So Ive got an awesome testimony that I wanted to share... Some of you may know already that I got a compression injury in my neck about a year ago from working out too hard at the gym. I went through some pain medication and eventually it healed up but not after several days of severe pain. On Monday night this week, as I was laying in bed, I jerked my head back really hard and felt my neck POP! Excruciating pain followed and I knew immediately what I had done. Ive been going to the chiropractor this week which has helped but I was still dealing with severe pain and stiffness especially at night which made it very difficult to sleep. Ive never been one that enjoys taking pain meds. Dealing with side effects (GI upset, nausea, etc.) and the drowsiness felt from certain ones, not that they dont serve a purpose but if I can keep from taking them I will. So as a pharmacist Ive been doing some research to try and find something more natural, more effective, without the side effects too. I found this essential oil through Young Living called PanAway. Its a mixture of wintergreen, helichrysum, clove, and peppermint. All organic and steam distilled/cold pressed. Now keep in mind, I was VERY skeptical at first. But Ive been willing to try anything for pain, including the occasional headaches and muscle aches. Let me tell you, this stuff is AWESOME! I rub a drop or 2, mixed in with a carrier oil like coconut oil, onto my shoulder and neck and within 2 minutes it has absorbed into my body and the pain is gone. It feels like a icy-hot patch almost. And it lasts for hours too. The clove and peppermint give a numbing and cool effect while the wintergreen acts like aspirin. The best part...no side effects and I can use it as often as I need to. Also works great on my headaches and any other chronic or acute pain I feel. Im a believer! :)
