Thanks Irene Hi Irene, You can apply lavender oil neat if you wish or you can put 3 drops into a teaspoon of carrier oil and apply it. If this bruise is old then there is no need to worry about the blood clotting as it has done that already a while back. What is happening is it is taking a while for this old dead blood to break down. This is normal and will pose no problem. Sometimes when there is quite a bit of blood under the skin it takes a while for it to dissipate and break down.

Dragonhealer - Organic Pets herbal remedies Tuesday, September 10, 2002 4:47 PM [herbal remedies] Old Bruise hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion, about 3 years ago had had a bad fall down some concrete stair and ended up with a very nasty black and blue leg. My entire leg from the ankle to the knee was badly bruised, except the front of the leg which lacks muscle just bone remained a yellish colour. It was checked at the time as there was a corncern about the possibility of DVT. However it come back clear and i just got on with it. But still I can see bruising and there is a dent in the front of my leg, in total the leg is about half a inch broaded that my other leg. On the front of my leg where the bruising is still slightly present it fells hard, the leg isn't sore and doesn't cause any problem, from time to time i use Aloe vera Heat lotion in the hope of getting rid of the bruising once and for all, but I was wondering if Arnica might be better. Any suggestion would be appriecated. Thanks IreneFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hi Irene, I am not sure if anyone knows exactly why lavender works for bruises or why any Essential Oil works for what ever they are used for. There are so many different chemical constituents in one single oil, maybe hundreds. They all contribute to the effect of the oil as a whole. This is the same way that herbs work. Although there has been much more research into constituents of herbs yet standardization (no don't go there) of one or two constituents of a particular herb detracts from the overall synergy of the herb (Yes I went there sorry). The same works for the Essential Oils. There are quite a few oils that are good for bruising. Helichrysum is a very good one as well. I have yet to find any data on which constituents in Essential Oils do what or have what effect on the human body. If any one out there knows of where to find this data, I'm all ears! ) I am sorry if I was unable to answer your question to your satisfaction. Most of the data on Oils comes from practical use by everyday people. Just the way most of the data on herbs came about.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hi Don...There are two books you might be interested in. Both by the same author...Kurt Schnaubelt. Medical Aromatherapy Healing With Essential Oils and Advanced Aromatherapy The Science of Essential Oil Therapy. If you were to only get one, go with the first one. It pretty much has the same stuff in it that the second one does...and more. As a matter of fact, at first I did not realize both books were by the same author, and when I got to the second book...I saw all the same info word for word and thought (I wonder if the author of the first one knows about this, LOL) Anywhooo...these books go into detail on the chemical properties of essential oils and why certain properties work well with others. Most of the books I have give 'recipes' which started to get on my nerves. I have tons of books with thousands of recipes and didn't know what made one recipe better than the other. It wasn't until recently that I acquired these books and things started to click. The oils are listed by chemical properties, so it's a little hard to follow until you begin to realize what oil belongs to what group (most books list oils in alphabetical order) Helicrysum (Everlast) is a Sesquiterpene hydrocarbon... Known for its ablitity to dissipate free radicals and protect tissue. It is also an Ester...relaxing to the nervous system, balancing, and loosens tension. Everlast has an antihematoma and skin-regenerating property, so it is perfect for bruises. If you are studying aromatherapy...I highly recommend these books. There is nothing worse than having a thousand books on the practical uses for aromatherapy that go on to tell you what to do without telling you why.
