Members shared their experiences using essential oils for fibromyalgia pain relief, with peppermint oil emerging as a favorite for muscle soreness and headaches, alongside blends like doTerra's Deep Blue and Young Living's Ortho Ease. Several members offered practical shopping tips, suggesting more affordable brands like Now Solutions at organic food stores and Two Old Goats lotion (containing peppermint and white birch bark) available at farm supply stores or online. A recurring theme was the acknowledgment that different oils work differently for each person, the need to reapply throughout the day, and that many use oils as a complement to medication rather than a replacement.

Two Old Goats has the most awesome lotion and balm - it contains peppermint oil (soothes muscles) and white birch bark (a natural anti-inflammatory. While the price for the large bottle is kinda steep, especially for those of us on SSI, it is worth the price ($18.95). It has other essential oils and anti-inflammatories in it, too, but you have this nice minty smell afterwards. Plus, I have found it to be very good for reddened, irritated skin (after shaving, light acne).

I love essential oils. Peppermint is the best that I like. It just works well when rubbed into the muscles. Deep Blue is another great essential oil, I like the oils that penetrate through to take the pain away for a little while. I rather feel and smell minty plus the sensation is pretty cool too

i use them along with my medication. On the days my meds just are cutting it i will use oils for the pain. they are fantastic and i won't go anywhere without them. i wish we could talk more about them i would like to tell those interested more. i was flagged at one point for mentioning them and exactly what i use.... it made me sad because they really do work for me.

Yes. Peppermint Do Terra oil helps my muscles. I don't sell them but a friend does. Bath and Body Works sells a couple of nice sprays that help a little. Keep stress level down. Easier said than done. Good luck.

You can go to www.twooldgoats.com and either order it from their site or click on, 'Retailers' to find a store that sells it near you. I used to buy mine from the U-Haul place, believe it or not. I have also found it at places like Gebo's or farm supplies stores.
