young living oils - Stuff Parents Need

Does anyone else out there get really painful hiccups? The kind that make you hold your chest and pray for a hiccup miracle??? My hiccups hurt like crazy, so when they took me by surprise a few weeks ago (as they always do…those sneaky little things), I quickly started researching if relief might be available from my essential oils. And what do you know? I had the answer to how to get rid of hiccups instantly sitting right on my shelf!

All you need is some peppermint essential oil! Since you are placing this product on the roof of your mouth, I would only recommend using an essential oil that is food grade. Peppermint essential oil is actually one of my most used oils, as it is an ingredient in my weight loss capsules, and it is an ingredient in my lung and sinus support trio! LOVE it!

So, how to get rid of those pesky hiccups. It is so easy, and I have used it on myself as well as on my oldest daughter with a 100% success rate!

Simply take 1 drop of peppermint essential oil, and dilute it with 1 drop of a carrier oil like olive oil or grapeseed oil. You need to dilute it because peppermint is a “hot” oil, and while some folks have no problem applying it “neat” (meaning without it being combined with an oil) many people find it to be uncomfortable because it feels a bit hot. I have personally applied it neat and been ok, but I have diluted it 4:1 with olive oil for my daughter. The first time you try it, please dilute it just to be safe!

Ok, so with your drop(s) of oil, simply apply it to the roof of your mouth. Hold your finger there for maybe 10 seconds. And say goodbye to your hiccups, because they should be gone already!

Hello, my name it Tiffany, and I’m an oil addict. I’ve only been using essential oils with Young Living since February, and I got into it as a oil skeptic. But here I am just a few short months later, spending big bucks on oils every month.

Or at least it seems that way at first glance. Actually, though, I’m pretty much getting them to pay for themselves. And I didn’t have to sign my life away, commit to a who new business venture, or beg people to order something from me. All I’ve done is what anyone who has tried Young Living oils would do: I’ve shared my story! 🙂

edit: I’ve been asked repeatedly about where I got my shelf. I actually found it on Zulily, which is a daily deal site, so I can’t tell you how to buy one just like it! But for what it’s worth, cute wall shelf is really cute!

I put together a video this morning that details exactly how I’m getting my oils paid for through my Essential Rewards membership, and how Young Living offers sweet bonuses to folks in Essential Rewards (all without any expectation that you treat Young Living like a business! Hooray for bonuses without strings! 🙂
