What A Difference You've Made in My Life




I'm sure you've heard the song "What A Difference You've Made in My Life" made popular by Ronnie Milsap (awesome singer, BTW). I for one cannot believe the difference that Young Living Essential Oils has made in our lives in such a short period of time.

My husband suffers from 6 herniated disks in his lower back. He has Degenerative Disk Disease and Arthritis throughout his spine. He has been on a slew of medication for years and he has had a surgery to relieve a ruptured bursa on his hip and spinal decompression to relieve some of the pressure as the disks are pinching his nerves.

These things have helped to an extant; however, he remains unable to work and they are debating on doing surgery on his back. The problem with that is the surgeon said he will lose 50% of his mobility, but may only lose 50% of his pain. Not great odds.

My husband is a skeptic to say the least. He was weary when I first introduced him to the essential oils. I can't really blame him, we are trained that over the counter or prescription medication is the only things that can relieve our symptoms.

I figured that in order to win him over the "proof" would have to be in the pudding! So I asked him if I could rub Pan Away on his hips and lower back. You see he fell recently because his hips have been giving out on him. He has bruised his foot.



I didn't pressure and just simply asked him to let me know if he noticed a difference. The next day he came out to me and asked if I could rub it on him again! Score! I knew that I had won him to the "dark side" of oils! hahaha

I started rubbing a combination of 3 drops of Pan Away, 2 drops of Valor and 2 drops of Peppermint. He now says that he wouldn't want to live a day without them. I better reorder soon. I didn't expect he'd love them that much!
