My journey toward finding a solution for chronic pain began over 68 years ago. When I was 18, I was a passenger on a motorcycle when we were broad-sided by a car pulling out of a driveway. It was nothing short of a miracle—though both the driver and I were injured, the motorcycle remained upright long enough to get off the road. I ended up on the ground with a double-compound fracture.

Over 40 years ago, I began experiencing constant pain all over my body, with many of the classic symptoms of fibromyalgia. I desperately sought a solution to the inflammation and poor circulation I was struggling with. Like most people, my medicine chest was full of products designed to mask symptoms. I was taking Tylenol like candy and relying on other over-the-counter "remedies," but nothing worked. I hoped for even a small measure of relief, but it only worsened over time. Nothing up to that point gave me the relief I was searching for.

About 14 years ago, I was walking through a festival on the Oregon coast, where various vendors were selling everything from jewelry to food, and cosmetics to lotions. I’d seen many products that claimed to remove pain, but none of them worked for me. As a more casual browser than a shopper, I was about to pass one booth when I saw a banner that read, “GOT PAIN? Have You Tried Topical Nutritives?” I was intrigued. You might ask, "What does that mean?" Essential oils are plant extracts distilled in water or infused into a carrier oil. Once applied to the skin, they become transdermal—meaning they work through the skin to provide relief.

The women at the booth let me try their products, and right away, I knew it was something different. In just a few minutes, I discovered a product that worked and provided lasting results. Instead of just masking symptoms and shutting down pain receptors (which can hinder the body’s ability to heal), within 30 days, I felt my body start to rebalance cells and neurotransmitters as it absorbed nutrients into the damaged tissues. By the fourth month of using the products, the symptoms of fibromyalgia completely disappeared. The brain fog lifted, and even the forest seemed greener. The daily meltdowns I had been experiencing vanished, along with everything I had stored in my medicine chest.

I was so excited about the new products I had discovered that I couldn’t wait to spread the word. I also started to work for the company behind these products.

I hadn’t been very successful as a sales representative, so I started with some hesitation. After working for the company for three years, they told me I was one of their top representatives and wanted me to travel to other locations, even out of state. However, they didn’t offer support to help me get there. At the time, I was 65 years old and still juggling a full schedule cleaning homes for others. While I learned valuable business strategies, there were no benefits or perks, and I realized it was time to move on.

With $1200 in my business account, I began praying about starting my own company. I had an idea for providing effective products for pain relief, but I wasn’t sure what to call it. After months of brainstorming, I still hadn’t found the perfect name. Many people have asked me how I came up with the name “The King’s Herbals.” One morning, as I woke up, almost before I even opened my eyes, I heard God speak to me: “You haven’t found a name because you want it to honor Me, right? I have an idea you may like. How about naming your company after Me and calling it The King’s Herbals?” Those two sentences grabbed my attention, and without hesitation, I said, “Absolutely! Yes, Sir. That’s perfect!” That was in 2014. By the end of 2015, my initial $1200 investment had returned 120%, even with the ongoing reinvestment.

Along the way, I discovered the power of essential oils for pain relief and inflammation. Topically applied over unbroken skin, all of my products provide gentle and effective relief, helping others feel better. I created these products not only for my benefit but because I deeply care about helping people with all kinds of pain, whether chronic, surgery-related, or injury-related.

I know how difficult it is to live with chronic pain, and I understand the frustration of not finding lasting relief. I created Essential Pain Relief after my struggles, and it’s made a world of difference for me. If you're open to exploring a solution, you can experience it yourself by visiting here. I truly hope it brings you the comfort you deserve.
