As most of you know, essential oils have revolutionized my family’s health. Are they an end all be all? Absolutely not as I believe that health consists of healing in a variety of areas including but not limited to: nutrition, exercise, good rest, & stress management. That being said, when I started actively using essential oils at the beginning of this year, my husband was not on board. Actually, he was a little angry with me that I was spending money on MORE natural health options. Of course I explained to him that these oils were literally pennies per drop compared to expensive doctor visits and co-pays. Last January, I took Owen to the doctor when he was sick, and it cost us $150. That’s crazy! Now if he ever gets sick, I use a few drops of essential oils on him, and those few drops cost me less than $1. I don’t have to waste time going to the doctor office, AND I feel empowered as a mom to actually do something for my sick baby rather than feeling helpless.

Back to my point. I had been using Roman Chamomile on Owen as he was teething, and not sleeping well. My husband couldn’t believe how well the oil was working on our son. Our whole family was getting more sleep, and it felt awesome. One night, my husband broke down and said, “Okay, let me try one of these oils. I’ll see if they really work.” He really didn’t believe that they would. I had him rub roman chamomile on the bottom of his feet and on his temples that night. The next day while he was at work, I received this text: “Whatever oil you gave me last night, I slept like a rock.” He came home saying that every guy at his office wanted a sample of this oil. From someone who wasn’t a believer, Roman Chamomile quickly changed my husband’s mind. He’s been on board with the powerful effects of essential oils ever since.

So if you’re stressed, have problems sleeping at night, or you have a child who could use some extra support at bed time, you need Roman Chamomile. Read here why all essential oils aren’t created equal. And if you have any questions, email me at kristenmpardue@gmail.com.
