Members enthusiastically shared their favorite essential oils for pain and relaxation, with lavender, peppermint, lemongrass, and tea tree emerging as popular choices for sleep, headaches, minor burns, and overall comfort. Several members offered practical guidance, including using fractionated coconut oil as a carrier, applying peppermint to temples for headaches, adding lavender to Epsom salt baths, researching reputable brands that process oils purely without alcohol, and starting with a diffuser in the bedroom and living room. A recurring theme was the strong desire to reduce reliance on expensive prescription medications and transition to natural remedies, with many expressing hope that essential oils combined with proper research could offer real relief.

I don't use a specific brand, I buy mine at the health food store. Lavender is good for sleep, helichrysum works for pain. Frankincense is good for wounds. There are several others that work too. Either look on pintrest or find a pamphlet that tells about them. Good luck

Wow, your post was soooo informative. Thank u. My teaching assistant 15 years ago was really into oils and used them on some of my students w/out my knowledge. (After the fact much later). There was a difference in the behavior of my special ed students. Go figure. Now I am hearing about them again. Rather go natural than fu*king medicine. My body is polluted with chemicals, I'm missing most if my teeth due to anti-depressants, gabapentin and topomax. WARNING TO ANYONE TAKING THESE DRUGS, PROTECT UR TEETH!! To late for me. No dental insurance, sucks, call me the toothless wonder lol. Looking up oils on "net" after this post. Appreciate this info greatly!!

Oh oh when someone finds out which oils to use please post them. I would so love to go with that over drugs. Taking all this BS is tearing our bodies up!

@A MyFibroTeam Member wow great post! I've added to my essential oils collection over 20 years. I use lavender the most, I use it as the best thing to put on minor burns. If I catch myself on the oven rack for example. So great to see so many people wanting to reduce prescription meds, beat those ****s putting the cost up to unaffordable cost!
Have a great day, soft hugs 🌸
