Reflex area:

Work the area of the abscess on the foot.  You will also want to work the lymphatic system (the outside, top, and inside of the foot, along with the reflex of the spleen and thymus gland)

Energy work:

Do a two-point on the area.

Depending on where the abscess is would depend on which chakra is associated.  But an abscess of the mouth/tooth would be associated with the throat chakra.  And you would just want to balance that chakra.

Healing Stones:

·         Blue lace agate

·         Opal

·         Amethyst

·         Smoky quarts

Emotions that may cause the problem:

·         Fermenting thoughts over hurts, slights, and revenge.  New thought pattern for this is:  I allow my thoughts to be free.  The past is over.  I am at peace. ⁴

·         Seething; unresolved hurt feelings. ⁵

·         Wanting revenge. ⁵

·         Festering feelings. ⁵

·         Stagnation. ⁵

·         Holding on to an old concept. ⁵

Other remedies:

Take a slice of peeled potato (about 1 in. thick) and place it over the abscess or boil and secure it there with tape. Leave it on there for a couple hours and it will pull the poison out. You can see the poisons on the potato.

Apply a cloth soaked in one part lobelia and three parts mullein in warm water to bring the affected area to a head. Puncture lightly with a sterilized needle, and wash gently. Garlic oil will help defend against infection. Apply vitamin E oil twice a day to speed the healing process.

B-complex, lecithin, and zinc will defend against future sores.

Apply wintergreen oil, cayenne extract, or a strong comfrey root tea. This will help bring the affected area to a head and aid in drying and mending the abscess or boil. Top of Form
