[Everything doTERRA] Re: lower back pain using Wintergreen or other oil?

Hey, 

Sorry to hear about your back pain. I'm no stranger to this. The thing that helps me the most is Egoscue Therapy (http://www.egoscue.com/). I did physical therapy for a while but for every exercise that helped another one hurt. Now, not saying anything against typical PT, my mom has done it after her back surgery and it's helped, but Egoscue takes the PT and works with posture realignment and strengthening. In just a few sessions I felt worlds better and the continuing exercises ("e-cizes") have kept me walking. I do like White Fir mixed with Wintergreen or Deep blue, sometimes I'll use Aroma touch on my shoulders too. I've found that as my shoulders and neck are tight my low back and hips are affected and sometimes I'll focus on the wrong area to stretch. Search youtube for Egoscue and check them out. Hope you're feeling better, back pain can feel so debilitating.

I had a diskectomy in the L4-5 a couple of years ago.   Every so often my lower back goes out, (can be leaning over to tuck in a sheet, bending over while sitting in a chair to put on socks) and I have to go to the Chiropractor to adjust it back.  However, the nerves and muscles are painful for days sometimes even weeks when this happens.  Since my surgery and PT, I am very careful to do certain things certain ways to try to prevent my back from going out. Unfortunately, it doesn't always prevent it.

I am new to oils. A good friend of mine made me a circulation formula after my discectomy and when I roll it on my lower back, it calms my back and it quits hurting for about 20 minutes.  This formula has Frankincense, Fennel, Lavender, Geranium, Peppermint, Juniper, Cypress, and Copaiba. I am thankful that this helps for this amount of time, but was wondering if there was something else that would last longer or if I should be applying the oils to my feet, etc.

I have seen posts that say Frankincense and wintergreen are good for immediate relief, but have also seen that Birch and Soothing Blend can be used for immediate pain relief as well.

I just ordered Wintergreen and Frankincense but could not find Birch listed on my doTERRA office to purchase. I saw where someone posted that Birch is available again.  I see that Helichrysum is also very good.

Can any one tell me what they have used and if they would recommend it? 

My aching back thanks in advance.
Cyndie
