Butch's First Aid Kit

[Guest guest]

Well..shoo....Butch I don't feel so clueless now about some of the oils I've

bought from you with you having no idea what I intended them for. Gotta go

learn about that euc blue gum now

 

And look at that before I even got to other posts I did go and think on using

the rose otto (in hydrosol form though)...all by myself.

 

Thank you again Martin for your course on EO safety!!

 

It is because of both of you that I feel assured about experimenting wisely for

myself.

But since the child is

still in intensive care, undergoing a series of skin grafts, is sedated

and on pain killers, odds are no doctor will care about recommendations

for physical treatment from other folks anyway.

 

As for the emotional aspects .. there is a wide range of oils that could

be effective .. if the child likes them. Like Rose Otto or Lavender or

most any nice smelling EO.

There are two cases where I personally believe that neat use of EO is

justified .. knowing full well that there is a certain amount of risk.

One is the application of Lavender following a burn .. and the other is

if I get a bad wound while out in the wild I will use neat Oregano EO on

it every time .. did it in the Gila National Forest last summer when I

stupidly sliced my hand while preparing a catfeesh for the frying pan.

 

This contradicts the logical and safe warnings that I and other folks

have harped on for years regarding not using EO on an open wound. And

its a judgment call each individual must make for them self .. but in

these two first aid situations .. I will choose to use the above two EO

neat if I don't have a carrier with me.

 

When I'm out fishing, camping, backpacking or whenever I'm away from

civilization I have five EO with me .. Lavender, Oregano, Rosemary,

Cineole, Rose Otto and Eucalyptus, Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus) ..

that is my first aid kit.
