Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I usually lurk & learn but had to share this. I burned my arm last night frying eggs - the grease rolled down my arm - I was in some pain until after dinner. I went downstairs and got out some emu oil and poured it in a bowl and added a few drops of heli eo. Within minutes the burning stopped! This morning all ther is is red marks. no burning or anything - I'm impressed. I've used emu in creams and lotions before but this is my first experience with heli - it was just a little expensive - but well worth it!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Helichrysum is an amazing healing oil. Whenever I bump the table corner (or whatever), and I'm in that awful pain the first few minutes, I gently massage heli, and sometimes lavender, also, into the area.....instantly the pain is gone. It never ceases to amaze me. Christy - Jan Gifford Friday, April 25, 2003 6:22 AM emu & helichrysum I usually lurk & learn but had to share this.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 That is so true. I smashed a finger in the hinge side of a door, and it was throbbing and bleeding. I could hardly breathe! One drop of helichrysum rubbed around it for 23 seconds, and the pain was gone. Kat christy [fufuno1] Friday, April 25, 2003 7:36 AM Re: emu & helichrysum Helichrysum is an amazing healing oil.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Christy: I don't have any emu but can a person use heli straight or should it be diluted? I do have some other oils I could use and now that I am working more outside, I generally get in a fight with a shrub, etc. Yesterday it was my yard rake and it put quite a 'v' cut just above my wrist. I did use peroxide to boil out any germs. Boy did it bleed! Effie >Helichrysum is an amazing healing oil.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 Effie... To be 100% safe, all eo's should be dilluted in carrier before applying to the skin. I generally have not used the oils much for open cuts and wounds, although they can be useful for such injuries. My dilema has always been what to dillute them in before applying to the cut. Using a vegetable oil seemed strange.....I guess my thinking was the vegetable oil might interfere with the healing, somehow. I was thinking about this the other day, and perhaps using commercial witch hazel as the dilluting agent for open wounds would work fine. there's a bit of alcohol in this product, and the oils would dissolve fairly well in that, then you could wash the wound with a solution of witch hazel and your chosen eo's (tea tree, lavender, etc.) What do the rest of you use for cuts and scratches? christy - Effie Humburg Saturday, April 26, 2003 11:47 AM Re: emu & helichrysum Christy: I don't have any emu but can a person use heli straight or should it be diluted?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi, I'm new to this group! Just joined, I'm into AT and make massage creams and lotions. I'm also really interested in Herbs, and have a lot to learn! Anyway, I would want something VERY steril and stable.for cuts, like Frac Coconut, or perhapse some jojoba ro shea butter. I wouldn't want risk something bad coming from the oil. Remember scratches are a good way for an oil to get into your blood stream and increasing you chances of getting sensitized to it. Heli's great, but do you find it give you *really* wierd dreams? David Roman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
