So we’re going to talk a lot about thieves, mostly because a lot of you are sol interested in that, and why shouldn’t you be? A personal experience just for me YESTERDAY is my thumb. I was digging a hole outside last week, it was the day of our first snow fall here in Williamsburg, Ma. At the end of the day I noticed a couple of small cracks on my right thumb. I thought nothing of it as they were just cracks from the dry air, so I thought.
It turns out that a week later it was infected, RED and very, very swollen. I tried washing, peroxide, alcohol (yes, rubbing), and anything that wasn’t terribly harmful. I also tried lavender oil since it’s great for cuts and abrasions, and even burns. Well, since my thumb was already infected, the lavender wasn’t doing anything really, so I didn’t know what to do.
Then I though of my mantra, “Thieves kills bad things”. So I applied two drops every 15 to 30 minutes for the evening and the next day and POOF! Within the first 30 minutes the swelling went way down, and the pain was just about GONE! I mean, this went from absolute, mind numbing pain when I bumped my thumb into something to being able to press on it with very little pain at all.
Now, a day and a half later, the crack is on it’s way to healing instead of splitting open even more, which is what it was doing. Thank you Gary Young and your blessed Thieves oil!
