Has anyone heard of using "Essential Oils" for relief of Fibro symptoms?

Aromatherapy? Mixing and blending oils, or the science of anointing with oils in various places?

I love nice smells, and do a bit of aromatherapy. Never done the anointing part, tho.

My SIL designed a special blend for her mom's fibro. Her mom loves it.

I have been using various essential oils to help with symptoms. Just getting started with it but have found oregano oil and wintergreen oil together do a good job relieving pain for a little while. There is quite a bit of research on the topic all over the web.

Peppermint oil can help with pain and headaches. I use coconut oil on my body everyday and take it too. I love oils of all kinds... But the minty ones I think are good for pain... Just my opinion...

Have a great day!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Great info! I'm going to order some essential oils soon - for cleaning, general household but also thinking about using them for health. Thanks ctc315 for posting the topic!

Essential oils should be mixed with a carrier oil or vodka. Used neat, or straight, on the skin can cause burns.

Hey Couchtater, can you find out what the blend is? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much,

Chuck

I've tried some but the relief doesn't last long enough. Deep Blue from DoTerra was one that helped a bit. But no more so than putting on Bengay or FlexAll gel etc. And no matter which of them I use co-workers can smell all of them.

I watched two separate hour long YouTube videos on essential oils. I have bought a few and plan to buy the larger kit from Young living. So far I have tried peppermint oil for a migraine with neck pain and it really helped me. I use tree tea oil often for boils, insect bites. I always put lavender in my bath. Valor and panaway are recommended for fibromyalgia pain. Peace and calming blend and joy blend are recommended for depression/anxiety. I am excited to try different oils.

If you have a problem with mold in the house tea tree oil is very good. I use a couple drops of oregano oil in my Oil Pulling. It is the best for killing bacteria and viruses. Also use the Thieves oil which is a combination of Rosemary, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Clove bud oil. Have to cut them back 5 to 1 with Safflower oil so it doesn't burn the skin. My girlfriend uses lavender oil when she has headaches.

Just test them , i am allergic to lavendar and eucalyptus..

I use oregano oil and our house is never without it.. At the first sign of a sore throat ..we take 3 drops in a 3 oz glass of water. And often the sore throat goes away...

Once i got a bad virus on vacation..flat on my back inbed.. Took that dose once an hour and by 2 pm.. The fever passed and i was over it...my sil had the virus 6 days, with oregano , mine lasted 6 hours.

It also kills pain topically, but smells strong. Georgetown univ hosp did a stdy on it and claims its the strongest , anti-viral and pain killer out there..you can probably find that article online.

She uses about 1/8th cup of coconut oil, 20 drops of ginger essential oil, ten drops of rose oil, ten of jasmine oil, and ten of ylang-ylang.

I was also suffering from chronic pain and tenderness all over my body and then i apply valor oil. It really helps me a lot and it decreases the pain. I usually apply few drops of oil between my shoulder blades on morning and evening.
