Young Living Essential Oils usage



Recommended Posts

As I near my four month surgeversary, I am curious if anyone else uses the Young living essential oils for treatment of pain, stress, hunger, Vitamins or any other reason. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much for your help.

After surgery my wife suggested that I experiment with essential oils. I followed her advise and found there was some substance and benefit to using essential oils capturing their medicinal properties. So you might say that I became New Age in my Old Age except I didn't let my hair grow long and tie it in a pony tail and I don't walk around wearing hippy beads.

I am 33 months post op RNY surgery. Immediately after surgery one of the interesting observations that I experienced was a complete absence of hunger. I found that it was not difficult to lose weight when hunger was not constantly, continually gnawing at your bones. But after about a year or two, hunger does return but not with the same intensity as it was before surgery. One of the oil formulas that I created and experimented with I called Anti-Hunger. I found it to be beneficial. The formula is contained in the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Thank you James Marusek, I found your information to be very helpful and inspiring. I unfortunately am stuck in the proverbial gerbil wheel of life. I suffer from chronic pain, excess weight makes it worse, exercise aids in weight loss but causes pain, the pain is relieved to a manageable level with narcotics, those in turn depress the senses including feeling full, so i have to be very careful when I eat. Many friends have used Young Living oils and swear by them. One day this past summer I had disabling pain in my knee and was given a massage of a blend of oils and within minutes the pain began to subside. So I have read and looked at data and other essential oils for 5 months and finally decided my quality of life was such that I had to do something. The Dr.'s could only change my medication to morphine, this in itself is upsetting to me. So I am taking my health back by any means I can, and the Young Living Essential Oils is my choice to do just that!

I too have debilitating pain and decided to have weight loss surgery when my pain management doctor told me I would be in a wheelchair on a morphine pump if I did not have surgery to lose weight. I've been with this doctor for 12 years, so I thought I should finally listen to him. I started at 278 and yesterday (I weigh once a week) I weighed 208. I have seen an improvement on my back pain, but my knees are still really really painful. I have bone on bone in my left knee. I have been using a spray-on magnesium oil on my knees and it makes a huge difference. I can't recommend it enough. The brand is Omica and on the label it says "concentrated pure magnesium oil rapidly absorbable topical spray with biodynamic/organic lavender and helichrysum". I think I bought it at Amazon. I don't recall the price but it lasts a really long time.

By the way, I also followed James Marusek's anti-hunger recipe and use it every day. He is a very smart and helpful person. I have also used his chili recipe which is yummy and very nutritious.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
