Oily Journey and Stresses

So, you may think this is a fad, but to me this is a way of life.  I am making an effort to live a healthier, happier life.  And included in that means oils, so along with getting better at posting, I am going to be posting recipes and such, and yes most of them will include oils.  If you have any questions or want to know more about them, I would be happy to share!  I did my research on which oils worked best for me, and Young Living won by a mile!  Today, is going to be the benefits of Lavender essential oil. A very terrible and sad thing happened this past week, my puppy woke up with paralyzed back legs. Vets believe he has a ruptured disk and it could be digenterative. We do not have the $10,000 to do surgery so we are going a different route. He is getting laser treatment along with medication to ease his pain and help him relax. Well, I don't know if you have a spirited dog, but mine has so much love and energy and not even medication can slow him down!!! As of right now this is my lil guy. He looks so sad doesn't he?

He wasn't sleeping, and had high anxiety! He can't move his legs for goodness sake!!! So he's frustrated, medication making him loopy, and not able to move or go to the restroom on his own. More about him a lil later.

And let's move on to my hubby who is challenged in the relaxing department. His mind goes at a constant rate, he's always thinking, coming up with solutions to problems. His mind never takes a break!  So I have 2 guys in my life who cannot relax! 

Enter in lavender. 

I have been diffusing this puppy all day, and even rubbing some on my puppy's paws! And wouldn't you know it! He conks right out! It relaxes him enough so he is not so tense!!! I have to tell you, to me, it is a miracle worker!!! And becoming my favorite lil bottle! You put 6 or so drops in a diffuser full of water, and wha la! Instant relaxation! I am not trying to sell any of you on this. I encourage you to learn on your own. I am just filling you all in on my successes! If you want more information, just ask.
