Finding Pain Relief
in Essential Oils
A Personal Journey
For years, Rachel Kass, a healthcare worker who spends long
hours on her feet, had struggled with varicose veins. Seeking
relief, she was able to have surgery which dramatically improved
the varicose veins, but ultimately brought on the debilitating pain
of neuropathy.
Some days, the pain was so great, she was nearly unable to walk.
The pain would often radiate up her spine and into her head resulting
in headaches and exhaustion.
Unfortunately, her physicians were unable to find the right
medication to reduce her pain because Kass was either allergic or
would experience unbearable side effects. After many visits, it was
determined that she had invisible pain (pain that doesn’t have any
obvious signs or symptoms that are noticeable to people other than
the patient) and it could not be safely treated.
It was not until Kass was introduced to essential oils that she
found relief. “The oils not only addressed the discomfort I was
experiencing,” explains Kass, “but they also had a positive effect
on my mood.” Additional essential oils helped her find deeper
rest and increased energy. She was so impressed with her results
that she wanted to learn more about how these oils could support
overall health and well-being. What she learned is helpful information
for anyone seeking relief from pain and other ailments.
Do your research when purchasing essential oil. Currently,
there is no accepted standard or regulatory body that ensures
the purity of essential oils, so look for a reputable company that
ensures the purity of the product. Study their research and ask
questions—what you learn may be surprising.
Understand where your essential oil is coming from. Oils
come from plants that are grown by farmers and how they are
grown and harvested matters. Look for those that are organically
grown whenever possible. Understand how the plants are harvested
as the efficacy of an oil can be greatly impacted by something
as simple as the time of day it is picked. All the steps of the process
matter, and the company from whom you are purchasing should
provide you with this information.
Kass was able to find a product that included a blend of oils to
help relieve the symptoms of neuropathy, including frankincense,
turmeric and ginger, to provide relief from aches and pain, and
wild orange and peppermint to increase energy. This blend also
included supplements that eventually made it possible for Kass to
relieve herself of seven prescription drugs that she no longer needed.
The addition of a blend with lavender, coriander and fennel
reduced anxiety and improved her physical and mental resiliency.
