I use essential oils on a daily basis. I use Frankincense, Eucalyptus, Lavender and a combination of herbs to form an oil called Mental Clarity. I have found that using these oils cuts down on pain, helps with migraines, and is a relaxing agent.
I was assaulted in 2013 and lost my hearing in my left ear. I suffer sinus cavity damage along the back side as well as internal nerve damage in my ear. I have pain behind the ear along the bone and I do not like using pain meds when it flares up due to the weather changing. I also tried prescription medication, and found the side effects made me tired, and not able to think clearly, it was like I was forgetful.
Frankincense is my favorite oil. It does make me sleepy but I don't dilute it as suggested because when my ear pain is extreme, pure oil massaged on the bone and along my neck instantly takes that pain away.
Essential oils were used in Scripture and I will give you both usage and Scripture for your benefit and knowledge. Remember, There is NOTHING new Under the Sun.

2. Lavender
Scripture
Song of Solomon 4
Usage of Lavender
Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing – physically and emotionally. Carrying a bottle of lavender around with you is like having your own personal first aid kit, perfume and pick-me-up.

There are many many more oils to be discovered and used rather than medication made by man. These oils are safe and if you can switch to natural, do so. Only you know your needs; sometimes prescriptions are vital for life, but when you can minimize prescription drugs, you should. Most stores are selling essential oils. I have found mine at Dollar General, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and other stores that are promoting natural remedies. I know they work, plus they smell really good.
