Well, as some of you may or may not know I suffer from sciatica & tendonitis in the front of my pelvic bone pretty bad while I am pregnant. To the point that I can't do hardly any type of excercise without causing more pain. Each pregnancy the pain is worse & shows up sooner. LAME! Anyway, since I starting using essential oils I have heard all sorts of great stories about people having great success curing back pain issues using the oils. Even though I am a believer in the oils I was still pretty skeptical that they would be able to help with this. Anyway, I was told to use LemonGrass & Marjoram on my back, left hip (the sciatic side), & the front of my pelvic bone. So I finally got those 2 oils & had Danny rub them in before we went to bed last nite. Well, this morning I have woken up virtually pain-free & I know that with more applications on a regular basis that the pain will be completely gone. JOY! Seriously-I got out of bed & walked around like I wasn't even pregnant! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about this-it literally brings tears to my eyes. If anyone has suffered from sciatica you can relate. When I would think about having to deal with that pain & discomfort on top of all the usual aches & pains of pregnancy, it was more than overwhelming. I am not looking for a pity party or your sympathy or anything like that-I just had to share this with you guys. I am so excited & wanted to let everyone know so that if you or anyone you know suffers from this kind of thing- essential oils can help. Some people might say-'why not just take Tylenol or something like that?' Sorry, but I am not the type that can stand to take anything like that while I am prego if I don't have to(much to Danny's mismay). Not to mention I would have to take it consistently for 6-7 months-no thank you! So now I have a safe natural way to keep the pain away & I couldn't be happier! Plus, this is a great excuse to get Danny to rub my back a couple nites a week-and what pregnant woman doesn't want that?! :0)

good to talk to you today. Thanks for understanding my plight in my life. hee hee
Anyway so with this new discovery I can't wait to hear that you are awaiting 6 more kids!!!
I am so glad to hear that story. I have heard so much about these oils in the last couple of months. It's like the latest craze. Just wait until you get to use them to heal after you've had your baby. So much better than the creams and stuff you get from the doctor. They are much more soothing.
I love it. I have a book all about these called "The Complete Book of Essential oils and Aromatherapy." It gives all sorts of ways to cure just what seems like everything. When my boys start getting a cold, we rub lavender (to help them sleep better), revitalize and aspire (to help heal them), and then I put spruce on their pillow (to help them breath better). Seriously, works like a charm. I rub their feet with lavendar a lot too just before bed time. They love it. They ask for the oils, when they get sick, they can tell a difference, it is so cool and so rewarding to see them REALLY work. We get ours through www.butterflyexpress.com.
Where to you get yours? I know there are a lot of good places to get them. I'm just curious!
I'm so glad they're helping your siatic nerve, there is seriously nothing worse. I love hearing you talk about them, so keep the posts coming. :)
