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.
This week I developed a chilblain on my little toe. I used to get them as a teenager but haven't had one for over 30 years! The combination of pain and itch became almost unbearable.
I searched the essential oils reference book I had and there was no mention of chilblains, so I looked for an oil with anti-inflammatory properties and Peppermint jumped out at me. One drop on my toe and the discomfort totally disappeared in seconds!! Three hours later and still good!
As I logged on to Oil-Testimonials to share my remedy I found only one other reference to chilblains and she successfully used Peppermint too.
These Young Living oils are great!

| chilblains - "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 |
