[Everything doTERRA] Re: Infected thumb

Soak your hand in 2 cups hot water(as hot as you can stand) with 1/4
cup epsom salts until the water cools to room temperature two times a
day for about a week --it might be less time. After the infection is
pulled out and your skin looks healthy again. do the recommendations
of the essential oils.

I tried oils first, but by the time I started them it had progressed so quickly the pain was out of control, and I was desperate. Anyway, it's better, but it still hurts pretty bad. I was reading in the Modern Essentials book trying to decide what I could use on it to speed up the healing process. The problem is I can't decide which category it falls under.

I'm out of On Guard, Deep Blue and a couple others. I did just open a box of the trio oils that I had been saving to use as a give-a-way or something because I was out of Lavender and burned my OTHER thumb on the oven later in the evening the same day I went to the doctor. So I have plenty of Lavender, Peppermint and Lemon. But any other suggestions on what to do to control the pain and speed up the healing are much appreciated.
