Essential Oils is a Natural Pain management solution for pain from arthritis, back pain, headaches etc. You can use Essentials Oils as often as you need to without any side effects that the medicine can cause.
Recommendations for Rheumatoid Arthritis is as follows:
Singles Essential Oils: Nutmeg, clove, mountain savory, rosemary, melaleuca(M. alternifolia), helichrysum, Idaho balsam fir, pine, eucalypus(E. globulus), copaiba, myrrh, frankincense, wintergreen, palo santo, valerian.
Blended Essential Oils: PanAway, Relieve It, Aroma Siez, Deep Relief Roll-On.
All the above Oils can be found at YoungLiving.com and you can find more information there also.
I personally use the PanAway, Relieve It and Peppermint Oil every day and some days 3 to 6 times per day depending on how much pain I have.
The Oils you get at the Health Food stores are not the same grade of Oils as what Young Living has.
Hope this helps some of you that are in a Lot of pain....just a suggestion is all.
