Joanna from Philadelphia, Pa: My mother has seen dramatic improvement in her neuropathy conditions incl Sciatica, pain from Osteoporosis and Arthritis and Scoliosis.
Helichrysum Essential Oil is a wonder oil in her opinion, she uses it diluted 50/50 (with a base oil like almond, jojoba, etc) on the location of the pain, and also on the feet (where the nerve endings of hundreds of nerves are located). And finds relief from pain within 10 mins at best.
It is IMPERATIVE to use therapeutic grade essential oils, because they are absorbed by the skin (the largest organ) and if not the right type, they can do damage to the body. My mom swears by Helichrysum oil and alternates that with a blend of essential oils for neuro related pains.
I hope you get some relief, Tina
