Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: severe depression

The issues with the sun happen when you use the oils topically. I drink lemon water while working in my garden with no problems as all. The lemon is truly an amazing oil and it may work for your friend. It is however a cleansing oil and helps rid your body of toxins, it is also uplifting so it may fit her needs.
Balance is a grounding blend that is part of the mood matrix and works well for severe and light emotional needs.

Pat, why would you use Balance instead? Is it more stronger or something?

Thank you so much everyone! Gretchen, you did not ramble! Your experience is very helpful. It definitely sounds like my friend's father. I suffer from bipolar disorder and before I had the right medicine, I never felt sort of "normal" before. I was always so depressed for years.

How do I explain and help my friend understand that there are alternatives? She wanted lemon partly because of the price. I am very new at this so that is why I am not confident and could really use lots of advices!

Valerie, what did you mean 1st step 1st?

Anyone had issues with sun sensitivity after applying the lemon oi? My friend is very concerned about that.

Many thanks!

Oh, Gretchen, you have not rambled!  You give all of us tears, goosebumps &
hope--for ourselves or others!!!  You are amazing & I sooooooo appreciate
your sharing from your heart.  I just talked to a gal in Colo yesterday &
sent her some wild orange (wishing now I'd have sent her some Balance,
also).  I did talk to her about the LLV but I need to do the 1st step 1st.
THANK YOU again for sharing!!

I suffered with depression for years, was on anti depressants as a teen but
I became very violent which then made me never go back on them or try to
treat it. Fast forward thru over 20 years of struggling with it and it
getting to the point where I was in bed quit a bit.

Tried the oils, worked pretty good. I decided to start using LLV because as
an IPC holding classes I wanted to speak on them thru experience. The LLV is
what saved me. The first dose hit me, I could literally feel it working in
my brain. I have not suffered with depression since. Plus LLV is great for
sooo many other things.

I apply Balance to the bottoms of my feet every morning and take
Frankincense under the tongue as well. I have NEVER in my life felt this
great mentally. I think I was born depressed.

My 5 year old son on the other hand loves lemon as his pick-me-up.
Whener he seems out of sorts or crabby I rub lemon on his neck and arms and
then cup and have him inhale. Works wonders.

Depression has many sources, but what I have come to realize is that some
are going thru something using their own strength and depression is
understandable. There are times in life where life really stinks...job loss,
death, money issues. What I had was regardless of my circumstances. Most of
the time I had nothing to be depressed about. My life was great and I loved
the Lord, yet I couldnt seem to get outta bed and face the day.

Sorry for the rambling, but its a topic I feel so passionate about. I dont
ever want to go back to how I used to feel and I want to help others
overcome that hopelessness.
