I wanted to show you the value of the ‘Essential Oils Desk Reference’ – available at http://www.lifesciencepublishers.com The following is an excerpt demonstrating how this reference book is worth its weight in gold in terms of determining what to do and how to do it in regards to Young Living Essential Oils. This excerpt for the EODR is one of thousands that we refer to when using our Young Living Essential Oils.
Edema (Ankle Swelling)
Swelling, particularly around the ankles, is noticeable when fluids accumulate in the tissue. This puffiness under the skin and around the ankles can be more apparent at the end of the day when fluids settle to the lowest part of the body. Also, a potassium deficiency can make swelling worse, so the first recourse is to increase potassium intake.

Using Juniper essential oil helps flush the kidneys to better eliminate excess water.
