Ganglion Cyst

For about a year, I have had this lump on my wrist. I'm not sure when I first noticed it. It didn't bother me so I just ignored it. When I was at the doctor for something else I said hey, can you look at this thing on my wrist while I'm here?

Turns out it's a Ganglion Cyst (AKA Bob). The doctor said options were to drain it but it would come back. Or if it really bothered me, it could be cut out (Ew) and he didn't recommend that unless it was really necessary.

So I started looking around the Internet to see if there were any essential oils I could use on it. Ended up with equal parts Frankincense and Lemongrass. I put some in a roller bottle and mixed some into a salve recipe I use. When I'm sitting at my desk working, I put some salve on Bob and carry the roller bottle in my purse to use whenever I think about it.

Well that was about 3-4 months ago and now Bob is so small that today when I went to put on the salve, I had to really push around on my wrist to find him.

It's amazing what those "magical" oils will do.  ;)
