Almost a week ago my right foot got tangled in the strap to my purse and down I went! Having my right hand in the other strap I had no way of "catching" myself so I hit HARD! My face was heading towards the door jam and not wanting to break my glasses I turned quickly so as to hit the whole right side of my face and neck into the wood. My left hand instinctively tried breaking the fall but just bent my fingers back. As I lay there dumb founded and just plan numb I watched the fingers on my left hand swell up and turn black and blue and couldn't bend them, at the same time I was growing a knot on my right wrist.
After realizing I wasn't goin to pass out I got up and literally dumped Lavender oil into my hands and splashed it on the swelling bruises and open sores on my face. Almost immediately I could bend my fingers! It was amazing to watch the knot on my wrist disappear! Even the swelling on my face went down, all within minutes!! Since I didn't "pass out" and I was now capable of driving I decided to proceed with my plans and went shopping!!

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 |

Due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, it is thought to prevent wound infections and to play a role in reducing pain by lowering inflammation.... Lavender oil is known to have antibacterial, antifungal, sedative, and/or antidepressant effects.... In addition to its antimicrobial effects, the anti-inflammatory analgesic properties of lavender oil have also been emphasized... The use of L. Angustifolia [lavender] is particularly recommended in chronically infected wounds due to its immune-stimulating and antimicrobial effects. There are also reports that lavender oil reduces scar tissue." | Link |
