I'm trying to find a natural relief for my arthritis and I read somewhere that certain essential oils can be rubbed into the skin and some are super helpful in a bath and/or in a compress. It wasn't very specific as to what essential oils helped what.
Essential oils can definitely be helpful for arthritis. My mom could tell you that.
But even before that, I would tell you to get ALL of the glutton, and diary, and most of the corn out of your diet.
Get ALL tjhe processed foods out of your diet. Limit your animal protein intakes to 3 times a week.
Buy the protelytic enzymes Vida Defense and use them as directed.
As far as the essential oils, use these. You can buy them separate and make your own blend.
I would recommend purchasing only from Young Living or Dottera.
Basil, Lavander, Lemongrass, Helichrysum, Peppermint, White Fir, Balsam Fir, Vetiver, Cypress, and Eucalyptus Globulus.
Those are the oils I sent my mom. I mixed them into two 15 mil bottles.
Her diet is better then the average American, but not nearly as good as what I suggested to you.
She ingests about a drop from each bottle once or twice a day. She also applies it topically. It took about 6 weeks until she saw a difference. She said it is about anywhere from around 60% to 80% better.
I suspect if she improved her diet she would have even a higher rate.
The oils are not cheap. The 10 oils I mentioned are about $380 or so. Nine of them are about $200, but Helichrysum is about $200 by itself.
They would probably last for about 6 months or so if you use them the same way my mom is.
Using just about any other brand, or buying cheaper oils from other companies (and I am saying there may be one or two or three other companies out there who sell the quality as YL or Doterra, which means the oils will work in a medicinal way) will probably produce NO results.
