Myrrh Essential Oil Supporting Tissue Repair, Testimonial

I have used myrrh essential oil so many times for my inflamed stomach, that when my friend asked me for advice, I suggested myrrh. Myrrh is a heavy essential oil, not hot, and can be used on open wounds.

Here is my friend's detailed testimonial (she forgot to mention using essential oils to support her liver, kidneys and lymph).

As promised, I'm sharing my body's response a few months ago to a dining experience.

I went to a Tai restaurant with two other people. We each had different entrées, but same appetizer and desert. The next morning I had a severe mucus condition. I coughed up a whole lot of thick mucus from my esophagus. That was only first thing when I got up. I didn't have that the rest of the day. Didn't have any nasal mucus. It was all in the esophagus. And that felt like a raw burning type sensation. Almost like when you scrape you skin and there's a burning sensation.

Thanks to your advice, I used many different essential oils that assisted my body's restoration process. I knew it was going to repair everything but sometimes we can offer some plant oils that are beneficial in that process. You suggested fennel, lemongrass, purification and several days later you added eucalyptus...that really helped. I've learned in using these oils that what works for one might not do the same for another and vice versa. So I tried them all and then stayed with what worked.

I do remember that after I finished my entrée, I had a tickling in my esophagus and had an urge to cough. But I didn't give it much thought until the next morning and then realized it was my body letting me know something wasn't setting quite right with that food.

We discussed the possibility of the mucus being a response to chemicals used in the restaurant too. At the end of our meal, a staff person was mopping the floor with some kind of chemical cleaner in a bucket right next to our table. Although I know exposure to these disinfectant chemicals can trigger respiratory responses, I now think that wasn't my particular situation. I have had that type of response in the past, though. But since this was not a respiratory response but a specific location, the esophagus, I kinda ruled out chemical toxicity this time. That reminds me, I also used RC essential oil because I, at first, thought it was respiratory in nature.

At one point you suggested using myrrh because that is a little more dense and would cling better than some of the others when I put it under my tongue and on the back of my tongue to get down into the esophagus. But then you said I should try using it before bed when I wouldn't be eating or drinking anything afterwards. That made such good sense. Oh my gosh! I never thought of that. When I used it during the day, of course I was either eating something or drinking something which interfered with its effectiveness.

Well, that did it. I finally stopped feeling that raw sensation in the esophagus. The coughing stopped...well, mostly. A little bit when I first woke up in the morning but not like before.

Anyway, that's about all I can recall. I found out one of the others I was with that night also had a lot of mucus response the next morning, too. But not the third person. Reactions to foods can be immediate and noticeable or subtle or seemingly not at all. But if there's some toxic substance in the food, the body will react now or at some point later. There's no such thing as no reaction to a toxic substance entering the body. It seems like there's no reaction because it's so subtle, but it's there.

Thanking you again, my wise friend!
