Recommendations for muscle pain
 

Hi I have a muscle problem that causes a lot of pain in my chest every time I use my arms or when I lie in a certain position. I use peppermint essential oil and it's so effective, in fact I was bed ridden because of this pain up until a few years ago when I started using it. However, I am unable to use it very much because it affects my lungs in a way that makes it very hard to breath. I was wondering if you knew of any other remedy or herb that could help with the pain as it's healing my chest like peppermint oil? They only thing I could think of would be supplements, loose leaf tea, or possibly some sort of salve or tincture. I'm pretty much back to being bed ridden, can't even work in my garden.

Hi there, what exactly is your condition? What do you mean with a muscle problem? Dit you have a doctor check it out?

Hello

I've read rosemary, lavender, and eucalyptus oils are good for muscle pain and swelling. However, I would have it checked out by a doctor first before using oils or any other remedies.

Lepus

For muscular pain, of all kind, I use Arnica Montana, 30X or 30C. Take it on a clean mouth, no food or drink at least 30 minutes before and after. As with all homeopathic remedies, avoid strong flavors and aromas while taking Arnica.

Arnica may be purchased without prescription at most health food stores.

Medications that slow blood clotting (Anticoagulant / Antiplatelet drugs) interact with ARNICA.

Obviously this isn't medical advice. It's what I use for muscular pain.

Well so the thing about my condition is that there is no diagnosis any doctor I've ever seen can give. The best they could do was give me muscular dystrophy and complex regional pain syndrome, both of which I have none of the symptoms for. They just wrote that down because it was the closest they can come up with. The best I can do is describe what's going on, severe discomfort in the chest wall when using my arms for even light activity. And as for the oils Lepus, rosemary, lavender, and eucalyptus would affect my ability to breath like the peppermint oil. I think they're so strong my sensitive lungs can't handle it. My doctor did refer me to pain management but I'm pretty sure they're going to realize there isn't much they can do in the way of healing. I intend to look into eastern medicine but that's along the same lines why I'm here.

Arnica, will definitely get that next time I'm in town. Thank you.

I assume that the first thing your doctor checked was your heart, and that what you experience isn't angina related, or some heart condition. Arnica can help in those cases too (the heart is a muscle), but surely, it isn't a substitute for specialized medical assistance.

You can get Arnica from amazon com.

If the doctors say it's ok, maybe have the area under your collarbone/upper chest muscles massaged. This is an area I never paid attention to until my chiropractor/functional medicine Doctor worked on me and said that area was so tight and pulling on the shoulders causing numbness in my arms. Also I love the idea of the arnica. They also make an arnica gel. Or frankincense oil.

If willing, buy a couple of Tesla Purple Energy Plates and / or Tachyon Disks and place them over the affected parts of the body for 30 mins - 1 hr, multiple times daily/as much as needed.
Works Really effective, from experience.

I can vouch for that, too. ( Tesla Purple Energy Plates ) They are truly amazing.
