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...

Thank you for the information. I can't seem to find anything when I search 1% hydrocloroze. Could you kindly send the name of the equate product and and/or a link?

Sorry for the typo spelling It is Equate hydrocortisone cream which is a Walmart brand. It comes in other brand names but this is the least expensive that I have found.

How many drops of Frankincense and Myrrh in how much lotion? What lotion do you use? Most burn my feet.

An update to my earlier post. I received my Frankincense & Myrrh neuropathy oil yesterday. I put 10 drops on each of my feet, rubbing it in on the soles. I also rubbed 10 drops on my thoracic spine.

Both my thoracic spine and feet were very painful when I got home from the doctor. After rubbing in the oil, putting on my alpaca socks, and waiting about a half hour, my feet had some alleviation of the pain. I'm going to try 10 drops again tonight, but apply it twice -- evening and bedtime.

To my surprise, I had noticeable alleviation of the pain in my thoracic spine. I'm thinking about combining it with some high CBD/low THC tincture I have, and rubbing that on my spine.

After some research, I decided on Warrior alpaca socks. Got them from the company, but Amazon also has them.

It is available from Walmart and is a combination of the two, plus some other things. I wrote about this yesterday and hoped to sleep all night. Well, it didn't work all night after all.. but I woke up at 3:30 this morning with back and hip pain plus the right foot was red and burning.. I used another cream on all 4 spots and got back to sleep around 4:30.. This other cream was recommended by a friend who has Ankylosing Spondilytis.. Name of this one is Topricin FIBRO Cream and it is very helpful, too.. Not quite as wonderful as the Frankincense and Myrrh, but I just now put it on my hot red right foot and already it is feeling much better. I will post more information about these as I learn and have more experience with them.. I don't know anything about the ones from Amazon except some of the reviews weren't good.. Google them all and read the ingredients listed for each, if they are listed.. I think Amazon sells them seperately and not mixed together.. Several people said they arrived broken.. And remember that the one that I tried at the Nutritionist's office was "drops" mixed with hand lotion.. About 1 tablespoon of lotion with 6 or so drops and stirred up, then applied to the burning foot... I will post more about these when I know more! It was a huge blessing to have my foot immediately start cooling down and beginning to look normal color again. And it lasted for about 12 hours or more!
Hope this helps you and others...

I think that like everything else you will need to give it some time to work. I have been trying it for 3 days now and will report back on my findings. I am using the mixed oil, but haven't tried mixing in lotion, but I will.
