I am SOOOO gratful for Basil!

This is my magic oil of the day!

So today I was going to post something totally different but after last night is is clear that I am completely and totally grateful for the essential oil Basil. So to give you way to much personal medical information, I suffer from ovarian cysts. They come almost every month. They make my abdomen swell and look 8 months pregnant. Not to mention the terrible pain that makes it impossible to do anything. Bending, lifting, moving even sitting hurts. The doctors have 2 solutions One is to take hormonal birth control. I have tried 5 versions of this and have had horrible reactions. (the reason my cysts are so bad is because I have to many hormones so adding more really isn't good for my body) Two to give me pain killers, we are talking strong ones. Guess what I have bad reactions to these as well. Oh yeah there is a third option surgery. But that would mean surgery almost once a month. Not really an option. Last year I expanded my love of essential oils and have been using them for many medical problems that taking medicine is not an option for me. About 6 months ago I had one of the worst cysts I had ever had and out of desperation I go to my oil book "Modern Essentials". This book tells you what oils to use to treat all that ails you. I looked up Ovarian cysts. It tells me to rub Basil on my abdomen. Within about 30 second the excruciating pain I was in was suddenly relieved. It does not take the cyst away but it takes the pain away. I was able to sleep for about 4 hours and then woke up with some more pain and reapplied the oil and was once again relieved. Today I am grateful for the option to be relieved of this pain when needed. Last night I had another large cyst and instead of being in pain and having to go bed I was able to rub Basil on and enjoy the evening with my husband.

This is my box of my magic oils that I love so much!
