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.
I had to have a deep conization surgery and was prepared in this way:
Pre-op: On my brainstem I put Vetiver, Frankincense and the Release blend. On my pelvic area (surgery) I put Clary Sage, Vetiver, Frankincense and the Thieves blend. I also put Thieves on my feet.
Post-op: I focused only on my area of surgery (over the pelvic area) and applied Geranium (to slow bleeding) Clary Sage (cramping) Frankincense and Thieves and the RutaVaLa blend. I repeated this every 3 hours on the first day of surgery until bedtime. I ALSO drank loads of water post-op with NingXia Red juice in it (didn't measure amount but it probably totaled 6 oz that day)
I had NO PAIN, NO CRAMPS! NO NAUSEA which I guess is common post anesthesia. The day after surgery, I woke rested and as if I had never had a surgery.I continued to apply the oils to the pelvis every few hours for the next 3-4 days and still NEVER HAD A CRAMP OR PAIN! For the whole situation I never needed to take so much as an aspirin !
I had asked the anesthesiologist to give me the bare necessity of drugs, that I didn't want any "for my comfort" drugs. I had surgery on a Thursday and was in my exercise class the following Monday with my normal level of energy.
To me this is a miracle as I've had plenty of colposcopies and have been uncomfortable with cramping (which I've discovered Clary Sage and Geranium are great for by the way).
This was a much bigger procedure and because I used oils prior to and regularly post op it really made the experience no big deal. I was amazed and delighted. My husband and relatives were shocked that I was up and moving so soon after the surgery.

In vivo analysis and histological assay showed that the two essential oils displayed significant dose-dependent edema [swelling] inhibition effect over time. They displayed strong analgesic [pain-relieving] and antipyretic [fever-reducing] properties similar to that induced by 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylate of lysine.... This work demonstrates the anti-inflammatory property of Cymbopogon citratus [Lemongrass] and Eucalyptus citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus], suggesting their potential role as adjuvant therapeutic alternatives in dealing with inflammatory-related diseases." | Link |
