Lemongrass is amazing. What is nice is that it is so inexpensive for being such a potent oil. Definitely you should have that in the mix. I also have had good success with helichrysum and marjoram – also frankincense. (I have heard White Fir is poor man’s frankincense.) I too was going to suggest birch. We are thinking the same here. ~Debbie

Subject: Re: [Everything doTERRA] Knee inflammation
Hey Dave & Kerry,
Did you have a meniscus tear ? If not, what was the reason for the scope ?
Personally, I stay away from anything anti-inflammatory from the doctors/ OTC and that includes staying away from ice if I can. The inflammation is part of your bodies natural healing process. Since white tissue has little or no blood flow, it's the inflammation that brings the building blocks (the material) to repair that tissue. They're called fibroblasts and this creates a "pea soup" around the injury to initiate the healing process.
What has worked best for me is lemongrass, clove, helichrysum, white fir and marjoram. It has helped me from having to go through a complete knee reconstruction. You may also want to try birch a try instead of wintergreen. Layering peppermint last should help if the injury isn't too deep inside the knee.
Let me know if you have any more questions. Hope that helps.
Pete

I had my right knee scoped about 18 months ago, and was doing really
well until I took a rough hike while seeing some of the Nez Perce
battle sites. Since then (six weeks ago), my knee has been swollen and
painful. My orthopedist wanted to give me a cortisone shot, but I
declined; he left, saying I'd be back when the pain got bad enough.
I've tried wintergreen, and wintergreen and lavendar, but am not
getting much help. Maybe some of you have some suggestions. Thanks.
