Essential Mishaps

With my plantar fasciitis and absolutely no desire for certain invasive treatments, I looked online for natural remedies, particularly advice on what essential oils would be helpful in addition to the proverbial stretching exercises and ice packs. So after reading one blog on the successful treatment of Essential Lemongrass Oil on someone else, I broke out my coconut oil and Lemongrass, having decided to try and make a salve with Lemongrass instead of "massage oil." So I put a shot glass of coconut oil in a bowl of hot water straight out of the tap. Well, after a few minutes the coconut oil still wasn't completely liquid, so I turned the kettle on and waited for the water to heat up. Once it was hot, I attempted to pull the shot glass out of the bowl so I could replace the now-lukewarm water with the hot kettle water, and the shot glass slipped out of my fingers and back into the bowl, mixing the half-melted coconut oil with the warm water. "This did not just happen!" I thought. Well, thankfully all wasn't lost. The water was fine, the shot glass was clean right out of the drawer, and according to the lady's blog, I'm supposed to be taking a couple drops of Lemongrass internally as well as topically. So what do I do? I put 2 drops of Lemongrass in the oil/water mix, stir it around a bit, stand over the sink, and put that mix down as quickly as I could! Well, I guess I got my daily quota of coconut oil, as well.
