Let's get personal right off the bat, shall we?

I should probably ease into this new blog and my new audience by talking about the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar or something equally tame, but it's best you get to know me right away.  I typically don't hold back and am not shy, especially when it comes to health.  Ask anyone that knows me and you will find that, more than once, they've said "TMI!"

Here's how I see it: sometimes we need to compare and share the all the gory details to make sure that we are healthy.  I once had a doctor tell me that you should look at everything that comes out of your body.  I have taken that to heart and plan on sharing some of those things with you.  Aren't you excited!?

So, with that said, let's talk about the biggest thing on my mind right now: Hemorrhoids.  Hopefully you don't have any.  A lot of us do.  I have suffered with one (I call it Mike) for years now.  Actually, I suffered long before I even knew what it was.  I tried all the creams and cooling pads and nothing seemed to work very well.  I learned to breathe and relax more allowing nature to take its course.  That helped a little, but there were times that Mike got cranky and nothing helped....until the other day.  I use Essential Oils on a daily basis.  Mike and I were in a fight.  I went to my oil remedy book and looked up the solution.  The first recommendation on the list was Cyprus oil.  I didn't have that one, but I had the second oil listed: Geranium.

I don't like geraniums and the oil is awful smelling, IMO, but I was ready for a solution.  I applied one drop, ONE DROP PEOPLE, to the affected...area, and seriously, the results were instantaneous.  I ended up applying one drop the next day, just to be sure, and I haven't had a problem since! I was so excited, I told my bestie, who also applied one drop with the same miraculous results.  She mentioned that it was as if the hemorrhoid was retreating back to where it belonged.  I felt the same thing happening.  (With how bad Geranium stinks, I would too!).

So there you have it.  If you are tired of suffering from Hemorrhoids, give geranium a try.  I can't imagine what cyprus would do!
