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 have had interstitial cystitis for years and thought that my flare ups had gotten out of control. Then I realized that the pain and burning that I was feeling was at the opening of my vagina (rather than my urethra). I did some research and self-diagnosed it as vulvar vestibulitis syndrome or vestibulodynia.
I visited the gynecologist, who confirmed my diagnosis and told me that it is "tricky to treat." She said that the three treatment options they have are often not effective and include continuous antibiotics, steroids, and surgery!
After doing some more research, I found some testimonials on the interstitial cystitis website which I reference a lot. Women with VVS had used essential oils such as Tea Tree (most common), Geranium, Rosemary, and Lemongrass.
Following three days of excruciating pain, I finally got desperate enough to try my own selection of oils. I used 1/4 teaspoon of Coconut oil for dilution, 1 drop of the Melrose oil blend, and 1 drop of Frankincense oil applied directly to where it hurt. Then I held my breath.
After an initial period of a burning/cooling sensation (which actually felt good), the pain disappeared within 45 minutes.
Now it has been 9 days, and I have been applying the combination (or just diluted Frankincense) 1-2 times per day. And I have barely felt any of the symptoms!
I also told my doctor, and she fully supported the treatment protocol as well.
