Our Story.
The Be Still story began with a phenomenal woman called Geraldine Meyer, our grandmother. A woman full of love and deeply entrenched in faith.
By Nay-Lee Ramailane
In 1993 she was diagnosed with a gut-wrenching disease called Parkinson's. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative illness and a progressive disease of the nervous system, marked by tremors, muscular rigidity, slow imprecise movement, and high levels of anxiety. After reaching stage 5, the final stage, in the disease we as a family really struggled to assist her with walking, standing, sitting and even eating, because the tremors and anxiety increased at an exponential rate. This is where we opted for alternative means to assist with tremors and anxiety. She tried cannabis oil capsules and I must admit it alleviated the tremors and anxiety. However she became illusional and as a family we then took off the cannabis with immediate effect.
One afternoon after visiting my grandmothe I remembered a oil I once saw on YouTube for anxiety and epileptic seizures, something in me thought that if this product could assist with central nervous and neurological problems, perhaps it could assist us in managing the sevre Parkinson's tremors and anxiety my grandmother experienced.
This is where my internet in essential oils sparked and this is also where I believe the business was mooted. However, because of financial constraints we were unable to purchase the product I saw online. My mother then suggested that we do some research on the ingredients of the product I saw online and she suggested we try and make the oil ourselves. I did just that. I prayed and began to discover scientific evidence on the healing properties of essential oils and even various healing/fragrance oils of ancient scripture.
One weekend we purchased all the essential oils I researched from our local Dis-chem store. After purchasing the oils, I prayed and began the blending process. Once the blend was finished I applied the blend to my grandmother's temples, wrists and her feet. For the first time in months my grandmother woke up with the ability to sit, stand and eat on her own, it was truly a miracle! I knew we had just discovered something great.
From then on, every time the tremors would start she would simply apply the oils to her temples, neck and wrists and within a few minutes her anxious and tremoring mind would become completely still.
Today, our grandmother is no longer with us but we believe she left us with a gift and a legacy, we now call: Be Still. Through her 26 year struggle with Parkinson's and its difficult sypmtoms we are now able to serve all who suffer from chronic illnesses such as Parkinson's, Anxiety and Depression."
