I am passionate about living healthy naturally. I enjoy using essential oils, herbs, and food as natural remedies to many ailments. God Bless.
I just want to take a moment to share with you why I started this journey with homeopathic remedies and using essential oils because it is a very personal one. A little over a year ago, before I was pregnant with Jovana, I was sick, very sick with life threatening ailments. The doctors of course prescribed me medication. It wasn't long before the medication started causing side effects, so the doc
tor prescribed more medication to 'fix' the problem of the side effects. That in turn ended up with even more medication and so on. I remember laying in bed one night, I could feel my heart like it was going to pound out of my chest, and I could actually feel and hear the swish of blood as my heart worked so hard. At the age of almost 36, I felt like I was dying and that this was the end. I lay there wondering how my family would deal with the loss of me. Not long after that, I found out I was pregnant with Jovana. I quickly thought about every medication I was ingesting and how it was going to affect the life growing inside me. I started to research the medications I was taking. Everyone of them was unsafe to take while pregnant. Then I thought, if they are unsafe for her, then they surely are unsafe for me. But then again, deep down I already knew they were unsafe for me because of the compounding difficulties and side effects each medication was causing and how I had never felt worse in my life. I decided to make a serious change. I stopped taking all medications and threw them in the garbage. I stopped letting the doctors tell me what they thought was good for me and I started taking control of my own health. I already had a working knowledge of how raw foods - fruits and vegetables were natures way of keeping us on the right path of health. So, I started researching natures cures as well for when we do have ailments. I learned about essential oils and started using them. I started researching as well the effects that every day products have on us and the toxins and chemicals in them. I started making my own home products using essential oils like deodorant, toothpaste, body lotion, soap, and shampoo. I found out about how coconut oil is one of natures great healers. I found out how I could cure things like heartburn and nausea that pregnancy so frequently causes with natural remedies that wouldn't harm me or my baby. I started feeling healthy again without any medications at all. I am blessed to have found this path of health, and that Jovana came into my life at the right time to force me to take charge of my own health. My journey now includes me increasing my knowledge of nature's remedies and sharing it with those that I love and with all of you who will be inspired to take control of your health as well.
