There are three Young Living supplements that have been quite useful in addressing pain – BLM, Sulfurzyme and Coral Sea. When taken together, these supplements work synergistically to nourish and build the health of our muscoskeletal systems. 
BLM
Formulated from the most potent, natural ingredients known, BLM protects mobility and the health of your Bones Ligaments and Muscles.
Key ingredients include: Collagen Type II, MSM, glucosamine sulfate, manganese citrate and the essential oils of Clove, Idaho Balsam Fir and Wintergreen.
Idaho Balsam Fir is one of the richest sources of limonene, a powerful antioxidant that may help ease stress and tension in joints and in the muscoskeletal system. More on BLM.
Sulfurzyme 
Sulfurzyme is a terrific supplement and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular – MSM, a key ingredient in Sulfurzyme, which has been proven to be extremely effective in relieving pain, especially tissue and joint pain. MSM is also a source of organic sulfur (not to be confused with sulfa), shown to reduce the inflammation of arthritis, relieve muscle spasms, improve blood flow and deliver biologically active sulfur to the joints.
Because MSM is not absorbed well unless it is taken with high levels of Vitamin C, amino acids and protein, Sulfurzyme includes Chinese wolfberries which contain all three!
How MSM works to control pain: When fluid pressure inside the cell is higher than the outside pressure, pain is experienced. The MSM found in Sulfurzyme equalizes fluid pressure by affecting the protein envelope of the cell so that water transfers freely in and out. More on Sulfurzyme.
Essential Oils Known for Helping Reduce Pain
To find the essential oils and supplements that can help relieve your pain, you may need to try a few different oils and combinations because every body is different. See 5 Tips for Getting the Most From Your Essential Oils (different methods of application).
- Peppermint is one of the most effective essential oils for blocking pain. In one study that compared the effectiveness of Peppermint oil to acetaminophen for headache pain, Peppermint “efficiently alleviated tension-type headaches and… was a well tolerated and cost effective alternative to conventional therapies.” (Gobel et al., 1996). Peppermint inhibits smooth muscle contractions by blocking calcium influx into the muscle cells, thus blocking the transmission of pain signals. (Forster et al., 1980; Giachetti et al.,1988)
- PanAway is well known by users for its pain-relieving properties. PanAway a blend of Wintergreen, Clove, Helichrysum and Peppermint. The eugenol in Clove has a long history of use for pain relief in dentistry and for rheumatism, arthritis and headaches.
- Relieve It is a blend of Spruce, Black Pepper, Hyssop and Peppermint. Conifer oils such as Spruce have traditionally been used for topical relief of rheumatism and arthritis. Black Pepper relieves muscle aches, pain and stiffness by dilating blood vessels and bringing additional circulation to the area.
Other Essential Oils and Massage Oils Useful for Pain Discomforts
- Copaiba (strong anti-inflammatory properties)
- Motivation or Gentle Baby (I like these for muscle spasm/cramping)
- Idaho Balsam Fir (anti-inflammatory properties)
- Nutmeg (anti-inflammatory)
- Palo Santo (this has worked well for my stiff neck)
- Frankincense (helps muscles to relax, may not directly help feelings of pain though)
- Ortho Ease and Ortho Sport are two wonderful massage oils to use before and after sports or exercise. Ortho Sport is the stronger of the two.
- Cel-Lite Magic is also a massage oil that can be useful when lymph is sluggish.
Common Sense Precautions
- Young Living essential oils are highly concentrated. When applying topically, dilute one or two drops of essential oil in one tablespoon of pure vegetable oil. If any skin irritation results, add more carrier oil or discontinue use.
- Black Pepper, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Marjoram, Thyme, Oregano, and Thieves oil are considered ‘hot’ spice oils, so test skin sensitivity first by applying a small amount on the inside of the arm with a little V-6 Massage Oil.
- Hot essential oils should always be used with a carrier oil, such as V-6.
- Dilution with V-6: 2 drops essential oil to 1 TBSP V-6. Yes, you can always dilute your essential more if you like.
- Never dilute essential oils with water when being used topically. Always use V-6 or another pure vegetable oil.
- If essential oil gets into the eyes, use a drop of your carrier oil to dilute, do NOT use water.

Dog and cat lovers want to do the best for their pets. Some of us spoil our pets more then others, like ordering natural foods and meats, that come delivered right to their home. I’ve even watched programs where ones pet eats better then they do. That’s a bit over the top as far as my way of thinking goes, but whatever works for each of us, to help us feel we are doing the best for our pets, well that’s what’s important.
