I've heard how oils are supposed to be better for you, healthier than chemical stimulants. So I am trying frankinsence drops, let's see how this goes!
Backstory - I was involved in a car accident 15+ years ago, I've dealt with TMJ (tempromandibar joint disorder) to a small degree, clicking and popping when I chew basically. I don't know if I've been overly stressed or not sleeping well but my jaw was completely siezed one morning & I haven't been the same at all since. I'm waiting for my dental insurance cards to come in the mail for me to see the dentist, meanwhile, I am popping Advils and eating soft foods. Little by little I munch on a chip or nibble on a cookie to see what will happen, it's so far 50/50. Personally, I can't keep poppin Advils like Pez. I've thought about accupuncture, seeing a chiropractor, pressure point massage. So far I've come to a few wonderful friends that are into the healing benefits of oils. I am researching, reading, weighing in the pros & cons. Trying a small amount at first, last night I put some of this blue menthol stuff around my ear and jaw, it numbed & tingled. Put more on this morning and this afternoon, I'll keep up with this for a bit and see what happens, bought a TEENSY vial of Frankinsence this evening and dabbed a bit on and around my ear.
So day 1, my ear/ jaw is slightly tingle burning - and I am still eating soft foods. GOD this SUCKS!!! 🙊 totally not happy.
