Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi Dorey, Glad to see you on the list. :-) > Hello to everyone. I'm new to the group and have been enjoying the > emails. I met Butch through a friend and am so glad that I have. Me too .. great to have you here. Its all a part of life's big circle methinks. I met Dorey's friends .. a super-nice couple .. last summer while they were in Friendsville running the rapids. Friendsville, MD has a population of 597 except for weekends and holidays when a couple of hundred out of town folks come to ride the river. > The oils that I have bought from Butch have been much higher quality > than those I have purchased from YLiving and other sources. It was > my lucky day when I placed my first order. And - oh - the Jasmine. > So sweet. Thank you Butch. Welcome fer'shur and I thank you ma'am for the kind words .. which are as sweet to my ears as the Jasmine is to my olfactory. ;-) > At present, I'm using Helichrysum, Cistus and Lavender on some very > deep scar tissue in my hand. I use it twice a day at least - 3-4 times > if I'm home. I cut my thumb to the bone last May. As I'm an artist > and woodworker, that's real serious stuff for me. These oils, applied > one at a time and followed with Tamanu (a recommendation from my health > food store) oil have done wonders and my surgeon (who doesn't believe in > that " stuff " ) is amazed. On the surface, the scars are difficult to > notice. It's the deep scars that are now the issue. When you say you apply the Tamanu following application of the other oils .. one at a time .. you mean following application of the other oils in some form of dilution .. am I right? > I still have so much scar tissue in my thumb that it is difficult to > bend it. Although it seems to be slowly breaking down (I'm very > determined for all the obvious reasons), any recommendations would be > welcome. I'm trying to avoid a second surgery. Smarter folks than me will (I'm sure) comment on this .. but a personal testimonial I can give. I've had two such cuts on my left hand. The first in 1969 and it was jagged .. lost some tissue. Of course, the damaged tissue didn't heal and was replaced by connective tissue that still forces my middle finger to turn to left when I curl my fingers. It bothered me a couple of years but then I adjusted and now the only thing I notice is the curling and there is no loss of function. The other cut was in 1972 .. across the top joint .. and though a heavy scar remains I overcome mobility restriction within about the same time. What I'm saying is that we do overcome such restrictions .. methinks. > Thanks and blessings to all. > Dorey Again .. welcome to the best list on the Net .. and keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com PS: Lots of folks have visited us in Friendsville .. if any of you are passing down Highway 68 in the Appalachian Mountains .. in that finger betwixt WV and PA .. we are at Exit 4 .. in a nice green valley cut by a whitewater river .. not far from the West By Gawd Virginny line. Stop in and say Howdy. Coming into town you cross the bridge and 150 yards or so up we're located .. across from the bank. Can't miss us less'n you blink your eyes .. then you'll probably miss the whole dang town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apply a very small amount of each and let it completely absorb before I start the next one. I've used them this way for many years. Do you recommend otherwise? Come to think of it, Basil is the only oil that I dilute as it is too strong for me. > > I still have so much scar tissue in my thumb that > it is difficult to > > bend it.

This is interfering with something that I am passionate about - my art. Osculations. Dorey ps - I'll stop by the next time I come through Friendsville.
