Bruises? Bumps? Bruise-Be-Gone: Banish Bumps & Bruises with Essential Oils Heres a go-to remedy for bumps and bruises: doTerra’s Deep Blue Oil & Rub, and Geranium Oil. Testimonial (from Yankee Homestead): When my son acquires one of his frequent goose eggs on the noggin, I immediately apply a drop of Geranium Oil followed by a tiny amount of Deep Blue Rub, gently massaging each into the skin. On that recent day when Little Brother incurred three separate injuries to the head, I was present for only one of them. Deep Blue to the Rescue It was late afternoon on a Saturday. His forehead had smacked the edge of his brother’s antique, solid wood bed frame. A large, ugly, blue lump was beginning to form, along with a cut. I immediately applied the oils. Shortly afterwards, he said it felt better. Mr. Native Texan and I were headed out for Date Night, so I wasn’t present when he twice more bumped his head! The next morning, not even 24 hours after the first bump, the bruise was completely gone. No discoloration, no lump. The cut was still there, but was healing up nicely. The two, more minor bumps for which I was not present, however, were discolored and swollen! Another, separate incident, this time involving Yours Truly: I dropped a frozen container straight out of the freezer, from about shoulder height, directly onto my middle toe. Oh, the pain! We’re talking writhing on the floor issuing forth tears and exclamations of agony. (It’s perhaps relevant to mention here that Mr. Native Texan thinks I have a high pain tolerance. I’m not exactly sure what this is based on, or how to prove or disprove it, but for what it’s worth…) Is This for Real? As soon as I regained composure–while the boys sat in their chairs at the dining room table, staring into the kitchen with mouths agape–I grabbed the Deep Blue Oil and the Rub and applied a drop of the oil, and then a tiny bit of the Rub. It was one of those amazing, Is This For Real? moments. Like someone had given me a shot of Novocaine. The pain was gone! Now, not all of our EO experiences are quite so miraculous. Some treatments take much longer to produce an effect. But for bumps and bruises, we’ve found nothing more safe, effective and with such speedy results than Geranium Oil and Deep Blue Oil & Rub. Deep Blue Explanation: doTerra’s Deep Blue Soothing Oil Blend is a combination of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, blue tansy, blue chamomile, helichrysum and osmanthus, meant to be applied topically to ease achy joints and sore muscles.
