[Everything doTERRA] Re: Gout

This is what we did for my husband that worked great. It cleared his
attack up in under 24 hours. They usually last at least 3 days. Also
he is drinking lemon in the water, I forgot to include that in the
blog. http://naturallivingmamma.com/2012/02/25/how-to-topically-relieve-gout-pain-with-essential-oils/

Just a quick post about my husband's gout. He is currently having a
gout attack in his knee. He gets gout often due to an old kidney
problem he had when he was younger. If you have suffered gout you know
it is extremely painful, especially when it attacks a new joint, which
it is in his case.

We are doing our best to avoid unnecessary medications (like
hydrocodone) and were looking for a good way to treat the gout pain
while his body fights the gout.

So, to treat gout pain we used essential oils of Frankincense, Basil,
Geranium, and Peppermint. 2 drops each on the effected area about
every 4 hours. After applying we put a hot pack (rice pack) on his
knee. He says it helps his pain a lot and is helping him avoid needing
the heavy duty pain killers.

He is also taking an epsom salt bath with baking soda to help leech
some of the uric acid out of his leg. Lets hope he is mobile by
tomorrow!

UPDATE:

After 24 hours of the gout attack start up, with the use of essential
oils and the baking soda/Epsom salt bath, the attack has stopped. His
knee is still sore from the damage from the gout crystals but the
attack, which usually lasts about three days, has let up! He is amazed
that it worked and I am glad to have had my husband back to help clean
the house today. YAY!
