I use Thieves Oil from Young Living (yes, I know, people don't like them, but their oils are good). Clove oil is a main ingredient. I have used it internally many times with no problems. Put some drops in my mouth (burns), swish until mixed with saliva, and swallow. Strong odor of clove for a while. I wonder if this would also give pain relief if applied externally??

It is one of the oils supposedly used by grave robbers during the bubonic plague to keep them protected from the disease. If you use any homeopathics it will antidote them. Doesn't the M2 gel have a lot of magnesium in it? That could also be helping to relax your tissues. You might want to look at a shoe insert that holds your arches properly as 'foot fatigue' can contribute to plantar fasciitis as well. Thanks for sharing this.

I am using the Oil of Cloves from www.studioproducts.com, actually sold as a fine art paint additive. They sent me a bottle to try with an order of their triple distilled turpentine. I asked around what it was good for and Chuck told me that it was good for the kind of pain like being hit in the face with a brick;>) Well that was a pretty good description of my foot pain sometimes so I rubbed some on and began to get immediate relief. To cut it all short, I found out that it worked as good and dried faster when mixed with Miracle II Neutralizer Gel. Just cover the bottom of a shot glass with M2 Neut Gel, add a FEW drops of Clove oil, mix with finger until emulsified, and apply to foot. Warning: Any infections in the body will begin dying. I still get a very mild reaction in my right sinus and upper jaw joint area from it. The first urination after application may burn. That can happen within 30 seconds. Clove oil goes through the skin and throughout the body as fast as or faster than DMSO but it smells good and you don't taste it. > Anything else you used specifically for the PF? < A grounding pad at my feet as I sleep, and 2 of Peter Kulish's "regular" magnets, in a sock, one one each side of foot, green side in. I have tired many other things including many rubbings with DMSO and took lots of various and sundry superfoods and supplements including recently a lot of Knox gelatin but nothing gave me the pain relief that I got from Oil of Cloves. I do think though that the magnets and grounding add much to the actual healing, but do not give the pain relief of the Clove oil. Wash hands afterward. Do NOT get Clove oil in eyes! DaddyBob
