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.
My daughter and sister started using Young Living essential oils and introduced me to them.
I had severe pain down the back of my left leg and hip and sometimes had to drag my leg rather than walk normally. I started using the PanAway oil blend when I first received my starter kit. I used this essential oil every day, 2-3 drops per application, sometimes 2 or 3 times per day.
I felt some relief with the PanAway. But then I heard at an essential oils event that I attended that I can use Peppermint as a "driver" (drives the other oils in deeper).
Adding the Peppermint to my regimen helped tremendously. In three days I no longer had pain! I now use this protocol occasionally whenever I start to have discomfort, which takes care of it in just one use!
Try whatever works for you. What works for one person may not work for another. Don't give up.
I love my essential oils!

| 2. | Associated topics: nerve-pain — "The patient was successfully treated with topical peppermint oil [for postherpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles]....

| 4. | 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 |
