Shoulder pain

Back in April I lifted an 8 pound weight across my body and subluxated the joint (where it goes out and back in again). I've been having issues ever since. I had been to P.T. and also had an MRI that was inconclusive. I"m now back in P.T. Since I feel I keep reinjuring it by moving it wrong. I am going to seek a second opinion as well since my Dr wants to do a scope to see what's wrong. I would like to try less invasive things first. I don't know why Dr's are always quick (I shouldn't say all Dr's but some) to jump to surgery. There are so many complications that can happen (infection, increase pain, side effects to meds). I have been putting deep blue on it which does help some with the pain but then I started researching and it said for frozen shoulder to try : wintergreen (for pain/inflammation), white fir (pain/inflammation), lemongrass (improves circulation), peppermint (pain) and oregano (improves muscle flexibility). I then Applied all of the ones listed above and have had decrease pain/improved range of motion. Praying I don't have to have surgery but if there is a tear will probably need to be fixed. We will see. Love how I can treat this naturally instead of going on some sort of narcotic that will have adverse side effects!

Oils that help with Eczema

I have some eczema on my one hand that gets worse when I'm under stress. The other day I looked down and it was dry/inflammed and was really bothering me. I looked to see what oil I had on hand in my car and had a sample of helichyrsum...one of the pricer oils but you get what you pay for..I applied 1 to 2 drops on my hand and instantly the dryness/inflammation was Gone! Other oils that can help with eczema or dry skin that are less expensive are Melaleuca, Lavender, Geranium, Myrrh, Frankincense. You can combine all these and then apply 1 to 2 drops each or layer or use individually. The thing I LOVE about these essential oils is that it's like having a Chemistry experiment..it's trial and error. Most of the time you will get an awesome result.. You really can't go wrong. It's also nice to know I don't have to rush to the Dr to get some sort of prescription that has a ton of SIDE EFFECTS. Thank you Doterra for really helping my body naturally!!!

Frankincense!

Frankincense is one of my favorite essential oils! It was given to Jesus when he was born! It's considered the King oil since it enhances all the other oils. Scientific studies are showing that it interacts with certain types of cancer cells! Dr. Hill (Physician for Doterra) recommends 2 drops of frankincense under the tongue twice a day or on bottoms of feet. You can also take it internally in a capsule. Frankincense can also penetrate through the blood brain barrier! This oil is on the top of my list! Here are some more facts about this amazing oil: copy and paste link below! http://www.doterratools.com/documents/Frankincense_Essential_Oil_Product_Information_Page.pdf Here's to happy health!
