I’m skeptical by nature. I stopped believing in Santa at age 5, stopped going to church at 16, and astrology? I never fell for that B.S. for a second. But my life-long back problems have been particularly annoying lately, and I’m getting desperate. Not desperate enough to pray or anything ridiculous like that, but desperate enough to look into non-traditional, hippie-dippie crap like acupuncture and essential oils.

I haven’t actually tried acupuncture yet, but I’m thinking about it. Anybody tried it for back pain? Love? Hate? Give me the scoop. I did try essential oils though, and I was pleasantly surprised (freaked out almost) at how quickly they worked. I used peppermint and lavender EOs diluted in coconut oil and rubbed them on my back, and within 5 minutes the muscles were just as relaxed as when I take a prescription muscle relaxer! Don’t go giving me a tarot reading or anything, but I might be an aromatherapy convert.

  1. You have to go to acupuncture a few times to know if it will work for you. What brand of essential oils are you using, I want to try them too since you had some relief.
