Why is it the smallest scrapes and cuts seem to hurt the worst?! I remember slicing my finger on a cardboard box and thought my finger would fall off it hurt so bad. But it was barely a scratch. Splinters are no exception. Those stupid little jerks hurt! And are harder than heck to pull out - I mean dig out, cause half the time you gotta dig. Which is so pleasant. haha
Well guess what? There's an oil for that! Tried and true my friends. Just a dab of Lavender is all you need. I'm sure it may vary a bit as far as how long it takes, but eventually it will work it's way to the surface. I put a dab on a splinter on my husband's palm. Mind you he has some pretty thick skin full of calluses so I thought it would at least take a day. But within an hour it started to have a little fluid come out, so then I dug in hard with my nails and squeezed it like a pimple and that sucker literally popped out. The whole thing. No tweezers needed or painful digging. I've never seen a splinter come out like that. It was awesome. If it's really painful, try adding some Onguard or Clove on it. Clove will numb it a bit (which is in Onguard). You probably don't need to squeeze it like I did. I'm sure if you keep applying Lavender a couple times a day it will eventually work itself to the surface to be pulled out.
Way Awesome Post! Thank you so much for sharing!! I'm using your method of the Lavender oil tonight with a possible glass splinter. Haha..good luck to me! Well, not too much luck, I know our doTERRA oils powerfully work on whatever challenges they meet!!
ReplyDeleteOMG This totally worked!! I just had a tiny sliver in my foot (tiny, but VERY painful). I soaked my foot first to soften the skin, then put two drops of Lavender oil on a band-aid and left it for about 15 mins. I had to poke around it for a second with a needle to get the oil actually INTO the hole where the sliver was, but it did just that...it POPPED out!! OMG thank you so much for this solution, it's such a relief. I'll have to remember this for next time.
