These testimonials are from myself and my clients

Dental Work

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. My teeth have always hurt and are sensitive to temperature and pressure. I hadn’t been to a dentist in 8 years and I finally had to go because along with the dry cracked lips my gums felt like they were infected. I started using Thieves Oil on my gums and by the time I got to the dentist my (self diagnosed) infection was gone. Needless to say, I was in the chair for cleaning for 2 hours. The hygienist said I had deep pockets and after the cleaning she measured them. I had some at 13 and many were between 5 and 12. I’m due back in three months and we will measure them again. I’m now using Thieves toothpaste, Thieves Mouthwash and Thieves oil applied directly to the gums. According to many testimonials I have read, people have had great success with the gums healing and getting snug to the teeth again. I can tell mine have already improved because it doesn’t hurt when I chew my food anymore. I told the hygienists that she will see an entirely new mouth when I come back.   Marcy White

Depression

I have been on Zoloft for 12 years. I had read about using the oils for anti depressants but just couldn’t believe it would work for me. I was experimenting with the oils for other problems and accidentally stumbled upon the realization that indeed these oils must work for depression because I was forgetting to take my pills. I never forget to take my pills because I can tell by the symptoms I am experiencing when I miss one, and then I go take it. Usually, I would feel a strong craving for chocolate, which is an indicator of low levels of serotonin. Well, by the end of the first week of using Frankincense on my moles, Lemon in my water, and Hope on my cold sore root, I noticed that my pill jar still had 3 pills left.

I was amazed, so I looked up depression on the PineHill testimonials site and found that all 3 oils were used for depression. Encouraged, I continued to use only 4 days of Zoloft for 3 more weeks. Feeling great, I decided to drop to one pill a week for another 3 weeks. Feeling okay……I say okay because I did have to adjust to the return to myself before ever taking Zoloft…….I would cry at any ‘touching’ story and I would have days of impatience, just like normal people have, and with the help of my daughter and friends I realized that this is what it’s like to have the normal ups and downs in life.

I must admit I do feel ‘addicted’ to my oils. But, since I derive so much more benefit from them than just the anti depression benefit, I am okay with spending the money I used to spend on Zoloft and use it to purchase my oils.
Valor is an oil I added to my regimen, I noticed how much easier it is for me to hold my boundaries………but, that’s another testimonial.

Depression - an update 4 years later

The first 4 months off the zoloft were the hardest and that's when I used the oils 4 to 6 times daily.   After a year I started taking fish oil and noticed I didn't need to use the oils anymore on a regular basis.  I still use the oils when I feel I need to, but the main mood balancing is now from the fish oil.  I do truly believe that the oils changed the DNA in the amagdahlia (the emotional storage house in the brain), which is what Gary Young, founder of Young Living Oils has written in his desk reference.  I also believe that my choices in lifestle became more centered on living a peaceful, meaningful existence where my relationships with people are the most important aspect .  Marcy White

Inflammation/swelling

One of the after affects of contracting polio as a baby was a withered lower calf, unstable ankle, arch deformities, and a shortened foot on my left leg which caused continuous swelling in these areas for over 20 years.

Marcy introduced me to Lemongrass several months ago. At that time, I had no idea what an essential oil was, but was searching for some relief from the swelling so I tried it as a topical treatment. The swelling improved somewhat but the yellow discoloration at the area of application caused me to cease application. Earlier this summer, Marcy informed me about the anti-inflammatory properties of Basil. Still looking for relief from the swelling I tried Basil as a topical application. There was a marked improvement but the swelling still continued. On advice from Marcy, I included Peppermint in my daily routine. Once again, there was additional improvement. At this point I rediscovered Lemongrass in my medicine cabinet and decided to try ingesting it (thus eliminating the previous discoloration problem). This was the last ingredient needed to finally experience almost complete reduction of the swelling, which had been my daily companion for over two decades. Consuming a morning and nightly capsule of 2 drops Lemongrass plus topical applications of 2 drops each of Basil & Peppermint has been my regimen. SEEING MY ANKLEBONES AFTER 20 YEARS STILL CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME. My regimen is this: 2 drops of Lemongrass in a capsule taken internally, 2 drops each of Basil & Peppermint applied topically to my ankle both morning and night.
I love these products and am excited to learn more…especially the NingXia Red !!!  Nancy Eich

Dry Cracked Lips

I could not get rid of this crack in my lip. I tried several lip balms and nothing worked. When I got my new order from YL with the toothpaste I noticed that after using the toothpaste for 3 days, my lips were fine. I have no idea what ingredient in the toothpaste helped with this problem, but not only were my lips okay my teeth never felt cleaner. And I know we should brush after every meal but my teeth feel so clean it’s easy to skip a few brushings, which is fine by me since I’m a ‘grazer’, don’t usually eat an entire meal but will tend to eat 5 times a day.  Marcy White

Eyesight Improves

After 2 weeks of being on NingXia Red my eyesight improved and my eyes quit hurting.

I finally went to the Drivers License place to get my eyes tested. When I asked the clerk about taking the eye exam, he said, ‘Oh, no, I can’t do that.’ I said, Why not ?’. He said, ‘Because if you fail I will have to take your license.’ I laughed and said, ‘Oh, no, I’m going to pass and then you’re going to take the restriction for wearing glasses off my license.’ He said, ‘What ?!!! You mean you think your eyesight has IMPROVED ?’ (he was quite taken aback as both of us are in our 50’s). I said ‘Yes’ and then he let me take the test. After passing the test he asked how my eyesight improved. I then told him about the nutrition and he quickly stated, ‘Oh, that wouldn’t work for me.’ I smiled, shook my head and thought, probably not, if you won’t even try.

Exposed Nerve

Marcy was telling me about her dental experience and I asked her if she had an oil that would work for an exposed nerve. She immediately said ‘Yes, Thieves Oil’. My partner had just done to the dentist and the dentist told him there was nothing that could be done for an exposed nerve. After my massage Marcy asked my partner to come in so she could give him some of the oil to try. He said ‘No, it won’t work.’ Needless to say, we finally encouraged him to at least try it. By that evening after one more application his pain was gone. Marcy gave us some Thieves mouthwash to try and he absolutely loves it. He is now using the Thieves Dentarome Plus toothpaste, Thieves mouthwash and Thieves oil when needed.

Feet Pain

Ever since my jobs have required me to be on my feet, I have experienced pain after work and sometimes into the early morning. I had so much discomfort that sometimes I couldn’t get to sleep until 3 am. I bought expensive shoes and tried jells but they didn’t help at all. I was introduced to YL oils by Marcy White and I put YL Melrose oil on my feet every night for 3 weeks, then every other day for 1 week and then stopped completely. It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve used the Melrose and I am gratefully pain free.

Fibromyalgia Pain Disappears/Weight Loss/Grapefruit Oil

I first bought the grapefruit oil to loose weight, which I did, but to my surprise my muscles stopped aching. I have fibromyalgia and have lived with pain on a daily basis for the last 2 years.

I take 7-8 drops of grapefruit oil in water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Within 4 days of using the oil all my pain was gone. After about 2 months on the oil I went out of town for a wedding and forgot to bring my oil. After 3 days of not using the oil all my pain returned. After 2 days of being back on the oil all my pain disappeared again.

I have lost a total of 22” and 23 lbs since I started taking the oil 4 months ago.

I am forever grateful for learning about Young Living Oils.

Lavender Oil

I had this piece of skin on my temple that was something like a scab. Whenever I scratched it off it would just grow right back. I put a drop of lavender Oil on it everyday for 2 weeks and it went away. It’s been 2 months now and it has not returned.

Moles & Warts

I have used Oregano to get rid of 10 moles. Sometimes I stick a toothpick into the oil and apply the oil judiciously because it can be irritating to the skin. I am happy to say the Oregano has removed all but one of my moles.

Pain in Thumb

I was getting another wonderful massage from Marcy and when she was working on my thumb she noticed that it had a click in it when she moved it. I told her that my thumb had been hurting for the last few weeks. As usual, she went for a bottle of oil and put a drop or 2 on my thumb. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but when 5 days went by and it still didn’t hurt I called her up and wanted to know what oil she used and if I could buy some. I figured if it worked that good I wanted to have to have some on hand. It’s been 2 weeks now and my thumb still doesn’t hurt. I’m amazed at what these oils can do for me. The oil she used is called PanAway (should be called PainAway). She told me people with arthritis use it a lot.

Post Herpatic Neuralgia

When I was 91 years young I fell and jammed my thumb on the cement trying to catch myself. Within 2 days I noticed red spots on my shoulder. I went to the Clinic and they gave me a shot of cortisone. The pain increased and came in surges. I went back to the clinic and they said I had shingles. I was on Neurotin for a few months. The pain lessened but never really went away. When I met Marcy and she told me about the oils, I started using Ravensara on my shoulder. I purchased 20 drops 5 weeks ago and the pain in the shoulder is almost gone. I still have occasional pain in my hand and am continuing to use Ravensara.

Skin Disorders

I have used Lavender oil on dark spots on my arms, from the sun. I use it morning and night. After a couple of weeks the dark areas are nearly completely gone. Lavender has been very good for cuts, blisters and any sore areas. It completely heals any of these in a very short time. I truly think no house should be without Lavender.
Animal Scents has been very successful for me on dry skin patches. I have rubbed on a small amount morning and night and the dry skin patches nearly disappear. I completely believe in the use of Animal Scents for this use.
Extreme dry skin on the bottom of my heels resulted in the skin cracking to the point of bleeding and pain. I used Lemongrass followed by Animal Scents a couple of times a day. The use of the combination of these two has almost completely healed up my heals.

Warts

I used oregano, neat, on my newly emerged warts on my hand and applied it twice a day. Within a month all three of them had disappeared. One of the warts I had for a year. The other 3 were only a month old. For the really small warts I would stick a toothpick into the oil and apply the oil judiciously because it can be irritating to the skin.
