asked me if I had ever thought of using essential oils. Oils? Ahh no, I don't do oils. WTH was I thinking? Oils could just be the best thing next to sliced bread! (Well maybe next to coffee, I do have three kids 4 and under right now.. so sleep is soemthing that is totally overrated right now)  Sleep? Yea, there's an oil for that, too. I am only about 7 months into using essential oils. It is a learning proscess as I go. So join me on this journey as I learn to live with oils: Twins Plus One, The Good, The Bad, and The Oily!
