Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I am a dowser, so I decided to make a list of all the recommended essential oils for shingles and nerve pain from the testimonials on www.Oil-Testimonials.com and from the Essentials Oils Reference Book.
From that list, I muscle tested each oil, asking if that specific oil was beneficial to me for shingles and nerve relief and how many drops were needed of each of those oils. (Please understand that this recipe is specific for me, but I want to share this as a guideline for you to do your own muscle testing for your own specific recipe.)
Here is my recipe:
* Eucalyptus 2 drops
* Helichrysum 5 drops
* Juniper 4 drops
* Lavender 3 drops
* Marjoram 3 drops
* Nutmeg 3 drops
* Pine 3 drops
* Peppermint 2 drops
* Exodus II blend 3 drops
* Ravintsara 5 drops
* Thieves blend 5 drops
* Elemi 5 drops
I mixed the above oils into a carrier oil (I used castor oil) and then rubbed on the uncomfortable areas. I muscle tested daily to see if a recipe change was needed, and on day 5 adjustments were made. All the oils were still the same, except the amount of drops increased on some of the oils:
* Helichrysum to 7 drops
* Marjoram to 5 drops
* Nutmeg to 4 drops
* Exodus II blend to 4 drops
* Ravintsara to 8 drops
* Elemi to 6 drops
* Thieves blend to 25 drops
It was essential for my body to first acclimate to the original recipe and then to use the adjusted recipe. Also, my chiropractor (who confirmed through muscle testing this recipe change) said to take the Thieves blend in gel cap form.
I hope this helps as a guideline to your own specific recipe.

| 1. | Associated topics: herpes — "The presence of beta-caryophyllene in many essential oils might contribute strongly to their antiviral ability. These results indicate that phenylpropanoids and sesquiterpenes present in essential oils contribute to their antiviral activity against HSV [herpes simplex virus]." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: neuralgia,nerve-pain,herpes,shingles — "The patient was successfully treated with topical peppermint oil [for postherpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles].... The authors believe this is the first evidence of peppermint oil (or menthol) having a strong analgesic effect on neuropathic pain." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: nerve-pain — "Ameliorative effects of Ocimum sanctum [holy basil] in sciatic nerve transection-induced neuropathy...." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: herpes — "Essential oils from anise, hyssop, thyme, ginger, camomile and sandalwood were screened for their inhibitory effect against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) [genital herpes]. A clearly dose-dependent virucidal activity against HSV-2 could be demonstrated for all essential oils tested. Chamomile oil exhibited a high selectivity index and seems to be a promising candidate for topical therapeutic application as virucidal agents for treatment of herpes genitalis." | Link |
| 5. | Associated topics: nerve-pain — "Topical high-concentration L-menthol is the only established human experimental pain model to study mechanisms underlying cold hyperalgesia. We aimed at investigating the combinatorial effect of cold stimuli and topical L-menthol on cold pain and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia. Cold detection threshold and cold pain threshold (CPT) increased after L-menthol and remained high after the cold rekindling cycles.... Skin blood flow increased after L-menthol and stayed stable after cold cycles. Repeated application of cold on skin treated by L-menthol facilitated and prolonged L-menthol-induced cold pain and hyperalgesia." | Link |
| 6. | Associated topics: helichrysum-oil — "...its flowers and leaves are the most used parts in the treatment of health disorders such as allergies, colds, cough, skin, liver and gallbladder disorders, inflammation, infections and sleeplessness... In vitro studies characterized Helichrysum as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Its flavonoids and terpenes were effective against bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus), its acetophenones, phloroglucinols and terpenoids displayed antifungal action against Candida albicans and its flavonoids and phloroglucinols inhibited HSV and HIV, respectively.... Regarding Helichrysum italicum in vivo activity, the highlight goes to ...the anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by its flavonoids, acetophenones and phloroglucinols, as seen in animal models." | Link |
