I had a client that used homeopathic medicine and it worked wonders. Also a few essential oils can help. If you like a list, let me know.

Yes, if you had a list, that would be absolutely great. I am in the process of using osha root extract and a concoction called "Facial Pain Drops"; it contains aconitum napellus (4X), atropa belladonna (6X), salix alba (3X), trigeminal nerve, bovine (16X, 30X), purified water and alcohol. It has helped somewhat but for me, the jury is still out on the use of dessicated animal organs. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Also, I have to make a comment on the variety of posts I've been reading. I am starting massage school in approximately 1-2 months. The classes are 9 months long. Afterwards, I will start giving massages in my home (the therapy room is being set-up as we speak!). The things that make me absolutely livid are first, "sensual" massages (Tulsa is rampant with 'massage parlors, not therapy studios), and draping. About "sensual" massages. This is just thinly-veiled prostitution. Plain and simple. It makes me sick that it is under the guise of "massage". If someone wants THAT sort of "massage", look up an escort service; in my opinion, it is almost slanderous to refer to that as massage. Now, draping. In everything I've gleaned from magazines, manuals, the Internet and just speaking with people, a massage is about working on muscles. I have received quite a few massages and draping seems to interrupt the "flow" of the massage. I realize that this is a personal opinion but it just seems people are so caught-up in the Puritanical ideals that were drilled into our heads growing up, they now feel somewhat "ashamed" or "embarassed" to be nude. In all the people I've spoken to before decideing on massage therapy as a career, not one person entered this field just wanting to touch people's breasts, buttocks, penises, or vaginas. This is a terrible misconception by the general public prevalent today but thankfully, is changing. Therapists are there to work on muscles; the body as a whole is just a barrier in getting to those muscles. And lastly, I do realize that the comfort level of the person getting worked on needs to be first and foremost. Time to get off of my soapbox. That was my "rant" for 2004!

Peppermint with helichrysum and/or juniper.Rub on the area of the facial nerve, which is in front and behind the ear and on areas of pain. Oils may be diluted in a carrier oil before use. As with any essential oil, use carefully and fully research each oil for condraindications that may pertain to you. Peppermint... use caution if you have high blood pressure. Could cause senstitivity on the skin. Use with caution if pregrant. Helichrysum....none Juniper....none I also used lavender with my client too. More or less for the inflamatory properties plus the benefit of being able to relax the client, who is typically a bit stressed due to the condition. T
