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.
A few months ago, during Thanksgiving weekend, my 6-year-old girl tripped and fell while on the escalator. She was wearing a skirt so her shin was not protected. She cut her shin on the edge of one of the steps creating a gouge that was less than a quarter inch long and wide like one of the teeth of the steps, and maybe 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch deep. She cried and she was bleeding a lot.
I immediately carried her to the bathroom to put her leg under the water to bleed more. Then I put a few drops of the PanAway oil blend and Lavender oil on it. Lavender helps to cleanse the wound and stop the bleeding.
PanAway helps with bruising, stops bleeding, and for the pain. She said it hurt but she said it was the oil...which I knew was the Peppermint in the blend. The pain of the cut was gone. I didn't have V-6 on me to help dilute it.
She was crying and crying. A nurse who'd been shopping heard the commotion and came into the bathroom to help. I told her as well as anyone else who asked if I needed assistance if I wanted it. I said, "No thank you, I have my oils." And my daughter refused everyone and just wanted my oils...and me. The only other item I used was one band-aide.
The nurse was trying to get her to stop crying. She explained to my daughter that she would have a nasty bruise...a rainbow of a bruise. She said it would first be as dark as the purple shirt she was wearing. Then it would turn blue, then green, and so forth until you reached the other end of the rainbow spectrum.
While she was telling my daughter this, I wanted to tell her, "NO, it won't." I knew she won't experience the dark bruising because of my other experiences with my daughter with bumps and these same oils as well as other testimonials from this site. I knew we may not even see the bruising.
And in the next few days, I was right. She did have a nasty looking bump...I mean you can see the lump and feel it...but it NEVER became as dark as what the nurse told her. In fact, you can barely tell there was a bruise just by looking at it. I wish I got the nurse's contact info or ran into her so I could have shown her.
All I did was apply the Lavender and PanAway for the next few days. Then I continued to put Lavender and Frankincense to help with the scarring.
It hasn't been four months since the accident but her cut cleared up maybe in the first month. That little gouge filled in and was never infected. I haven't been diligent lately with the Lavender and Frankincense so the scarring is taking it's time going away.
I try to never be without my case of oils. I always want to be prepared as I was this day for an emergency.

| 6. | Associated topics: wound-/-gash,scar-tissue — "[One] method employed for wound healing is the application of lavender oil. 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 |
| 7. | Associated topics: wound-/-gash — "Topical 5% tea tree oil is an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne vulgaris.... Tea tree oil has broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity in vitro.

Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery." | Link |
