A word on painkillers…

So I get a little upset when people are scared to use essential oils during pregnancy. I shouldn’t, but hey, I’m human. Why do I get upset? Because the stuff that you trust instead – I don’t trust. We are taught to trust it and it’s scary how much we do …scary how readily we accept it.

Here’s some of what I know about mainstream painkillers:

Panadol/paracetamol – is a synthetic chemical that gets stored in your liver. Whilst it does numb pain it also numbs emotion/empathy at the same time. This change in empathy isn’t just a blip, it’s enough that people are researching and finding results disturbing. There are also studies now suggesting if used whilst pregnant it may have a link to autism…

On a personal note I know of a 45 year old many who had a headache, took a couple of panadol and died. It happens. It’s a drug. Drugs have side-effects, we just take it that they aren’t sever because these drugs are so widely accepted. They are widely accepted because they are the safest of what can be offered in the world of medicine, not because they are safe. Take a moment to think about that.

Neurofen/ibupropen – is known to damage the gut lining. From past posts you will likely remember that this is the same gut that you need to mount a proper immune response (80% of our immune protection comes from the gut). Gut health has known links to mental health, allergies, asthma and just about every other aspect of health…it’s kind of important.

Did you know 90% of your serotonin is produced by bacteria in your gut. 90% of the neurotransmitter that gives you the feeling of happiness…in your gut…the one that is harmed by modern diets, pesticides and drugs. Not using ibupropen isn’t going to be the entire solution, obviously, but if you had an alternative you’d want to use it right?

So are there alternatives? Yes.

Are they effective and not just some hippy potions I’ve concocted? Lucky for you, YES. And there is a load of research but even more – there is a LOAD of person experiences …and you can have one too. You don’t have to believe me, you just have to try.

My husband was a massive skeptic about my health choices, then he tried. He now uses nothing else for his back ache, low moods, muscle cramps. You name it he now comes to me and asks for help. He didn’t want to admit it, but here’s what he had to say about my blend for muscle pain/tightness:

I’ve had back pain for years and NOTHING has ever worked like that essential oil rub…

Essential oils I turn to:

  • Peppermint oil I use for head, sinus and temperatures
  • Monthly blend for…well monthly stuff – both emotional and physical. I can tell you this blend has changed my LIFE. As a teen I would be on the floor in the foetal position. Now, I rub this on and wait about 20 seconds…then I get on with my life… I’m NOT KIDDING!!! Great for all aspects of hormonal balancing this blend is an absolute God-send.
  • Frankincense I use for inflammation as well as to magnify the effects of the other oils. Frankincense has a very high vibration that lifts the site of injury or illness to a higher vibration. Amazingly powerful stuff.
  • Soothing blend for muscle pain and tightness – even comes in a hubby-friendly rub for easy man-proof application 😉
  • I have a tension blend for… tension. It’s true. Any back of the neck, migraines, nerve-related pain. I have a blend for that.

A friend who is a chronic migraine sufferer for 30 years:

Tension blend has changed my life. I have gone from 5-6 a week to 4 in 6 weeks. That is a total game-changer.

When something natural can penetrate quickly and deeply – relief is amazing and almost instant. These are safe, natural AND effective. They don’t store in your liver or destroy your gut lining. The body metabolises them as it would food – if you don’t need it, you eliminate it. The body can do what it needs to do to heal itself if only given the tools…

If you’d like to have a sample from my toolkit, you need only ask…
