When I found out I’d need surgery, I braced myself for a challenging recovery. While modern medicine would play a crucial role, I wanted to complement it with natural, holistic support. Being a doTERRA wellness advocate, I knew my essential oil toolkit would be key. Here’s how I used these incredible products to support my healing process.
The First 3 Days: Post-Surgery Care with Correct-X
The first 72 hours post-surgery were all about gentle and effective care. My incision needed protection and soothing, so I turned to doTERRA Correct-X Ointment, a multi-purpose, petroleum-free balm infused with healing oils like Frankincense, Tea Tree, Cedarwood, Lavender, and Helichrysum.
Each morning and evening, I applied a thin layer of Correct-X to the incision site. Its smooth, non-sticky formula was easy to use and brought instant relief, keeping the area moisturized and protected from irritation. By supporting my skin’s natural repair process, it also minimized the appearance of redness and discomfort.
Long-Term Support with Immortelle, Rose Touch, and Helichrysum Touch
Once my initial recovery was underway, I shifted my focus to long-term healing and scar minimization. That’s when I started incorporating Immortelle, Rose Touch, and Helichrysum Touch into my daily routine.
Immortelle: Nurturing Skin Renewal
Immortelle, doTERRA’s anti-aging blend, became a staple in my routine. This powerhouse blend of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Myrrh, and Rose oils is known for promoting radiant, healthy-looking skin. Each night, I rolled a small amount over the healing area, letting its potent ingredients support the natural regeneration process.
Rose Touch: A Soothing Luxury
Rose oil is a natural wonder for skin and emotional well-being. I gently applied Rose Touch around the incision to nourish the delicate skin while enjoying its calming aroma. This ritual felt like an act of self-care, reminding me to embrace my healing journey with patience and love.
Helichrysum Touch: The Gold of Healing
Helichrysum, often called the \”Immortal Flower,\” is renowned for its skin-repairing and soothing properties. I used Helichrysum Touch twice daily to support tissue repair and reduce any lingering sensitivity. Its restorative effects complemented the other oils beautifully, creating a holistic approach to healing.
Reflections on a Holistic Recovery
Now, almost 2 weeks after surgery, I’m amazed by the progress my body has made. My scar is healing beautifully, and the discomfort I once felt has diminished significantly. By combining doTERRA’s natural products with my doctor’s guidance, I’ve supported my body in a way that felt both effective and empowering.
I am so very grateful that for me the “suspicious spot” was on my face. It was something I could see and I was able to have a good result because I was aware. Please my friends, if you have the gut feeling that you should get to a dermatologist and get a body scan- JUST DO IT! Check your skin often, use skin protection when out in the sun and don’t make excuses for \”little\” things because they could turn into big things.
If you’re looking for natural ways to enhance your bodies healing process, these oils can be a wonderful addition to your routine. Always consult with your healthcare provider, and remember, healing takes time—be kind to yourself every step of the way.
