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 had an emergency appendectomy, and the doctor prescribed strong pain meds after the surgery. I did not like the way they made me feel.

I decided to try a blend of Young Living oils called the "morphine bomb." It is 5 drops Frankincense, 5 drops Idaho Balsam Fir, and 5 drops Copaiba taken internally in a gel cap.

I mixed up a batch of this recipe (using 20 drops of each) in a small 5-ml bottle and then just filled up a gel cap with the mix. It was probably 20 drops of oil total.

I took this every few hours, and it was able to control my pain without any side effects!
