Looking for a natural anti-depressant with doTERRA essential oils?? I got this great story from a wonderful friend & leader. Enjoy!
I went to my doctor for an annual check up…due to a number of situations in my life…I was quite upset and my doctor was quick to write a prescription for an antidepressant….I couldn’t even discuss it with her and just took the paper with me….when I got home, I proceeded to look up information on the medication…including a long list of side effects (of course!)…I decided that I didn’t need the side effects on top of all of my other stressors and quickly began researching which oils would help improve my very low mood.
I came up with a blend of peppermint, wild orange and melissa (4:4;1 ratio) (I call it POM) and put it in a roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil. What a great little blend! Worked great!
Forward several weeks…..my husband, mother in law, and I were meeting with one of her health care providers who suggested that she may benefit from an antidepressant…She didn’t respond initally…after the visit she proclaimed…”I’m not going on an antidepressant! I don’t need any more medications!” I told her…don’t worry…I’ll make a little something for you…I brought my POM blend for her and showed her how to use it….honestly I didn’t think she would.
About a month later at a family function…she approached me and said “Say, I need some more of your snake oil…I really think it improves my disposition!” I laughed at her reference to snake oil and happily refilled her bottle.
Two months later, on the phone she said she needed a refill of her ‘friendship potion’….of course I refilled it…I think we’re both a little friendlier when we use it!
I wonder what she’ll call it next?
