Thumb shred

What can I say but its been a wonderful and amazing experience witnessing these beautiful DoTerra Essential Oils healing my shredded thumb in just a matter of weeks. It is absolutely a miracle to have this testimony! I also know it is something I need to share. Now that my thumb is almost healed and the injury is a few days shy of being 3 weeks, I am telling my story!

It began on any other Friday evening where I was preparing dinner for my hubby, who was on his way home from delivering Viva produce to our customers (who are awesome). I have been on this kick with raw vegan pasta and my is amazing! I was shredding carrots with a regular hand held shredder when all of a sudden my thumb felt really strange. It was immediate that my brain recognized what happened. As I covered my thumb with a towel and started to apply pressure, I knew it wasn't that bad...so I looked!

Oh my goodness!!!!! Holy whipper snappers! I shredded my thumb nail completely off! The blood was gushing from the wound. It really didn't hurt yet. I applied pressure and kept calm. I did really well until I realized I needed help stopping the blood. It was flowing too quickly for me to stop it without using Helicrysum which I was out of. I called Darius to tell him to rush home that I had hurt myself really bad. Then I called Natalie my friend and mentor especially with the oils. She kept me on the line as she called Geniel, who I had noticed was at Natasha and Colten's house just a few blocks away when I was on my walk with my daddy and Angie. Geniel, Natasha and Colten had Helicrysum and Geniel drove over...So Thankful for her being in the neighborhood!

We applied the Hylicrysum and within a few drops it stopped! So grateful for this amazing oil! It should be in every firstaid kit and in every home. This is a must to have in your oil arsenal. After stopping the blood we were able to apply different oils for healing. I will write all of these oils in a list and the reason why. I used several and because of these I had no pain and healed in record time!

I was then able to have Geranium and Lavender put on it and those are amazing painkillers! I used seven to eight oils that helps control blood, pain, progress in the healing process. It was absolutely phenomenal on what happened within 12 hours my nail looked amazing! It didn't look as bad or is scary as i had thought it would. I had no pain throughout the whole time.

It took a total of 3 months for the nail to grow out. I kept it bandaged for 4 weeks at the beginning because I kept banging it on things. I had no pain so I did things like normal. I am so grateful for that. I have been having some amazing experiences but by far this was my top experience on using the oils for healing and watching it before my eyes. 

As you can see with these photos...

 

 

 

This last picture of the thumb is about 4 weeks old. We used several oils for this healing. At the end I was using mostly DDR and Lavender. At the beginning I used a lot of oils every 20 minutes I was putting something on. Here is the list of oils I was using.

 

 





 

Addiction

https://mydopro.com/learn/library/addiction_recovery_support_handout_v1/

There are several different kinds of art heights of addiction and we all handle them differently. It is in our nature to battle something and sometimes it is ourselves. That is what addictions are. It is an inner battle concerning a weakness we may have. All addictions are serious especially for the individual dealing with them.

Now I think you know when someone is joking, but for me personally,  I have learned there is truth in what we say. For instance, we know women mostly say they are "addicted to chocolate" while that is often reacted to by laughing and giggles. This is a true statement. Chocolate had caffeine which is a stimulant. Who doesn't like a stimulant when they want to feel better or need to wake up. This is why some of us male or female cannot have chocolate.  The same with sweets or other foods.

Which brings me to an important point FOOD. I love food! I have an eating disorder and  it is a big issue with me. I love food. Even though I am a raw chef and I make crazy good food it is difficult for me not to gorge myself on my yummies. I am addicted to my food. I have grown up loving food. Comfort foods to be exact!

Not a lot of people know or think that Food addictions are real or a real battle for people.  Well I am here to tell you it is. It started when I wanted comfort in my early childhood because of being in special ed classes, parents divorce, lack of friends,  disappointment, sister almost being kidnapped, homelessness. These are just a few things that occurred in my choldhood. So yeah food it was an escape from reality because if you don't know food has a chemical sedation and those are the items I loved...meat, breads and pastas and let's not forget sugary sweets.

When I went raw vegan during my husband's cancer healing process, I was able to look at those and see the addictions I had developed through childhood. Oh how I wished that I had done things differently back them,  but as I looked at family and friends...it occurred to me they were a slave to it too. They didnt know any better either.

"Knowing is half the battle" as I have been told a dozen or so times. My question is once you know what do you do then?  Do you ignore it and hope it gets better or goes away? Well I have found a way that works really well especially when I use it. Which reminds me I need to get in that routine again. This is why I write in here, because it gets me thinking and when we think we start doing.

Anyways we needing to drink half our weight in ounces. So if I weighed 200 pounds then I need to drink DAILY 100 ounces of water. Then on top of that add Slim & Sassy into your routine. Exercise too! Go for a walk. Go to a market, mall or any place where you can stroll and walk. Life is good!

Addictions are hard but not impossible.  They can be overcome. It's not going to be done in the snap of your fingers but over time it will be less of a temptation.

In our Modern Essential's book is a whole section concerning addictions.  Looked it up! Know it. It's amazing to he things that you will notice and when some one says or does something that triggers you into action. YOU will know how the EOs will be able to help them.

Any part of our lives that follow these forms of addiction are an addiction. This is a way we can start to eliminating addictions that are harmful to our physical and spiritual well-being. Let us all take note of these addictions in our lives and seek out help when needed.
