Quick Twisted Ankle Relief

I’m doing a vendor booth for Doterra oils this weekend at the American Family Festival.  I went to a meeting this morning, on last minute details and learned that Lena Hughes, mom of the Hughes Brothers (largest performing family in the world, from Branson, MI) had twisted her ankle last night.

When the meeting ended, I pulled out a bottle of Vickie’s “Cuts and Bruises” oil and dripped it all over her swollen ankle.  After a couple minutes, she was very surprised to report that it felt better.

When you’re running a HUGE event, you want to at least be able to walk around, right?

I happened to have an extra Dr. Mom kit in my car, so I grabbed Doterra’s “Deep Blue” oil blend out of it (which is specifically for pain relief and inflammation) and we poured that on.  She was even more amazed at the difference it quickly made.  I told her to reapply every half hour, and maybe she’d have less difficulty walking tomorrow.

What do you know? She asked me if my booth would be the first aid station for the weekend.

Guess, I’d better go buy some band-aids…
