CRPS Type II - What Helps You?

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.

Thirteen years ago I had an accident in which I nearly severed my right hand. I cut 4 nerves, 4 tendons, 2 arteries, and developed CRPS Type II (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome).

CRPS causes devastating chronic pain that worsens over time, migraines, inflammation of the spine and joints, and decreased mobility. I would love to hear from others who have CRPS and have found a protocol that works for them.

For me, I combine NingXia Red juice, which stopped the migraines, Alkalime (plus drinking 9.5 pH water) to reverse the inflammation, AgilEase and Sulfurzyme for the arthritis-like symptoms. I tried other products and found they were not as bioavailable as the Young Living organic MSM.

Their supplements are outstanding, as are the essential oils, and I am so grateful for them. On a daily basis I use Frankincense, Sandalwood and Rose on my face. I sniff Lavender oil and all of the floral oils -- Jasmine, Rose, Geranium, Ylang Ylang -- every day.

I like mixing them with the resinous oils, blending in a little organic Alba Botanica lotion. The combination is alluring and uplifting, and is great for fighting depression and anxiety.

My sympathetic nervous system is too jangled to have a Raindrop technique, but CRPS does a number on the facet joints, so sometimes I use the oils in the kit and rub them on the pelvic and cervical facet joints to get them to open up, release contracted muscles and ease the pain.

For pain, I find Helichrysum to be unbeatable. Palo Santo oil, applied to the bottom of my spine is also helpful. When I can't walk, but my spine is too inflamed for prolonged sitting, I find that applying the Aroma Siez, PanAway oil blends, or both Helichrysum and Palo Santo make a big difference, extending the time that I can be out of bed.

I also have a lovely morning routine. I put Lavender oil on my damaged hand, stretching out the fingers, and I say my gratitude affirmations for all that happens, as everything good and bad, is a blessing and an opportunity for learning.

I affirm my intentions of being loving and compassionate, to appreciate the abundance extended to me, and ask for my teachers and my students to come into my life to help me stretch this vessel so it will hold more.

Lavender is calming and opening. It has so many uses, and is exceptional for prayer and meditation. I also put the Valor oil blend on the bottom of my feet morning and night.

Are there other practitioners out there interested in discussing the treatment of chronic pain, inflammation (the basis of many diseases) and pH balancing? If so, please contact me. I'd love to hear your success stories.
