Palo Santo Oil
Knee Pain
“About 7 months ago, I started experiencing pain all around my left knee a few days after I went skiing. Since I’d never before experienced chronic body pain, I assumed it would go away. After about a month, it still hadn’t passed, so I tried using PanAway.
If anything, the added “heat” from applying PanAway aggravated the knee so I stopped using any oils and would occasionally take an ibuprofen after long walks or time on my feet. I became more conscious of how I was using the knee and I avoided any positions or activities which I thought might hurt it.
Regardless, the pain persisted…
After another couple months, I went to see my primary physician, who told me I had tendonitis, which had likely been aggravated by the skiing.
I was told not to do any stretching exercises (which meant discontinuing daily yoga), but that I should start swimming and/or using a recumbent bicycle, to “retrain” the ligaments and tendons into proper alignment.
She explained to me that otherwise, the ligaments and tendons would build up compensatory scar tissue in a misaligned fashion. Well, I didn’t have a pool or a bike, and though I finally bought a bike, I have yet to use it. Fast forward another few months.
A couple of days ago, I bought a bottle of Palo Santo, which is an essential oil of a South American tree commonly known as “Holy Wood.”
Within a few minutes after applying the oil, the constant pain I was experiencing disappeared. I applied the oil one more time, the next day, just for good measure. Four days later, I’m happy and amazed to report that the pain hasn’t reappeared.
There’s still sensitivity if I stretch the knee at oblique angles, but all of the chronic pain is gone. Wow! I always read testimonials with a degree of skepticism.
This was no “miracle cure for cancer” or the like, but I would strongly recommend that folks with tendonitis give Palo Santo a try. I’ll report back in a week or two. –Robert
Back and Pelvis issues…
I just got back from my three month follow up with my primary care physician. I had a bone density done a month ago and she was very impressed with the 2.5% improvement in my spine and my 3.3% improvement in my left femur.
She said the medication must be working. I had been on it 3 months and maybe took 8 doses and topped taking it three months ago. and since it was a once a week dose I frequently forgot to take it. I said no I stopped taking it because of how I reacted to it with major gas/stomach problems.
Then she asked what had I done to make these changes…
I told her i’d been putting Palo Santo on my back and pelvic region as well as on the wrist I broke 5 years ago. I found when I applied it to my wrist that it felt as if the wrist were trying to straighten up. It felt magical.
So, smart one that I am, I applied it to my back and pelvis to help a break I had in 1965.
She was amazed.
