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.
My father experienced his first jellyfish sting, across one of his wrists- it was a red welt about 4 inches long. He said he was gonna dump some rubbing alcohol on it and i said "no! no no- we'll put OILS on it! it'll HEAL it." and he agreed to give them a try.
I chose Lemon first, for killing any germs, and then Peppermint, to soothe and take down the swelling. After a few minutes, he reported the pain level was greatly reduced to 'tolerable'. and about 20 minutes later, he came to show us that the redness was completely gone, as well as ALL THE PAIN. he was back to normal- he was amazed! as were our other travel companions. I never regret going everywhere without my oils :-)

| swelling-/-swollen-/-puffy - "[W]e studied the anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective effects of C. citratus [Lemongrass] and E. citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus] essential oils on formol-induced edema and acetic acid induced abdominal cramps in Wistar rats.... 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 |
