OT - I was hit by a car - AT suggestions wanted

[Guest guest]

Hi All:

 

I own Pomegranate, Lotus and Plum, a body care line, which is how I

discoveed this group, and have seen lots of great advice and words of

wisom go by in the last fefw months that I've been a member. I thought

to turn to you all for some help now.

 

I was struck by a car while in a corsswalk on May 21, and my shoulder

was badly broken -I now have a plate and a bunch of pins in my left

humerus (upper am bone). I'm having various other symptoms as well -

vision problems and a lot of anxiety about being outside, crossing

steets, crowds, etc. I am aware that I am lucky I didn't lose my life

or have worse injuries.

 

I have been adding lemon verbena and melissa EOs to epsom salt baths.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for good aromatherapeautic

support? I'm especially concerned about the vision problems and the

stress. I am seeing a regular doctor and physical theapists.

 

THanks in advance, Cecile Johns

How about using neroli for the shock factor.

Or Roman Chamomile for its calming abilities.

Inhaling neroli or roman chamomile helps me with my Post Traumatic

Stress disorder.

I also use Frankincense Sacra to pull me back into a more grounded

feeling. And rose otto oil to heal my upset.

I also use Arnica Infused oil with Helichrysum for bruising.

Sometimes mixed with Inophyllum Calophyllum oil.

Sorry to hear of your injury. My daughter was hit by a hit and run

driver last year in Orange County.

The driver did not stop but other pedestrians were very helpful.

Hugs, Alison TT

I've been having severe stress issues for five years now compounded

by the death of my mother last year and there are a number of oils

that will help you with the stress, so since you have your own body

care line I suggest you pick some EOs that you feel drawn to. I made

a blend of Clary Sage, Chamomile, English Lavender, Spike Lavender

and Sweet Orange that I carry with me to inhale when I have a panic

attack because I have trouble being out by myself. I was inhaling it

when I went to view my mother's body and at her funeral. However,

what helps me the most is the light massage/healing touch I got from

my husband. That coupled with my EO blends helped me with my PTSD.

It will help you get on your feet much faster. The massage and

healing touch is what keeps me out of the mental hospital basically.

I'm not suggesting deep tissue massage, it's about the connection of

touch and " feeling safe " , that's the kind of massage I'm talking

about. It's a shame more therapists do not offer this as a form of

therapy because there were times when I didn't want to talk, I had

nothing to say. I've yet to find a friggin' shrink to help me with

my problem. My husband has been my best therapist. My husband had

to spend many nights at 3 am rubbing me down with oils while having

an attack.

 

I hope some of this may help you.

Hi Michele

This is mainly what Aromatherapy Massage is all about in the UK.

Touch, comfort, quiet space & time - blended with oils carefully

chosen for the individual and their personal circumstances.

Its a shame you're not in the UK - I'd come out of retirement

specially for you :-)

Take care
