Essential Oils and Broken Bones

I broke my elbow this week. Now what?

I can't do much of anything or can I?

The fall down the little hill was quit unexpected. The emergency room visit was crazy. I was stretched to my limit. I was nearly packed for our out of town trip. The pain on a scale of 1-10 was a good nine.

I felt really dumb for being in this position, until I looked around me at the waiting patients. They were all there for one emergency or another. They were scared, angry and in shock.

I have such an advantage I thought. I can go home and use essential oils and flower essences.

Most of these people don't have a clue what to do when they leave here. they will try to cope the best way they know how, but it will be a challenge for many of them. I wanted to talk to each of them and share my passion for the EO's that I would use.

Since I couldn't share with them I want to clue you in on what I used and will continue to use for the next few weeks.

The first thing I did was get the correct diagnosis from the hospital and an orthopedic surgeon.

Broken bones must be addressed by the professionals.

When I arrived home I immediately set out to find the best essential oils to use. I wanted to treat the injury both from the physical as well as the emotional side.

The first EO that popped in my head to use was wintergreen/birch. The anti inflammatory properties as well as the ability to address the ache were the first priority.

Then I moved on to addressing the bruising with helichrysum, one of my personal favorites for injury.

I then used oils known for anti inflammatory properties as well as for their ability to address soft tissue injuries, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves, so I chose Lemongrass, pine, ginger, vetiver.

I made the following formula:

10 drops wintergreen/birch

4 drops ginger

4 drops vetiver

3 drops helichrysum

3 drops pine

2 drops lemongrass

This formula may be applied by adding the blend to a small amount of carrier oil, I used cold pressed peanut oil, then apply to the area of the break. If you have already been casted then use the blend on the bottom of the foot/feet.

I applied the blend in the morning and evening.

What are my results?

I am happy to say that no surgery is required at this time. I am also happy to say that I can type this blog, although very slowly.

I took half the dosage of pain medication three times over the last 4 days, so I attest to the power of these oils.

I did address the shock also by using Rescue Remedy from Bach flower essences. I also used Lavender and peppermint to help with the trauma. Ylang Ylang for the shock and anger.

A few of my friends have noticed that i am very calm, and I chock that up to using my precious EO's.

I truly hope that none of you ever have to face a broken bone but if you do try my protocol. You also may fall in love with Aromatherapy.
