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 niece called me yesterday at 6:00 pm after arriving home from my great-nephew's basketball tournament. Towards the end of the game he was accidentally struck across the nose and eye area by another players elbow. The coach and nurse took a look at him and said he should be ok and then sent him home.
She did a quick look to see what essential oils she had on hand; Lavender, Lemon and Balsam Fir. I had her take a chunk of pure virgin coconut oil, warm it in her palm, and add a drop of Lavender oil. She rubbed a bit on each temple, his nose and around his eyes (being extremely careful to NOT get any in his eye.)
Then I had her rub a drop of Balsam Fir across his brow. Immediately his facial pain and tension were relieved! He used a ice pack 10 minutes on and 20 minutes off throughout the evening.
They texted me at 9:30 pm to say the swelling was gone and that no bruising had occurred! I'll be checking in with them this morning!

| 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 |
