Hi Bev: I am a graduate of the 101, 201 and Aroma-massage CD, courses. I am currently studing Reiki, Reflexology and herbs. I relied on E.O. blends for my father who died of cancer in 2005. Aromatherapy helped me keep his skin free of bed sores and reduce his anxiety. Early in his stages I used essential oil blends to increase his appetite and ease his muscle pain. He loved the EO’s and felt that it was special attention. When he passed I used blends for my own grief. I have made blends for my husbands aching knees and feet, he says: the medical Dr. can’t take away the pains the way my oil blends do. For myself I rely on my blends everyday; after being in a car accident 3 years ago, I have had muscle spasms, soreness and a whole list of problems. I have a lot of days, I can hardly move – until I get my E.O.’s on me then I feel a tremendous difference and I get my freedom back. On the advise of my chiropractor I recently went to a medical Dr. and was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The Dr. was thrilled that I was able to help myself as much as I have by using the E.O. blends (he saw the specific Blends) for coping with the pain and other symptoms. He said to keep using the essential oils, they are remarkable and that I would be better off with the E.O.blends than getting a prescription !!
Coming from a Medical Dr. I was shocked but very pleased and confident that the blends I make for my muscle pain and spasms do help with out the side effects! I can’t say enough about the instructor for this course – Bev is a constant source of reliable information, she is level headed and a true teacher of her craft, long after you have graduated from her courses. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a full understanding of essential oils. It would be hard to find a more dedicated instructor ! Thank You Bev, your instruction has helped me to help myself everyday ! Hugs
