Less is not always more!

The past week has been a week of ridiculous injuries for me. I have been very thankful for my oils this week. This post will be about my first injury of the week, but I can't truly explain it until you meet our loveable beast.

Picture: Addy

Above is our 85 lbs. Labradoodle that I adore. Addy was rolling on her back the other day just begging for a belly scratch. As I was bending down to pet her... I sneezed and the absurd happened. Can you believe I threw out my back while bending over, petting my dog and sneezing?

I grew up idolizing my dad and thinking he could only be compared to Superman (I still do!). At 50 he could throw plywood onto the roof in one effortless swoop and leave the 20 year old helping him baffled! However, every Superman has his Krypotonite. My dad would often throw out his back doing the most absurd things, like picking up a piece of paper (True story). So I guess unbelieveable back injuries run in the family... thanks Dad! (Side note: Dad has not thrown out his back in years after some acupuncture and chiropractic treatments... I guess unconventional treatments run in the family, too!)

Back to my back injury, I had a pre-made roller ball of diluted Deep Blue. I began rolling that stuff all over my back! I have used this solution on minor aches and pains and it has worked great. However, this time I began questioning my oils because my back had me feeling like I was 80 years old! I then had a moment of brilliance (rare, I know!) and decided to apply the Deep Blue neat! It worked like a charm! Lesson learned, less is not always more and sometimes you need the good stuff! My back feels much better thanks to Deep Blue applied NEAT!  

Happy oil using!- Amy
