It’s been a while since any of the kids woke with growing pains, but this morning my 12 year old woke with a severe one in his calf. I rubbed on it 2 drops of Panaway and layed a warm rice pack on top. He’s now sleeping again – and no pain meds needed – I wouldn’t have even considered it. My second oil of choice would have been Copaiba if the Panaway was not working. Panaway is one of several Young Living blends that are powerful natural alternatives to over the counter pain meds. It has wintergreen, clove, helichrysum and peppermint. I don’t always like to use it at nighttime as the peppermint can be stimulating and might keep one awake. I new I wouldn’t have to worry about my growing teenager with this. I’ve also used one of their roll-on blends: Deep Relief roll-on which has peppermint, wintergreen, copaiba and Palo Santo essential oils. Aroma Siez is another blend that might be useful for growing pains.
One reason I like Young Living products is Gary Young has formulated some great blends like Panaway, Deep Relief Roll-on and Aroma Siez that contain some expensive oils like helichrysum. You don’t have to purchase all the different oils to mix up a recipe and you get synergistic blend of powerful oils that is greater than the individual oils themselves.
I have growing pains all the time.
and rice packs work.
