Leah's Testimony
Have you ever heard someone use the saying ‘Balled my eyes
out’? To me this phrase is best described as crying so hard, long and with so
much force that your eyelids feel like they are rolling out and the following
day even your eyes are puffy and red. This is not a pretty sight to see.
Nine years ago, I had an argument with someone and
afterwards was so sad and emotional about it that I ‘Balled my eyes out’. The
following morning I was surprised to see a vein had appeared on my eyelid. It
was a red spot and was slightly bumped out. I covered it up with makeup and
thought it would go away in a few days.
After a few months, definitely enough
time for it to heal, I had to come to grips with the fact that it was NOT going
away. Over time it turned to a dark purple hue. When I was pregnant, it went
one step farther and grew in size. Much like you would point out spinach
in someone's teeth to be helpful, people would point out that spot thinking
that I had tagged myself with mascara. Long ago I forgave and sought
forgiveness from the person with whom I had argued. However, the spot was a constant
reminder of that original moment of pain.
Skip forward to one and a half years ago, I had read many
articles about the type and amount of chemicals that are present in many facial
cleansers and moisturizers. My mother kept telling me that I should try coconut
oil. My skin has always been what I classify as oily skin. I had a hard time
with the concept of adding more oil to it. I decided to go out on a limb and
try using coconut oil for my moisturizer. My mom had been using it quite a
while and her face didn’t look like an oil slick. To my surprise I really liked
it. My skin felt more hydrated throughout the day.
Then, last December I received my first set of essential oils. I found some claims that Frankincense was really good at healing skin and that
a drop of lemon on the skin could help with oiliness. Since I had been
experiencing acne problems related to hormone changes, I decided to add them along
with some Clary Sage to my coconut oil moisturizer. First, I loved the smell of
the oils together since it was like a baked good, YUM! Honestly each morning
putting it on my face made me hungry.
Then I read a post about removing your
makeup with coconut oil. I decided to try it out with my yummy smelling mix.
Who wouldn't want to go to bed smelling delicious? This effectively removed traditional cleansers
and moisturizers from my routine and as an added bonus I noticed I no longer
put Chapstick on each night before bed. My lips simply don’t feel like they
need it. And I have been a Chapstick-a-holic for years.
About 2 months after using my mix in the morning and at night,
I had a very exciting morning. I really consider it my oily miracle! As I was
putting on my eye makeup I noticed that the spot on my eye had FADED and it was
no longer 3D. I gasped, did a happy dance, ran to show my husband and was on
cloud 9 for the rest of the day. I never expected the power of Essential Oils
to be strong enough to heal something 9 years old! As I continue to use my mix, that spot keeps
fading. YEAH!!!
My essential oils have given me two types of healing, one is
superficial (see the pics!) and the other is emotional. -----Leah
My husband had a mole like bump on his face that we were worried about getting removed due to scarring. He used frankincense and in less then 30 days it was gone, and it is still gone over year later!
