Bruised Big Toes

I bruised both my big toes recently. They were tender, but it took 5 days for the bruise coloring to actually appear. I applied Lavender, Peppermint, and Animal Scents Ointment and immediately felt a tingly sensation under my toenails.

Lavender

I remember when I was a kid and smelled lavender for the first time. I was anticipating it because I'd read and heard how fragrant and lovely it was. Of course, I was expecting to smell something delightful like it had been described to me in my favorite stories. Instead, the first thought that came across my mind was how awful it actually smelled. It was a big let down and I couldn't understand how anyone could say that that smelled good.
