Digestion was my battleground. Gut health a mystery.
At one point, I was on 15 different medications — bloated, exhausted, foggy, and still getting nowhere. Then I began using essential oils as part of my healing. Within months, my symptoms started to shift. My meds reduced. My energy returned. No, essential oils didn’t “cure” me. But they became one of the most effective tools I had — and still use every day. That’s why I talk about them. That’s why this section matters.
