Douglas Fir Testimonials and Recipes
"Bursitis is inflammation pure and simple. Any oil that works against
inflammation will help if used topically on the area that the bursitis is.
There are little fluid filled sacs between your joints where normally bone
would rub on bone when the bones are flexed, these sacs are called bursas.
The Latin term "itis" means inflammation thus - bursitis is inflammation of
the bursas. It can be remedied with oils, supplements, massage, Reiki and
patience." Frank Seeley
