Why the eye pictures?? Let me explain..
While it has become very normal for me to support “issues” naturally, I realize that there are many who may not do the same. So I share for those who might be curious. And for those who aren’t…nothing to see here! 😂 👁️
Last Tuesday I noticed that my right eye was irritated. At dinner Giana noticed it too. It was glassy looking and had some definite pink / redness in the corners.
As the night progressed I realized that something was brewing. No clue where it came from. It was irritated. Kind of itchy. Kind of painful and was more and more noticeable. But I knew and even said “I have an oil for that”. (My family loves when I say that 🤪).
The next day it was still irritated. Applied my roller of tea tree and lavender essential oil three or four times that day (takes 2 seconds; just roll it around the eye) Wore my glasses to not cause further irritation from contacts and by 5:00 that day, it was completely fine.
I even purposely snapped pictures to show progression (thus all of the strange selfies) 😳 That is how confident I was that I could tackle this on my own without batting an eye (pun intended 😂).
I share experiences like this for a few reasons:
1. To educate on the power of essential oils.
2. To offer another way, another option, another path to consider.
3. To remind myself of how appreciative I am to have these tools at my fingertips. In the past, seeing my eye like this would have panicked me, sent me into an overthinking spiral “how long do I wait it out before calling a doctor”, “is someone else in my house going to get this”, “when will I have time to get to the doctor”, “I’ll have to pick up a prescription”, etc, etc, etc. I was calm, confident and empowered. I had peace of mind knowing what to do.
My life is different from how it used to be 8 years ago and I’m proud of that. Living a more natural lifestyle is a conscious choice I make and is one that may not be for everyone. And that’s fine. I’m not here to convince anyone. Just support whoever is willing to listen. 🥰 And apparently snap pictures of my eyes too. 😜😂
