Bite your tongue? Essential oils can heal it practically overnight.
Bit my tongue the other day OUCH! on my way out to an appointment, so didn’t have time to put essential oils on immediately.

Essential Oils to the Rescue for a Tongue Bite!
When I got home, used my go-to remedy: GERMAN CHAMOMILE essential oil to reduce inflammation. But the bite seemed mildly infected and still was bothering me the next morning. So I dabbed on a touch of Young Living THIEVES essential oil blend to kill any hint of infection. That did the trick!
My tender tongue was MUCH better the following day. Decided to continue with alternating a touch of GERMAN CHAMOMILE with COPAIBA essential oil ~ both of which are mild and strongly anti-inflammatory ~ to reduce the little bump and speed the healing in three days, rather than the normal week or so it takes most bitten tongues to get better.

Young Living Copaiba therapeutic-quality essential oil is excellent for healing wounds, fungal infections, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation.
Used as a traditional folk medicine for nearly 800 years and still sold in Amazonian pharmacies, COPAIBA was also listed in the US Pharmacopeia for [Read more…]
