Intestinal ache

Friday I had a bad intestinal ache. I think I overdid it on Thanksgiving. I went out to do a bit of shopping only to rush home with such pain I thought I would pass out. I thought I may have to go to the doctor, but I always reserve that choice for after I do all I can to help myself.

After I arrived home, I thought what can I do to alleviate this pain naturally? I prefer to try natural remedies before pharmaceuticals or going to the doctor. I have at my disposal an arsenal of essential oils and I like to look to them for my first defense against ailments.

I pulled out digestzen which is a blend of oils to help with digestive problems and I can either rub it on affected area or drink a drop or two. I chose to rub 2 drops on my abdominal area.  While it was starting to get into my system I also pulled out my peppermint oil. I took an 8oz glass of water and added 1 drop of peppermint oil and slowly drank it. I had family waiting to see if I was going to be able to go out again. It was approximately 30 minutes later and the symptoms subsided and I was able to go out and enjoy more time with my family.

I am happy I didn’t have to go to a doctor and waste my time. Also, thrilled I had something so natural and simple to help me get on with my day.
