Buyer beware.
I recently had major abdominal surgery. Anyone that has had this knows how you feel when you wake up. I will tell you what I did.
First, before surgery, I showered using the Thieves Household Cleaner, figuring I would help make sure I also didn't have to fight a staph infection later if I could help it.
Second, my doctor allowed me anything that made me feel more comfortable, so I brought my own pillow in a plastic bag to hold in the Peace & Calming, Valor and Thieves I had saturated it with and the wonderful odors I woke up to.
Third, I placed 3 drops of the Peace & Calming and 3 drops of Gentle Baby blend down my lower spine before going in the operating room.
Fourth, when I woke up and began to feel discomfort (read, it hurt like Hell) I used a lavish hand with Peppermint, Helichrysum, and the Sacred Mountain blend. That was the only time I used anything but the Peppermint for the discomfort.
I found out later that no one had turned on the morphine pump, so these things really did the job for me. We found that I am allergic to almost all of the pain relievers and antibiotics, so I relied on Peppermint, neat, on the abdomen and 2 drops of Oregano, 2 drops of Mountain Savory and 10 drops of Lemon in a capsule, twice a day.
My incision closed up extremely fast and the bruising was gone within 2 days. I rode my 4 wheeler to the house from the highway because of road conditions after being released from the hospital and have since helped construct a 3 story house in the Alaskan Bush.
I hope this helps somebody.

| helichrysum-oil - "...its flowers and leaves are the most used parts in the treatment of health disorders such as allergies, colds, cough, skin, liver and gallbladder disorders, inflammation, infections and sleeplessness... In vitro studies characterized Helichrysum as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Its flavonoids and terpenes were effective against bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus), its acetophenones, phloroglucinols and terpenoids displayed antifungal action against Candida albicans and its flavonoids and phloroglucinols inhibited HSV and HIV, respectively.... Regarding Helichrysum italicum in vivo activity, the highlight goes to ...the anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by its flavonoids, acetophenones and phloroglucinols, as seen in animal models." | Link |
