Frankincense and Myrrh for Neuropathy pain

Posted by hotfooted @hotfooted, Apr 26, 2019

Today I saw the Nutritionist that my doctor sent me to.. As usual, my feet were red and burning. She told me that many Diabetics that she counseled used Frankincense and Myrrh drops mixed with a lotion and they swore by it.. wouldn't be without it. She had some and we tried it on my poor feet right then.. It was absolutely amazing! My feet cooled down immediately and they became their normal white skin again. That was this morning and they are still okay at 5:30 in the evening.. My gosh, maybe I'll be able to sleep better tonight... Have any of you tried this? If so, what has been your experience with it? I'm hoping to hear lots of comments back...

Hi @peggyn, I feel your pain. I had the same thing and after going to PT, and couple of injections, I believe what really helped me beside the orthotics was having MLS Laser therapy. You have to have at least 6 treatments and it is not covered by insurance. Not every Podiatrist offers it, some therapy places also offer it. I first had it done at the therapy place where I was going, then I switched podiatrist and that doc offered it in her office. Now, I just make sure I wear my orthotics always, that means less time with flip flops...UGHHHHH.
Good luck, hope you feel better.....Blessings

Ohhhhh, I am also a big believer in essential oils, they have been a tremendous help with different problems I have had. Be sure and use an essential oil that is pure with no additives or synthetics. I use Frankincense daily, for my arthritic pain and overall health. Frankincense is the "KING" of oils.

Neuropathy occurs nightly in my arms, or sometimes legs or trunk area, an annoying malady post chemotherapy/radiation. My oncologist says this neuropathy can be permanent. I had little faith in Frankincense and Myrrh, but decided to try it. I was amazed - IT WORKS! I have to reapply every night but it stops neuropathy immediately! I buy it at Amazon and its delivered to my door!

May I ask you if you use the frankincense and myrrh essential oil or the cream that I’ve seen on Amazon?

I haven't experimented much with essential oils yet, but will certainly check it out!

I wanted to share a recipe for a Detox bath from Dr Terry Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life book. I've done it twice so far and found it helpful in calming my mind and symptoms. One cup of baking soda, one cup of Epsom salts, one to two tablespoons of bentonite clay powder (more could potentially clog your plumbing) and/or 1 teaspoon of kelp.

I've just realized this recipe does not include essential oils - Dr Wahls recipe immediately below it suggests mixing 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil, one tablespoon of sea salt, one tablespoon of epsom salts and 20 to 30 drops of frankincense essential oil and massaging the mixture over your legs or areas where you are having nerve pain.

I've got to confess I somehow mixed up the two recipes and have been adding 4-10 drops of frankincense to the detox tub, and the scent is heavenly. So relaxing. Particularly if I add a relaxing audiobook or ASMR podcast to listen to to prevent me from thinking/overthinking about neuropathy or anything else! (plugged in or placed at a safe distance from the tub of course!)

I realized since I'm sharing Dr Wahls' personal care recipes I might as well share the simpler bath salts recipe: "Soaking in a bath is an excellent way to take in more magnesium, which helps with muscle healing and strength. Mix 1/2 cup sea salt with 1/2 cup of Epsom salts and pour in to a warm bath. Add 4 to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil. I like lavender, sandalwood or chamomile for a relaxing bath. For more moisture, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to the bathwater." (The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life, Chapter 12 - Household and Personal Care Recipes)
