Quick recovery

The heavy eating and swing in the weather was taking a toll on my body. I could feel it coming. I took Inner defense for a few days. Over the weekend I caught a chill and the symptoms started popping up. Nose congestion and scratchy throat. I applied RC on my neck and chest and used peppermint oil regularly. I also applied and drank thieves oil.

Once our body succumbs to it, it will have to work its way. On Tuesday, I developed a slight fever, I used the oils in the day and was under control. At night, I put drops of Thieves and Oregano into a capsule and swallowed it. I got up on Wednesday feeling fresh and the body temperature was back to normal. What was amazing is that though my throat seemed scratchy, I did not have sore throat. Occasionally, I would cough out the phlegms. I did not use paracetamol at all. The recovery was quick. Good that I have the oils at home and ready to use them.

Bruised veins and arteries on foot

Felicia's sprained foot was covered with a big plaster and concealed a huge patch of bruise. After removing the plaster, it was really shocking and scary. I got hold of Lavender oil from my car and spread 5 drops over the area. Within minutes, all of us there saw the swelling and bruise reduced.

Keep sore throat away

EK shared with me this morning that he applied RC oil on his neck area when he felt that his throat was showing signs of soreness. Within a day or two, his throat felt OK. Another good remedy to prevent sore throat worsening. 

Getting reading for heavy eating during festive period

During the festive period, we eat quite a lot more. I was getting ready for steam boat dinner last night and felt the tummy feeling congested somewhat. Took a Essentialzyme capsule and applied Peppermint oil on my tummy. During the 1 hour drive, my stomach was belching and by the time we arrived at the dinner place - . Voila, my stomach was feeling good and ready for the great dinner.

Strained muscles

My wife carried a load of stuff from shopping (marketing) and somehow strained the muscles on her back. After applying deep relief roll-on and ortho ease, she felt better. A week later, somehow she strained her right arm again and this time she felt a lot more discomfort and even could not get up from bed.

Good thing we have the other oils. I decided to just use the single oil Wintergreen. Within minutes of applying, she said that she could feel the pain relieve. This time round, the application goes all the way down from the shoulder down to her ankles. In a couple of days, she could get up the bed as per normal. Therefore, it is good that we have different oils available. Sometimes we need to use the single oils and complement with the blends to produce better overall results.

Immediate pain relief and recovery

I was carrying a pail of water from the toilet and stepped on the door mat (not the non-slip type) and my foot slipped. The bottom of my big right toe scratched against the aluminium door frame of the sliding door. Within seconds, the blood vessels connecting the base of the big toe to the foot was swollen and turn dark color as if blood clot was happening.

Though I grimaced for a while in pain, I got hold of the Young Living lavender oil and applied a few drops. In a couple of minutes, I saw the swelling and the darkish blood vessel starting to reduce. I grabbed my iphone and took picture of the problem area.

Unfortunately, I did not capture the condition when the blood vessel was swollen and dark. My wife was frightened that I would have trouble standing since most of us will have lean on the big toe when we walk. Initially, I could not place the foot down completely. After that, I applied wintergreen and voila, within minutes, the pain is reduced significantly. We continued with our plan for afternoon tea.

For this minor incident, we learn again how beneficial to have the YL oils.
