I’ve been having abdominal pain for about two months. Maybe a little longer. In order to start dealing with it, I saw my doctor. He recommended a CT to figure out what’s been going on. The MD’s found that I have small kidney stones in my left kidney. They are apparently not large enough to be causing issue but KIDNEY STONES. Twelve years ago, I had surgury to remove an extra ureter on my left side and my kidney has always been malformed. He thinks that maybe it’s not draining like it should which could be causing the small stones. I’m on a mission to kill those stones so I don’t have to pass them. Because OUCH.
In addition, because the abdominal pain is not gone. It’s not getting worse or better. I’ve been keeping a food journal for about the last two weeks. I’ve noticed a correlation between bread (aka gluten) and the pain, so in an attempt to cure/fix/reduce the pain, I’ve decided to try a gluten free diet. I have reduced my gluten a lot but it’s time to get rid of it. So I’ve been doing my research and already have increased my intake of whole fruits and vegetables. And I’ve also started reading Wheat Belly. Which whoa. I’ve been struggling a bit with how to get started on a gluten free diet but now that I’ve noticed a correlation between what I’m eating and my abdominal pain, I realized that I can’t wait.
In addition, I’ve been using essential oils for about a year and have upped my usage in hopes to help my body get it’s act together.
This month, I decided to join the club. I’m now a Wellness Advocate for doTERRA. I joined because I have seen a positive impact from these oils on me and my family. It was time to take the plunge. I believe that adding essential oils to my life can do nothing but have a positive impact. I love that the doTERRA brand of oils are natural and highly concentrated. They come from the earth and are good for the earth. They are a natural way to increase our health and deal with issues that come up. I love that I can add oils to my health regimen along with what my medical doctor recommends.
I thought for a long time about joining the doTERRA team. The way the oils work, the way the company markets itself, it’s professional look on all products and literature and the 25% discount made for an easy decision. I am excited about these oils. I have already helped my daughter overcome what could have been a terrible scar on her chin from a fall last year, Molluscum, and a number of colds. We have been diffusing for several weeks in our house and this week I started diffusing at work.
I believe in the power of essential oils as part of a healthy lifestyle. I’m excited to start continue the journey of the oil life. I’m excited to share my story here as I learn and become the best me. I’m excited about the awesome things that oil can do not only for my body but for my home too!
I joined doTERRA to learn and get the discount on my purchases. I didn’t realize that once I started talking that everyone would have questions or want to try out oils. If you’re interested, I’d love to tell you more about it. I’d love to help you be your most healthy self.
p.s. If you’re already into oils and want to order, here’s my business site. http://www.mydoterra.com/jessvento/
