Do you or someone you love live in chronic pain?  Did you know there are natural ways to ease or get rid of the pain? Many have had tremendous relief from their chronic and daily pain by using essential oils.  Here are just a few oils that can help:

1. Clove:  Studies have shown that clove contains significant  amounts of eugenol which has proven to be a COX-2 Inhibitor. This allows clove oil to relieve pain in a similar manner to Celebrex without the risk of heart disease.

2.  Balsam Fir: Can be anesthetic and particularly soothing for muscular and skeletal pain. Balsam Fir also has significant anti-inflammatory properties and has been used since biblical times to relieve pain from throat and lung infections, arthritis, and back pain.

3. Peppermint: Extremely high in menthol, Peppermint has a cooling effect on pain and inflammation.  It is highly effective for headache pain when 1-3 drops are rubbed on the temples and the nape of the neck.

4. Lavender: Known for its soothing and relaxing properties, it is also highly anti-inflammatory and has profound tissue regeneration and wound healing properties.

5. Copal: Containing a very high amount of betacaryophyllene which was shown in a 2001 study to have strong anesthetic properties, making it a highly effective pain reliever.

6. Wintergreen: Has a high content of methyl salicylate (a compound closely related to aspirin) and is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories of all essential oils.

7. Nutmeg: Like wintergreen, nutmeg is an extremely powerful anti-inflammatory and is highly effective in relieving pain from arthritis, rheumatism, fever, infection or injury.

8. Rosemary: Contains molecules known to alleviate pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism and is analgesic and mildly anesthetic.

9. Marjoram: Has been researched for its ability to relieve pain and calm the nerves at the same time.

10. Helichrysum: Possibly the most effective essential oil for pain because it supports regeneration of the nerves and nerve  endings.
