Richard Gomes: Yes Dr. Graves, my ankle has been swollen for a week now and it’s very painful.
Dr. Graves: Using essential oils to remedy a swollen ankle as a natural healing aid, can be a pleasant and gentle experience that yields benefits beyond the actual healing of the ailment. Ankles have many reasons for swelling, including Varicose veins, high blood pressure, arthritis, fluid retention, rheumatism, and constipation. Having your ankles swell, can be a very painful and uncomfortable experience. While there are many other natural therapies to address the condition. Aromatherapy’s essential oils are good ones to use.
Richard Gomes: Thank you, Dr. Graves.
Dr. Graves: I know Mr. Gomes, you want relief hahaha, not a lecture on your condition, but it’s important for you to know and understand your condition. Now this is what I recommend:
Utilizing a pebble bath
Use a bowl with some round pebbles or marbles in it. Fill it with warm water, then go ahead and add:
Cypress 1 drop
Lavender 1 drop
Start rolling your feet at a slow pace over the pebbles/marbles for a few minutes at a time before drying your feet. Next begin massaging your feet to start, then work your way up the ankles towards the knees (massage behind the knees as well). You’re going to do all this massaging with the following oils:
Fennel 1 drop
Cypress 1 drop
Dilute the oils in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
For swollen ankles in hotter temperatures, before massaging anything, place a piece of ice in a plastic bag and rub it behind the knee areas until they start feeling very cold. Now start rubbing the soles of your feet with it.
Richard Gomes: I’ll do that today, doctor.
Dr. Graves: Good! I’ll walk you down to the nurse, she’ll supply you with all the essential oils needed and provide you with a copy of the recommended listing.
