I thought it would be nice if we had a thread about our experience with using essential oils for pain relief. A co-worker sells them and she gave me a bottle of the Clove essential oil on Friday to try. Apparently it is known for reducing inflammation in the body. I was very skeptical, but hey it was free :-). 

Anyway, my results were amazing. I put it on my glands, under arm and on my neck, Friday during the day and again before bed. I woke up Saturday and I felt almost no pain. In fact, I did not need pain medication until Sunday evening. Although my SO said I smelled like food- burn food to be specific. lol.  

Have any of you tried the use of essential oils? If so, I think it would be nice if we kept this thread alive for those who are interested in adding alternative methods to reducing their pain.

Thanks for sharing this with us, I'm always up for trying anything helpful. Do you apply it to the affected area? Say, if my knees are painful I would put it there? Where do you buy it? I don't mind smelling like burnt food most of the time /default_smile.png

In my case I applied it to the glands because I have lupus so my pain, aside from spinal damage, is primarily a result of inflammation.

 
I got mine from a woman who sells it but u can find plenty of vendors on the internet. Also ur local health food or alternative health store should have it

 
Hi Moonbeam, thanks for starting this thread.  I use an oil combination of lavender, ginger grass, bergamot and peppermint for calming and relaxation before I go to sleep. The lavender has multiple uses but for me it is most helpful for calming my mind.  I'd love to find oils to help my back pain but I've yet to find the magic brew.  I'll definitely try the clove oil as I have inflammation from a bad cage in my L5/S1.  

Thanks so much for the tip and let me know if you have any thoughts on oils for pain.  

Keeks

  1. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  3. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  4. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  5. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!

  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  9. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  10. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  11. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  12. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
  15. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Wow, for real ? You renewed your DL and without you knowing or having to present documents in person, they did it online? It has the star on top right and says "Rea: ID" Mine says ' NOT A Real ID" . I never knew what a Real ID was and never bothered to ask - I think I somehow was under the impression that it was for either military / gov't workers who had to travel over seas. WRONG lol.
  16. B @ bigblueallda: I already have one and didn't even realize it. I renewed my ID online about 6 months ago and I just looked at it today and it is a Real ID.
  17. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 mine was duped , too. Not sure why or how my msg. duped. IMO that guy if serious and smart wouldn’t advertise with you
  18. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I wish I had it when I flew to Vegas in 2022. The TSA line for Real ID passengers was short. Now it’s probably going to be crazy .
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Has everyone got their Real ID ? I think tomorrow’s the deadline yet just now an agent from AAA (I believe ) was on local news saying you can still get it past May 7.. Required for domestic flights.
  20. T @ Turbo259: sorry for the dupe message
