Hi Elizabeth @ess77, I used to mix my own essential oils with a coconut oil base. I used Frankincense along with some Lavender and a few other essential oils but I never found much relief as far as the numbness from the neuropathy. I didn't really try it much for my arthritis pain in the knees or hip area. I was using the doctor prescribed lotion with Diclofenac and it really didn't help much either so I had my knee replaced which did help for the one knee and a steroid shot in the right hip (same side as my knee replacement). The steroid shot helped for about a month but it's back to the way it was bothering me at night. So, I just roll to the other side if it wakes me up 🙃. If it starts bothering me when walking, I will have to look into a hip replacement.

@johnbishop, and all. Hello, John. Interesting to hear your experience with these oils, etc. I don't notice any change in the numbness of my feet and legs either, but it does help reduce my pain levels for a time. I'm getting good results from these unusual sources, and so pleased. but they as temporary. I think I'm finding I do well using the CBD lotion an frankincense and Myrrh balm during the day when I have flare-ups or before bed to help with rest. They happily help me for a time that eases the discomfort. I thank you and Chris for your input and help. You both are true jewels and helping so many with your experiences. Thanks and keep the info coming.
I'm working on my supplements as well, so may write you some questions as I go on this journey. Thanks in advance...blessings, my friend and be well. No pain for you today!
