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.
When rushing around one morning late last summer, I banged my elbow on the corner of the kitchen counter. It hurt for several months and I knew there was nothing broken or chipped, but I couldn't even rest it on a table as I would then experience a sharp pain and if I bumped against someone, it also hurt.
After a couple months of this, I happened to mention it to another Young Living distributor who is a nutritional microscopist and she asked if it felt like there was broken glass in it.
I said yes, that's a great description. It felt like I was putting my elbow into sharp broken shards of glass. Even though it did not bruise the bone, it hurt a lot inside. She said I was experiencing nerve damage.
She asked which oils I had and then suggested I apply them in this order: a few drops each of the Valor oil blend, Lavender, Palo Santo oil, Dorado Azul, and then Peppermint to drive all the oils into my elbow joint. I did this twice a day. Within 3 days the pain was gone and has not returned and that has been at least 3 months.
God's medicine surely works! Believe in Him and His teachings. Thank you Gary and Mary Young for sharing what you've learned with so many.
And to all the wonderful people that I've come to know since joining Young Living, a sincere THANK YOU!

| 1. | Associated topics: joints — "Ruxiang (Gummi olibanum), the dried gum resin of Boswellia carterii (BC) [frankincense], has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate pain and inflammation for thousands of years.... The data show that BC extract has significant anti-arthritic and anti-inflammation effects and suggest that these effects may be mediated via the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: joints — "We have demonstrated that Boswellia frereana [frankincense] prevents collagen degradation, and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and MMPs. Due to its efficacy we propose that B. frereana should be examined further as a potential therapeutic agent for treating inflammatory symptoms associated with arthritis." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: nerve-pain — "The patient was successfully treated with topical peppermint oil [for postherpetic neuralgia, a complication of shingles].... The authors believe this is the first evidence of peppermint oil (or menthol) having a strong analgesic effect on neuropathic pain." | Link |

| 5. | Associated topics: joints — "Herbalists treat skin ailments, such as fungal infections (like candidiasis), wounds, eczema, and acne, with lavender oil. It is also used in a healing bath for joint and muscle pain. One study evaluating treatments for children with eczema found [that] it was therapeutic touch from the mother that improved symptoms; in other words, massage with and without essential oils (including lavender) both reduced the dry, scaly skin lesions. Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery." | Link |
| 6. | Associated topics: nerve-pain — "Topical high-concentration L-menthol is the only established human experimental pain model to study mechanisms underlying cold hyperalgesia. We aimed at investigating the combinatorial effect of cold stimuli and topical L-menthol on cold pain and secondary mechanical hyperalgesia. Cold detection threshold and cold pain threshold (CPT) increased after L-menthol and remained high after the cold rekindling cycles.... Skin blood flow increased after L-menthol and stayed stable after cold cycles. Repeated application of cold on skin treated by L-menthol facilitated and prolonged L-menthol-induced cold pain and hyperalgesia." | Link |
