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.
Recently, my husband gashed his leg as he sped past a fence on his push bike. He had about a 2 inch wound where we could see his shin bone.
We began applying a rotation of oils 2 times daily, neat to the site including Helichrysum, Frankincense, the Melrose, ImmuPower, Aroma Siez and Purification oil blends, with a light dressing and secured with a firm bandage. He also took Longevity soft gels twice a day and this seemed to support the process getting started with no sign of infection
Stitches would have helped, and I have since found some experiences of how oils users have used thin strips of firm, sticky tape to close a wound, still leaving room to drip the oils in the wound.
Slowly the flesh filled in, though the shin, with its reduced blood supply, is known for taking a while to improve. After 3 weeks, it was 3/4 better but when his schedule got hectic and he forgot to take Longevity twice a day or dress it carefully, within 24 hours his whole leg had swollen up red and he went to hospital.
The doctor kept asking how long he had the wound and could not understand why it had remained infection free for 3 WEEKS and only become infected the day before. They put him on an antibiotic drip that caused his lips to break out in pus filled sores. His immune system was quickly depleted.
He is slowly building up again by drinking at least an ounce of the NingXia Red juice and taking Longevity capsules internally each day. We have both learned: close wounds somehow, for faster haling, and try to remember to keep up the oils regime even when life overtakes us!
