Essential Oils Help with Infection

TRUessene Essential oils help with infection after surgery.
The first part of August I had some minor surgery that left me with a 3 inch incision on my lower calf.  It was healing well until the end of the month when I noticed that it had some infection.  Part of the incision had come open and was oozing.  I knew that my instructions if this were to happen was to go to the doctor and I was pretty sure that she would prescribe an antibiotic.

Not wanting to 1) take an antibiotic if I didn’t have to and 2) pay for a doctor visit and prescription, I turned to my notes from class.  I determined to take a drop of oregano oil in a capsule with my meals. After reading further on thyme oil, I decided to rotate between oregano and thyme (oregano at breakfast, thyme at lunch, oregano at dinner and so on).  I must confess that I probably missed a few doses.  I also put tea tree and rosemary neat directly on the wound and I’m not sure that that was the best thing (harsh on the skin?).  Perhaps I should have diluted it with some message oil or only placed it next to the wound.  (??)

At any rate, after about 10 days I was satisfied that the infection was gone.  The wound has not completely healed over yet but the scab area is half the size that it was during the infection.  I have also occasionally put SecreSea youth serum and hydrating cream on the area around the incision, as this skin really took a beating during the surgery.

I am excited that I didn’t have to go to the doctor or take antibiotics and I am grateful that I have something to turn to should I not be able to get to a doctor.

The surgeon told me that I would have a big ugly scar on my leg. Well, I have been using Lavender and Frankincense oil around the wound since surgery and I look forward to proving him wrong!
