Healing?

[Guest guest]

Fascinating! My husband suffered brain damage as a result of extremely high

doses of antibiotics administered over a long period of time. His vestibular

( balance) system was damaged, resulting in a case of what looked like total

drunkenness every time he stood up and tried to walk! We were, and still

are, using essential oils. He went to a rehabilitation clinic for three

months to relearn how to balance without using the centers in brain. He

recovered rapidly( much to the doctors surprise ) It is now 1.5 years later

and he is back at his old job- which requires a great deal of balance! He

had been told he would probably be on permanent disability the rest of his

life! ( he is only 42.)

It never occurred to me that the oils may have played a part in his

exceptional and rapid healing process- but it sure makes sense. He is

partial to rosemary, basil, and peppermint and uses them liberally and

often.
