The pharmaceutical companies can't patent the oils so they can't make any money from them. All I know is that they have worked for me. My first time was with heel spurs and the doctors wanted to do surgery or $300 for special insoles. I rubbed an oil on my feet for a couple weeks and I haven't had any pain in my feet since. Another time I had geographic tongue which the doctors say there is no cure. I muscle tested for an oil and it went away. I am not a doctor and can not claim the same would work for you. All I would ask is if drugs and doctors are not solving the problem then find an alternative.

My favorite saying is that every body is different. What works for me might not work for you. That goes for drugs as well. There is no magic bullet that will work for everyone.

My mother-in-law has Bell's Palsy and I am going to send her an Essential Oil. Will let you know how it goes.

>Not big on the whole homeopathic smells and charms. My belief is that if something like this worked, then Sanofe or Brystols would have already compressed it into a little pill or ointment, made bazillions on it, and there would be a lot of happy people with full control of their faces and no pain. Got to say, haven't really seen that. And 400 years is a long time for someone to have already handled the research on this. The bible references doesn't really mean much to me, other than supporting that it's been around awhile. Which puts me back at square one with the pharmaceutical giants and why they haven't already jumped on this miracle cure. Sorry, but like Richard Dryfuss' wife once said decades ago: I believe that you believe.
