Before I began the journey of natural health I suffered from a number of chronic issues. Thankfully nothing serious or too life altering but annoying and limiting nonetheless. The first being back pain primarily caused from 3 herniated discs in my lumbar, sciatic area which caused muscle spasms and shooting pain. I also have some scoliosis and lordosis or swayback that I started treatments for in 4th grade. My junior year of high school I was warming up before cheering at a basketball game and my muscles spasmed to the point of immobilization and needed an ambulance to get me to the ER for muscles relaxers. My 3 pregnancies carrying 9lb babies didn’t help the situation. For years I took extraordinary amounts of Motrin to avoid muscle relaxers and prescription pain meds. I also suffered from sinus pressure which induced almost daily headaches, chronic sinus infections and seasonal allergies which lead to several more OTC medications in my arsenal.
This went on for years while raising my boys until a neighbor saw how much pain I was in at a school function and insisted I see his chiropractor. I had been to several in the past and value their philosophy but just had not found the right one for my needs. But I was at my wits end and had nothing to lose at that point. Dr Jim Claussen opened my world up to a new way of healing. This happened about the time Pinterest was getting popular where I found all kinds of new ways to experiment with natural products by his encouragement. The woman in his office introduced to essential oils and I dove into the Pinterest pages to learn more. Needless to say, I got hooked and had to try as many as possible.
Shortly after, doTERRA came into my life and I have never looked back. The oils and products have helped me take control over my ailments and led me to a feeling of empowerment with my back, sinuses, headaches, allergies and so much more. Through exploring I learned what oils and combination of oils to use for what and have noticed that with consistent use my level of irritation has decreased immensely. I am proud to say that I have not taken a single medication since November of 2104 and have never felt better!!!
