Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
At work, my chair armrest and desk drawer are a bit cramped together, so when I open my drawer, I need to move my chair to the left. I didn't scoot over far enough, so when I tried to open the drawer, my thumb got stuck in the partially opened drawer, then I moved my chair, which caused the armrest to close the drawer on my thumbnail! It felt like I hit my thumb with a hammer.
So, I read this oil testimonials website and read that it would help to use some Lavender oil, which I don't have any at work.
I do keep a small zipper pouch of four essential oils with me at all times in case I need them. I had the Panaway oil blend in there, so I applied it to my thumbnail, cuticle, and sides and pad of my thumb. I'm not sure if oil absorbs into the fingernail, but I had read that if an essential oil absorbs into skin, it will absorb into the fingernail.
After the first application, ten minutes later, I applied Panaway to the pad of my thumb again, then up over the sides of my thumbnail, and onto the thumbnail and into the cuticle again.
Within 15 minutes, I had no more pain (unless I push hard on my thumbnail). I compared the color of my thumbnail to my other thumbnail, and only a small amount of redness remains where the drawer opening really pressed on my nail. I think I'll apply it one more time, and we should be all set for the day!
