[Essentially Ours] Re: valerian + vetiver



Edith,

Thank you for sending this list to the group. Valerian & Vetiver are not
oils I tend to remember and they sure came in handy yesterday. I was
pounding stakes into my garden to designate the rows where things will be
planted, and accidentally smacked my knee with the hammer. OUCH! {I should
have learned my lesson last week when I smacked one of my knuckles with that
hammer!} I applied lots of Deep Relief and PanAway and kept working for a
few more hours. By the time I returned home my knee was still very painful
and I could barely walk up or down the stairs. The muscle was pretty stiff
and could not bend well or bear much weight.

I then applied many of the raindrop oils and still didn't notice much of a
change. I even applied ice at this point and that temporarily dulled the
pain a bit.
Next I sat down to read my emails and noticed your wonderful post. I mixed
up a batch of Valerian + Vetiver (about 5 drops each) and added V6 and
started applying that to my knee. That seemed to loosen things up a lot. I
continued to apply the blend several times over the rest of the evening. I
added a couple drops of clove & peppermint to it.

This morning my knee feels a lot better. I can walk the stairs pretty well
and there is very little swelling or stiffness in my leg. I'm ready to
head back out to the garden today. I promise to stay away from the hammer.
My hubby gets to do the rest of the garden construction projects from here
on out.
