I too am hooked on essential oils. I have been using them for about a year and a half for just about everything.

My husband has PN and found that peppermint is always a good EO for the feet. It is pretty much the one "constant" EO he uses daily. Then, I will add other oils to it depending on what I'm trying to do. Geranium, helichrysum (everlasting) and vetiver are helpful. Also German Chamomile. The G. Cham and Everlasting are very anit-inflammatory. These two are pretty expensive but well worth it since they can be used for many things.

He places one drop each of 2 -3 EO's and then adds a about a 1/3 tsp of carrier oil in the palm of his hand. He then applies it to his feet. I have also put together a body butter as a base for him to use since it's a better moisturizer than just a carrier oil. I used Joboa oil, cocoa butter, shea butter and bees wax.

BTW....I use frankincense and rosewood for my face. I use one drop each in a bit of Coconut oil and shea butter.
