Every month I was getting severe migraines to the point where I couldn't function for sometimes up to a couple of days. I would see a doctor and they would prescribe a medication that would knock me out. My choices became no choice at all it was pain and not function or medication and not function. Those choices didn't work for me, because like many human beings we have a life to actually live. I had been told that peppermint could help with the migraines. I was very skeptical that a plant could help when medication wouldn't. When the migraines became so bad that I was literally going blind I decided to give peppermint oil a try. I went and bought the oil and waited until the next month when the inevitable was going to happen.
I was driving down the road when I noticed that my vision started to get the usual first sign that I was going to go blind and start having a severe migraine. It was always like the old TV's when the signal was bad and you would get gray swigglie lines across the screen. I reached in my pocket for the bottle of peppermint oil and placed a drop on my finger tip. I rubbed it into my temples and the back of my neck. No one warned me that it would heat up and feel as if I was on fire.I pulled over and took a moment to deal with the overwhelming amount of heat. It didn't take long and I noticed something amazing! As the peppermint oil heat began to ease up I watched the static lines go from the bottom of my vision slowly up to the top and then disappear. When my migraine decided to show up it was more of a severe headache then a migraine and I was able to function every day using ibprophen and peppermint oil. It was the best feeling to go on living my life with a little bit of pain versus hiding in a dark room, and throwing up every time I moved. I have now been using this to treat my migraines for over a year with the same results.
I decided to really start looking into alternative medicine, and so far haven't been disappointed! I have learned a lot and am actually living my life with a new view on the way our earth produces everything we truly need. Until you try it...don't knock it is a wonderful phrase that we can all learn from.
Stayed tuned for my next adventure in Homesteading!
