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.


I have been following my own version of the "MS Recipe" found in a couple of books that I have received from Young Living since March 2009. Before I started using these oils, I was using a cane/walking stick to be able to walk among a list of other symptoms typical of MS. I had been diagnosed in 2004 with Multiple Sclerosis.

After using the 4 basic oils of Helichrysum, Peppermint, Rosemary, and Basil along with other nerve conducting oils such as Marjoram and pain relieving oils such as the PanAway oil blend and Idaho Balsam Fir, my symptoms are virtually non-existent.

I also use daily supplements of NingXia Red juice, OmegaGize Fish Oil, Super B Complex and a single supplement of Magnesium. Once I started to lose the nerve pain in my left side, I was able to rehabilitate myself through exercise. I went from barely walking to being able to go to the gym for some form of exercise 5 times a week.

I have shared this information with those who attend my MS Support Group meetings and those who have tried it, are seeing the benefits as well.

If you have any questions about what I have done and how to gradually try my regimen, please feel free to ask any questions. I do not claim to have found a solution to Multiple Sclerosis, just a way to feel better. I would gladly welcome any doctor or biochemist to study this method and discover the properties found in these oils.

I highly recommend especially Helichrysum oil as it has so many healing and restorative properties.
