Valor for sore muscles?

The thing that I love most about therapeutic grade essential oils is their versatility. We have a blend called PanAway that is designed specifically for pain and a new roll on blend called Deep Relief that is designed specifically for sore muscles and deep aches. My business partner Cris calls it PanAway on steroids. Well, I do not have PanAway (due to an unfortunate incident involving a lid that was not tightly on the bottle) or Deep Relief on hand currently.

In my other life, I play as the receptionist at a female only fitness studio (www.enticefitness.com) where I am allowed to take the classes for free when they are not full. One such class that I was priviledge to take is belly dance with an amazing performer. Shortly into the class, however, I knew that I would be sore later. Immediately afterward, in an attempt to thwart any soreness, I pulled out my oils pouch to see just what I had on hand that could help with this situation. The best I could come up with is a blend called Valor.

Typically, I use Valor as my coat of armor. I wear Valor every day as my way of grounding and connecting with Spirit. Well, I put a few drops in my hands and proceded to rub my shoulders and upper arms. The next day, my arms felt great. How do I know that I simply hadn't worked as hard as I thought and the Valor really worked the magic? Because my hips, thighs and butt ache like nobody's business. :)

So, remember, when you don't have the blend that your EODR recommends, use your intuition to find a substitute. With Young Living Essential Oils, you can only make a good choice.

Purification for Lucas' scraped knee

Today, while playing in the park, Lucas fell and scraped his knee. Immediately, I pulled out my little pouch of oils and put some on the scrape. "Does that feel better?" I asked him. "Yes," he said through a tear streaked face. He hissed a bit. I am not sure if it stung a bit or not.

Anywho, two hours later (yes, our trips to the park can be quite long) a lady came over and began to chat with me. When she asked what I did, I happily shared with her that I teach people about being healthy using therapeutic grade essential oils. She was familiar with perfume grade oils and was really interested in knowing more about how essential oils can heal.

Again, I pulled out my pouch and allowed them to smell the oils. They fell in love with a few of them. Purification was a favorite of her daughter's. That reminded me and I showed them Lucas' knee. I asked her and her daughter how old they thought the owie on his knee looked. They both guessed a few days. Just about 2 hours, I told them.

I was amazed myself that it had healed so quickly. I have been using these oils for over a year and I am still impressed with how they work.
