I am looking into essential oils. Hoping to find help with my Lyme Disease through them. Looking to get opinions from anyone here who may have experience and can chime in. The brand of oils I am looking at has a combination they recommend to help but I just want to check with someone who might actually be using oils and can relay some sage advice.

I'm really frustrated with this disease. Diagnosed early July 2014. On Doxy for 28 days. Detoxed with diatomaceous earth while on the antibiotics. Still using DE but am not super consistent. Roughly 2-3 days a week I'm mixing some up in juce and drinking it.

Late October 2014 went to an Infectious Disease Dr. because I was still so tired all the time, etc. He had a lumbar puncture done to check to see if it was in my spinal fluid. The test came back clean. That's good I know but I can't help but feel frustration. No answers as to why I still feel like pooh except "sometimes it takes a long time to recover".

My situation is compounded because I do not have a thyroid and take Naturethroid as my hormone replacement. So, I was already dealing with getting run down, overly tired, etc. when the Lyme came into the picture. Now it is worse then ever.

I am very lucky that I work from home and don't have to travel often for business. Otherwise I think I probably may not have a job anymore.

I really want to make sure that the essential oils I use are the most effective and hope that someone on here has some success stories to pass on!

Thanks!

I haven't used them, but I've met a few people who have used them in conjunction with other things or after trying other things. One person did get better from them, but it was after he had done other modalities too, so some of his problems were corrected before the oils. There is a Lyme group here for people who are using them.

Which brand are you considering?

I am looking at doterra right now.

That's the brand that I think most of the people in the group use. I recently bought some from one of the members for my daughter to rinse her mouth with after dental work. Which blend was suggested for you, if you don't mind me asking.

Have you looked at the other ways to detox in the "New to Lyme" thread at the top of the page?

I've looked at other ways to detox before in the New to Lym thread which is why I use the DE. I'm really looking for a maintenance regimen to help maintain a healthier balance of energy and overall quality of life. I know everyone has up days and down days but I just need to find a way to keep the down days to a minimum and so that I don't feel like being a lump on the couch the majority of the time. Right now the down days are outnumbering the up days. I don't tolerate this type of status very long for myself and to me, it's been more than enough time to get to some level of an even keel so I can have a good guide of how "good" I'm going to get and how to best manage it. If this is how "good" I'm going to get - I am rejecting that!

I am done with seeing doctors about this. I have a very short tolerance for this type of stuff after having gone through endometriosis and thyroid cancer. Aside from removing the offending organs through surgery, the medical community really hasn't provided any real long term help in dealing with the lasting effects of these conditions I have.

I'd love to hear if anyone else is trying essential oils to help with this curse we've somehow been placed under!

For Lyme I am told to use the: DDR which comes in oil & soft gels, Prime LLV which I think is a soft gel or a pill & Cassia Oil.
