Essential oils

[Dakota13]

Has anyone had luck with essential oils? A friend mentioned that she had heard that they may help

[Joolsg]

I haven’t had any success with them but maybe someone else has.

I was hoping. Thanks for the info. I appreciate your input

Hello! I haven’t had an success with these helping RLS, but in terms of helping me mentally wake up I find that Rosemary Oil helps. I also use Lavendar Oil to help calm my mental nerves.

[Dakota13 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your response, As you know anything that helps one deal with RLS is greatly appreciated. I’m going to try your suggestions 😊

You’re welcome!🙂

I rub Rosemary Oil behind my ears and on my neck. On days when I’m out and I feel like I’m going to collapse at any time (a.k.a. my true emergencies), I lay it on so heavily that I end up sweating it out my pores!

I use the Lavendar Oil behind the ears as well as on my pulse points (temples, inside of wrists).

I also have a couple of aroma balls that I use on my pulse points.

I have a bottle of Dr. Hauschka’s Moor Lavendar Soothing Body Oil on my nightstand. This works very well at calming me down (works really fast too — within 5 minutes!).

All my oils save for Dr. Hauschka go everywhere with me. Dr. Hauschka went out with me once, I used it on the bus, and let’s just say I felt a drunken calmness at an inappropriate time.

I hope these work for you!

I had a little success insomuch as I bought a 'calm legs' essential oils blend which my good lady wife massaged into my lower back. The massaging action helped in a distraction sort of way but unfortunately once it stopped my focus was back on the pain and crawling in my legs.

I've tried several essential oils in hot baths but other than the relief of the hot baths there was no other effects.

Thanks Ralf’s. Darn it I was really hoping the oils would help. Thanks for your reply 😊

A blend called Nighttime Leg Calm rubbed onto low back area helps me at night but I also take 2.5 mg of LDZn ( low dose naltrexone) twice a day. I also put 3 tablets of Hyland’s Restful !egs homeopathic tabs under my tongue at night. This helps to take the edge off.

[Dakota13 in reply to Kayakcarole]

Thanks for the info. I’m going to try some of the Hylands RL tabs. It is always good to hear about what helps others.

Thanks again 😊

[Kayakcarole in reply to Dakota13]

You can even take 3 tabs every 15 minutes a couple times. I buy them on Amazon in packs of 4.

[Dakota13 in reply to Kayakcarole]

Thanks I’ll order some 😊

I got into essential oils just to see if it would help. I have had no success with it. At times it actually made it worse unfortunately.

[Dakota13 in reply to FrustratedinTX]

Thanks for your input. I’ve tried several different ones but no help either. Good luck to you

Hi Dakota13

I have used good quality lavender oil it has offered a little bit of help .

My son lives in the UK he takes lavender capsules which he finds really does help his RSL and allows him to sleep,

[Dakota13 in reply to Shumbah]

Thanks Shumbah. I’ll try it. I read your bio this morning and look forward to more of your posts. Did you see that I’m a new follower? 😊I admire you for all of the time you put into this forum and the good advice. Thank you,
