The experience I am about to share is a bit personal, but I feel it is important that I share it because I believe that these experiences are really what the blog is for.
Last night, I was dealing with an extreme episode of flatulence. Due to the severity, Rebecca decided that I needed to combat my problem with essential oils. So...since my case was EXTREME, she decided to use essential oils of anise, fennel, and peppermint. In a teaspoon of maple syrup, Rebecca gave me 2 drops anise, 2 drops fennel, and 1 drop peppermint...with a tall glass of spring water to chase it all down.
Immediately, I felt the oils slowly permeate throughout my throat and upper torso. At this point, my gas was very frequent and intense. Within 5 to 10 minutes, I felt the oils moving down into my stomach and digestive tract. After only 15 to 20 minutes, I noticed that my gas was beginning to subside a bit, both in frequency and quantity.
Within 30 minutes, I felt the oils throughout my entire abdomen. After less than an hour, my gas had decreased from a very large amount about every 5 minutes, to just a small amount every 15 to 20 minutes. This was amazing. I went to bed that night free of gas and enjoyed a good nights sleep.
I had taken anise before on many occasions, but never really listened and observed to determine if and how much it really helped. This time, the relief the oils gave me was very apparent and undeniable.
Thanks to Reeb and the essential oils for their help.
