Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hello! I'm new to the list. I'm Sue, from Indiana. A friend of mine got me interested in essential oils a few years ago, and just recently when I found out I would be having surgery I got REAL interested! I've been trying/using a lot of oils in the recovery process and learning a lot. Another friend (Becky) has been encouraging me & giving me some GREAT bath salts and candles, and also gave me Butch's site. (Thanks, Becky!! After a couple of orders and several questions Butch encouraged me to join the list. So here I am! (Thanks, Butch!! I'm really impressed with the information I've seen so far. A LOT of good expertise here! My main interests are, First, suggestions for Oils for long term recovery from surgery (hysterectomy, about 7 weeks out now). Doing well but at this point my doctor (who really did a great job to this point) has absolutely nothing to offer to optimize the long-term healing process. At 6-8 weeks you're pronounced " healed " and " ready to go back to work " , " off restrictions " and all that, and out of the OTHER side of their mouths you hear that healing will take the better part of the next 11 months or so. I know that even though I'm doing well, my body is still going through a lot of changes and I've still got a ways to go to truely get back to " normal " (if there is such a thing!! And, I'm REALLY interested in cooking with essential oils. I've tried a little bit-- I made some GREAT tuna salad with olive oil, tarragon, oregano, basil, black pepper. And I've used some of the same for bread dips and dressings. I'm really interested to hear more ideas, recipes and experiences with this! Thanks so much! --Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
