When I was a teen my parents ran a four bed foster home for teenagers. These teens had usually left home/had been kicked out due to fighting with their parents. Every Christmas Eve these teens would all rush off to spend a few days with their parents. With sugar plums in their head they would be hopeful of reconciliation. I am the type of person who wants a perfect world; and my heart would break for them as they would return early, with tears in their eyes and anger in their hearts. Every Christmas was the same routinue. It didn’t matter who it was, what the story was, it just ended the same every year. After Christmas our home would be full of depressed teenagers. Even thinking about it breaks my heart. To this day I feel an overwhelming need to make Christmas perfect for my kids. I guess deep down I want to protect them and never see them sad at Christmas like the faces from the past. Christmas to me in playing and being together most of all. But sad to say depression is all around us at Christmas. So today I wanted to share two oils that I have been sharing with friends this year for depression. They are RutaVaLa and Palo Santo. The results have been amazing. My one friend was on expensive depression medicene and she is off them and feeling great using RutaVaLa. The best thing is one application and you can feel a difference. After the second day she told me the oil worked just as well as her medication. All you need is about 2 drops of oil so the bottle last a long time. Depression is overwhelming and we all have times in our life that it touches us. I am so grateful this Christmas for so many things, especially essential oils. I hope that as I share the oils with you that you are receptive and they can help you to. Merry Christmas!
