Our Neuropathy Blend was created for those with peripheral neuropathy with the purpose of helping to soothe the discomfort in lower extremities when experiencing tingling and the feeling of "a thousand ants inside". That is how I best describe the weird sensations. There is no cure for peripheral neuropathy because it is a chronic condition. However, there can be relief found in conventional prescription medications as well as temporarily soothed with topical aided oils.
Because I (Karen) suffer greatly from this condition this blend has been worked on extensively until I was personally satisfied with the results, at least for myself. I personally reapply this blend every 6-8 hours to soothe the busy sensations in my feet and find that applying it before bedtime to aid in a good night's sleep.
This blend was given to a massage therapist who has clients with varying degrees of peripheral neuropathy and it was applied onto their lower extremities. All reported positive results, albeit temporary. Relief was reported to be for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 8 hours. Some, like myself, noticed an immediate relief, and others reported the onset of relief in 10-15 minutes. The massage therapist relayed that those with less than immediate relief were those with severe peripheral neuropathy causing complete numbness in their lower extremities. These individuals, after 10-15 minutes, had some feeling return to their feet and ankles without any of the usual discomforts that those with this condition find difficult to put into words.
You may also find this blend helpful to relieve discomfort in the lower extremities from other conditions such as restless legs syndrome or tired aching feet.
This is a blend of 5% dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil and can be massaged onto lower extremities without further dilution. As with all essential oil products intended for topical use it is recommended to do a skin patch test before using for the first time.
Diffuser use: NOT for use in diffuser.
