My experiences and personal experiments with Grafex:
I’ve been fortunate enough to have had access to this incredible product in a variety of forms for several years. Grafex in coconut oil and Grafex in capsule form containing coconut oil powder, as well as straight Grafex to apply topically.
The reasons I have come to depend on Grafex is due to my profession as a structural massage therapist. My hands are my career and the type of work I perform places a tremendous amount of stress on the joints and tendons in my hands. Prior to being introduced to Grafex, I suffered from pain and swelling in my wrists and finger joints, which kept me on an anti-inflammatory regime causing abdominal irritation. This led me to researching natural remedies to accomplish pain relief.
I was incredibly blessed to be introduced to Grafex! We started with straight Grafex mixed with coconut oil, testing the number of teaspoons it took to take away the discomfort in my hands. Within the first couple of days, I noticed a difference in discomfort, which continued to decline the longer I took it!
I also noticed that I had an increase in energy and, was I imaging that I had more mental clarity? I don’t know but it certainly felt that way! I continued with this product since it was the best resolve to my situation.
As if it couldn’t get much better, a couple of years later I was introduced to Grafex in capsule form. I was told to stop the Grafex in oil for a couple of days to test the difference. Well, the pain in my hands and wrists was back without a doubt, but more in an achy form. Was not quite the pain that I had experienced pre Grafex.
I took my first Grafex capsule, and was shocked, that within the hour, I had NO pain. Unbelievable quite honestly! That started our search for the proper dosing which I was more than happy to be a part of the discovery!
However, during all of these discoveries, I noticed something new. My mood was affected, happier! I felt as though I had a newly developed sense of ease to handle difficulties more efficiently. Also, all my friends were asking why my skin looked better? What was I using? I see myself every day, so I couldn’t necessarily tell a difference. My main focus was preventing pain in my hands so that I could continue working.
We have since then figured the appropriate dosage that meet my needs! I feel great! I wake up feeling energy even before my capsule, and it stays with me throughout my day! I was perfectly content with the need to stop experimenting!
And then this happened to further prove the results.
I ran out of my capsules and began taking my husband’s Grafex suspended in coconut oil, which he prefers. I started with a teaspoon 3x/day, which helped but still left me with an ache in hands and wrists. So, I did one teaspoon when I woke up and another before going to work, which was better, followed by another at bedtime. Just so you know, I could never take a capsule even at 6 pm or at bedtime since it gave me too much energy. The oil did not do that for me at all!
One morning, I completely forgot to take the oil in the morning and before going to work. I felt the ache in my hands and wrist begin and by the end of my work day, I was in so much pain, I took an entire tablespoon of Grafex in oil as well as rubbing arnica and cryoderm into my achy hands. By morning, I was better!
Just a note, when I was taking the capsules, if I had forgotten to take a capsule for the day, I never experienced the type of pain I had, as when I forgot to take the oil. Which to me meant that the capsules, for me, has a much longer lasting effect.
Needless to say, I won’t do that again. But without doubt, the capsules seem to work better for me.
I’m going back to the appropriate capsule dosage. It seems to work more efficiently for my needs as well as have longer lasting effects.
The other personal experiments I have done was with the straight Grafex powder material: Before mixing all of it into the oil, I kept a very small amount in the original jar to apply topically for different reasons. You could also apply it once was mixed in the coconut oil, but I found when it was dry product, it was more efficient for different uses.
Such as:
Mosquito bites.. stopped the itch immediately from a Bee stings…took away the burn and swelling
Burns…helped to ease the pain
And most importantly; herpes outbreaks. I apply a tiny amount as soon as the blister begins, reducing the discomfort and eventually the blister resorbs without ever breaking out. It does require, I have found, 2 applications/day. The only thing I take for outbreaks is my Grafex capsules and dry Grafex powder applications. Literally gone in 3 days!
Grafex is a permanent staple in my life!!
