I have not been on in a while. So forgive me if this has been discussed to death. Does anyone else get a pretty good herx from essential oils? I am not talking ones particularly directed to Lyme. My daughter gave me a diffuser and some oils for Christmas. I decided to try one that said, Deep muscle relief. I got sick! My head felt weird. I ached all over. It took me about an hour to figure it out that it was the oil. I don't herx easily anymore having been on the Rawls protocol for 22 months. This really surprise me. I got in a detox bath the relieve my pain. Some time later, I tried it again, same thing. I am trying some others in the collection I received. I feel some muscle aches, but not like the first.
Here is what is in Deep Muscle Relief, by Best Blends: Camphor, Eucalyptus lavender, peppermint, Rosemary and wintergreen. Anyone have a clue? I've read some comments on line, and some think it isn't a herx, but the essential oils dredge the Lyme up. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
