FEELING TERRIBLE
My sweet husband was laying in bed, looking quite pale and miserable. His hands were shaky and his energy was super low. He has bouts of hypoglycemia and has problems with low blood sugar. Normally he would eat a bunch of things with sugar to try to get it under control. But.... that's not an option during these 30 days of fasting... (well not the 1st option anyway!)
He looked at me and said,"I might have to just give up and eat. "
Have you prayed about it?
"Yes, I'm praying about it."
I prayed also, and we went about our routine for the afternoon. Then I had a thought..
Do you want to try an essential oil? I've heard Ocotea is good for blood sugar problems. (Ocotea oil is derived from a type of tree found in Ecuador related to the cinnamon species)
"Sure." he replied.
I went to my Higley Desk Reference and looked up 'hypoglycemia' and 'low blood sugar'. The main recommendation was to use Thieves oil, but ... I was out! So I prayed and then got the ocotea- put a couple of drops in his hand, he rubbed it around 3 times in his palm (to activate the oil), and then applied it to the middle of his left foot.
Why the middle of his left foot???
Great question! It's the vitaflex point for the pancreas. (This information is also found in the Higley Reference book) To be honest.. I don't really know much about the vitaflex points and why the point for the pancreas is on the left foot.. but we went with it!
GOD USED OILS TO SAVE THE DAY!
He still looked miserable........until...about 5-10 minutes later! God made a way for the oil to work and my husband has been able to continue to fast. Yay! I get so excited when God uses the Young Living essential oils to bring healing to our family in different ways. AND I was super excited that I didn't have to continue the fast by myself... :)
