Yup! Thats me 10 years ago, and the me now is very different. In 2010, I had full blown eczema after 30 years of topical steroids which also ended with me finally landing in A&E and being injected with even more steroids.

That’s me not knowing the difference between tackling illnesses at a symptomatic level vs taking complete charge for my well being. I was at a complete loss. Besides the world of medication and steroids, I didn’t know any other route for health. I didn’t know any better. I didn’t know that eczema is related to poor gut health. I didn’t know that certain commonly accepted food like wheat and dairy is inflammatory for us. I didn’t know of other health solutions besides medication.

Long story short, 2 good friends got me to consult a naturopath. He got me to change the food I take, got me to see that Mother Nature is a lot more superior than the symptomatic approach that I was so used to. So when oils came into my life in 2010, I was ready – and willing. Willing to see that there are safer, more natural alternatives that I can use for mine and my family’s health – without the side effects. Willing to understand that there are toxins hidden in our daily household and personal care products. And what if I read up the ingredient labels and do a ditch and switch?

And it’s not just oils you know. Cos it’s the start of an eye opening journey. Of understanding we do have choices. Far more than we think. Of realising that everything in us is connected, from digestive to immune to hormonal and so many others. And that denying our emotions and thoughts, is surely a way to create illnesses in our bodies. Of being curious… That we can choose not to readily accept what others say. That we can ask questions, get clear and stand in our own beliefs.

So yeah, it’s not just good smelling oils. It’s really a transformation of your choosing. It starts when you decide to welcome these little bottles home. And perhaps, 10 years later, when you look back, you’ll marvel at how far you’ve come and how grateful you are.
