Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from some sort of depression each year. I hate to think what the number is worldwide. Today though, more than ever, people are searching for a drug-free solution to depression. And one of the solutions is genuine, authentic, essential oils.
One such oil is a blend called RutaVaLa from Young Living Essential Oils. It has helped many overcome depression, including my husband Steve. Ruta has not been distilled for over three decades, but in the last 3 years or so, Dr. Gary Young has discovered and distilled this magnificent plant found in Ecuador. This oil blend gets the name RutaVaLa because not only does it contain the Ruta essential oil, but Dr. Young added the essential oils of valerian and lavender.
Ruta comes from the greek word meaning "to set free" freeing people from disease. Among the symptoms that RutaVaLa has freed people from includes depression. It improves the attitude and modulates the brain function, reduces fevers, helps with menstrual cycles, rheumatism, aches and pains of all kinds, and reverses stickiness of the blood platelets and more. According to Dr. Young, Ruta has a direct action on the parasympathetic system. In Ecuador, they wave branches of Ruta over a crying baby's crib to calm him, and put it over the doorways to keep negative energies from crossing the threshold. And of course the essential oils of valerian and lavender are well known for their calming effects.
I must admit that I was not fond of the aroma of RutaVaLa at first. However, the more I use it, the more I like the smell. My first experience using this wonderful blend was quite impressive! I usually have trouble sleeping because my brain talks to me through the night. And if you have ever experienced this, you know that when you wake up, you feel that you have not slept at all. The very first night of inhaling and applying RutaVaLa on the brain stem and the back of the neck, gave me a restful night's sleep.Now as long as I use this oil blend at bedtime, I wake up refreshed.
"Since inhaling RutaVaLa and applying it across my forehead nightly, the depression I suffered for many years has lifted. I was on anti-depressants for 17 years and now I am drug-free. My outlook on life has greatly improved and I feel 100% better!" ~Steve
This is a calming blend that promotes relaxation of the body and mind. It helps relieve tension and stress. And who doesn't have stress these days? It also helps to overcome negative feelings and encourages a more positive attitude. So if you have a tendency to be negative, suffer from anxiety, too much stress, or sleepless nights, and are looking for a drug-free solution to depression, I strongly encourage you to give this blend a try! RutaVaLa is exclusive to Young Living!
Good Health to You,
