I haven't yet used this myself (I don't want it to affect my milk supply, as I'm nursing). But, my boyfriend has constant severe back pain due to work in a cabintry plant (just so you can get the picture), and each time I put this oil on him he's no longer in pain. He is yet to really admit that it's the reason, although it "could be (lol... men)." My mom, on the other hand, came to visit me. She's been living with liver failure (along with many other things). She's in constant pain herself. I had her try this oil when she was here -- her skin was sensitive and we put it on directly, so she felt a mild burn (which can happen with essential oils). I say this, because she knew exactly where the oil would be DIRECTLY concentrated (not to mention the areas around). She went home that night and asked me where she could buy some and that she would buy some from me (so, I just had some mailed to her -- it's my mom). I swear by essential oils, she does, too... AND, I USED TO THINK THIS STUFF WAS HOCUS POCUS....

Anyways, about the mixture that you might NOT know unless doing your homework...

Many of these are both anti-fungal and anti-inflamatory -- necessary when dealing with back problems, especially. You have many toxins in your back. And, when your back is swollen, sometimes you can't even crack it. Peppermint is great with nerves. Since using peppermint, I haven't had problems with my Trigeminal Neuralgia (AKA the Suicide Disease AKA the WORST PAIN anyone can ever face, according to neurologists). It's amazing for nerves. And Helichrysum -- Remember when I told you about my mom? My first thought was to have her try it NOT BECAUSE OF PAIN, but because of her liver. Helichrysum is supposed to be like liquid gold for the liver and years of liver damage -- healing even the worst of conditions. It's also a very expensive oil. So, the price of this amazing mixture is actually affordable.

As always, I LOVE YOU, Earthroma!
