The Essential Oil Geek Has Arrived! My First Post!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello Incredible Steem World! I'm SO FREAKING STOKED to be here. Everything about this place is amazing, masterminded by some really freaking smart people. Go them! Wait, who are they? There's still a lot I have to learn...

But anyways, back to ME! My name is Selysa, and I'm head over heals obsessed with essential oils. They can fix nearly any physical/mental/spiritual problem. Essential oils are extremely concentrated plant extracts. Some even say they are the soul of the plant. They have been used for thousands of years by cultures all around the world. I have seen miracles happen from these little bottles of herbal magic.

Sometimes when I fall asleep at night, I imagine myself as a tribal medicine woman healing the people.

So follow me @EssentialOilGeek if you want all of my tips and tricks about how to use essential oils to make your life awesome.

But before I go, I'm going to get really personal. This is my grandpa. I call him Tata. Last Sunday we celebrated his 70th birthday, and just a few weeks ago he and my grandma (I call her Nana), celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary!

Tata

If you look really closely at his face you can see that one side has less bags and wrinkles than the other.

Last summer my Tata and Nana were getting their swimming pool refurbished. My Tata was walking around the empty pool when he slipped off of the highest ledge and fell into the deepest section. He fell fifteen feet and landed on his shoulder, elbow, and face, and was knocked unconscious. He doesn't remember a thing.

We were worried sick for him, yet incredibly grateful that he even lived. The doctors put his shoulder back in place and operated on his elbow. There wasn't much they could do for the brain and face damage. After two weeks of hospitalization, he finally came home. He had a long road to recovery from deep bruising, broken bones, and brain damage.

This is when me and my sister Yesenia (pictured above in our very silly Christmas costumes) did tons of research. We knew essential oils could help, we just needed to find the right ones. We reached out to the incredible essential oil community and found recipes to mend bones, reduce inflammation, and improve cognitive function. We, the modern day medicine ladies, whooped him up some oil blends and told him to apply three times per day.

Two weeks later most of his bruising and inflammation was gone, and he went to see the doctor. The doctor looked at his chart, looked at my Tata, looked back to his chart and asked, "Wait, are you the elderly man who fell fifteen feet into an empty swimming pool?"

My Tata responded, "yes, doctor, that's me." The doctor hardly believed him because he looked so good!!!

Now here's why half of his face looks younger than the other half: we later discovered that the essential oils we gave him for recovery also happened to be anti-aging oils. He only applied them to the half of his face which broke, and not the other half! He did so three times a day for three months, and then stopped because he was completely healed, cognitive function and all. Take a look at the photo one more time to see the difference between the two sides of his face.

The [previously] broken side of his face is now the younger side of the face. Now me and all the vein people in the family be rubbing the essential oils on our faces like -

My name is Nicholas Black

Welcome us all, both old and new to this place of sharing and treasure. Well, that's how it was explained to me anyway! welcome aboard and if you get a minute, take a look at my mostly ridiculous, sometimes informative posts.

I'd love to see us all grow together, so if you feel so inclined, FOLLOW NICK and my silly antics and I'll do the same. Teamwork makes the dream work (an old coach in those way-too-tight shorts always said that before slapping us on the butt...which I think constitutes assault these days, but whatever.)

Wow, how do you fist bump like that with out looking!?

It's like i'm a pro or something. Many hundreds of years of practice:)
