I have used Young Living essential oils for a few years now and am always delighted to see how quickly they can relieve pain. But last night I saw something that simply amazed me.

My mother and I (both dedicated oilers) were chatting in her kitchen while a plumber worked upstairs. When he came down carrying his tools and a big bucket, we were shocked to see him bent nearly double and walking with a cane!

His face was ashen, his brow was beaded with sweat, and he was breathing noisily. Each exhalation was almost a grunt of pain.

What was the matter? He had terrible back pain going on for 3 days. Well, you don't let your fellow man walk around in that kind of agony.

We took off his coat and had him lean a little over the back of a chair. Out came the PanAway. I put that on his lower back where the pain was concentrated.

Then I applied the lovely Tranquil blend (with Lavender and Roman chamomile) to relax his muscles, which were tense all over the back. His back was like a brick wall.

I let him smell the Tranquil also; he relaxed, and his face softened just smelling it.

Next I layered on a few drops of Aroma Siez (Basil, Marjoram, and Lavender), a wonderful pain killer which also soothes muscle aches and inflammation.

As I did this, my mother talked to him about the car accident he was in 23 years ago that started his problems and how he is hooked on pain medication that barely works anymore. He is in pain all the time.

As I oiled his back, she saw his face relax from a pained grimace into a normal countenance. I heard his breathing slow and quiet down.

He had a few muscle spasms, so I applied more Tranquil on those spots. We thought a little Peace & Calming couldn't hurt, so I put some on the upper back and around the ears and neck.

Then I got out the Valor (might have started with that one!) and put it on the top of his spine, down the spine, and then over the lower back.

I let all that sit for a few minutes. He began to straighten up, and he moved his shoulders. He noticed the pain much reduced and kept saying how weird it was. He was genuinely astonished.

Then, just for kicks, I put a little Relieve It over the whole spine and finished with Peppermint.

So what worked? All of it! And it worked in under 20 minutes. It's hard to describe how much he changed and how he was able to function and move normally.

He said he felt one of his vertebrae move into place. He was able to stand straight. He started to get sensation back in his legs. He transformed before our eyes.

This was a man heading to his truck to take 4 more oxycodone, as he could barely move! He did not need them after all!! We were amazed to see this happen. Even though we know Young Living essential oils work, it's a blessing to witness something like this.

He was deeply grateful and thanked us for helping him. We packed a little PanAway for him to take home with information about Young Living Essential Oils. We also sent him home with DiGize to help with chronic constipation caused by the pain killers.

He wanted to pay me to come help his girlfriend with her knee pain. But all they need is some PanAway! When he left, we had to remind him to take his cane because he was about to leave it behind!

Supporting Scientific Studies
1.Associated topics: inflammation — "Cineole has mucolytic, bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the exacerbation rate in patients suffering from COPD, as well as ameliorates symptoms in patients suffering from asthma and rhinosinusitis.... The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days."Link
2.Associated topics: muscle-pain,back-pain — "We examined the evidence regarding the effect of herbal medicine on pain in people with non-specific low-back pain (LBP).... Lavender essential oil applied by acupressure appeared effective in reducing pain and improving flexibility compared to conventional treatment."Link
3.Associated topics: inflammation — "[W]e studied the anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective effects of C. citratus [Lemongrass] and E. citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus] essential oils on formol-induced edema and acetic acid induced abdominal cramps in Wistar rats.... In vivo analysis and histological assay showed that the two essential oils displayed significant dose-dependent edema [swelling] inhibition effect over time. They displayed strong analgesic [pain-relieving] and antipyretic [fever-reducing] properties similar to that induced by 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylate of lysine.... This work demonstrates the anti-inflammatory property of Cymbopogon citratus [Lemongrass] and Eucalyptus citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus], suggesting their potential role as adjuvant therapeutic alternatives in dealing with inflammatory-related diseases."Link
4.Associated topics: muscle-spasm-/-twitch — "Peppermint oil is harmless and acts locally to inhibit GI [gastrointestinal] smooth muscle contraction.... Peppermint oil solution administered intraluminally can be used as an antispasmodic agent with superior efficacy and fewer side effects than hyoscine-N-butylbromide...."Link
5.Associated topics: inflammation — "To assess their anti-inflammatory activities, effects of essential oils on neutrophil activation were examined in vitro.... All essential oils tested at 0.1% concentration suppressed TNF-945;-induced neutrophil adherence, and, in particular, lemongrass, geranium, and spearmint oils clearly lowered the reaction even at 0.0125%. Similar inhibitory activities for the neutrophil adherence were obtained by their major constituent terpenoids: citral, geraniol, citronellol and carvone. Thus, some essential oils used as anti-inflammatory remedies suppress neutrophil activation by TNF-945; at a low concentration (0.0125-0.025%) in vitro."Link
6.Associated topics: constipation-/-irregularity — "A 4 weeks treatment with peppermint oil improves abdominal symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.... The symptoms evaluated were: abdominal bloating, abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, pain at defecation, passage of gas or mucus, and urgency at defecation."Link
7.Associated topics: muscle-spasm-/-twitch — "Lavender essential oil has been used as an anxiolytic [anxiety] drug, a mood stabilizer, a sedative, spasmolytic [muscle spasms], antihypertensive [high blood pressure], antimicrobial, analgesic [pain] agent as well as a wound healing accelerator.... The present study suggests that inhalation of lavender essential oil may be an effective and safe treatment modality in acute management of migraine headaches."Link
8.Associated topics: inflammation — "Ruxiang (Gummi olibanum), the dried gum resin of Boswellia carterii (BC) [frankincense], has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate pain and inflammation for thousands of years.... The data show that BC extract has significant anti-arthritic and anti-inflammation effects and suggest that these effects may be mediated via the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines."Link
