Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Yesterday I had a toe cramp that just would not go away!
Typically I flex my foot by pulling my toes back towards my ankle and holding them there. This normally gives me quick relief. However, this time I was flexing for about 30 minutes with no change.
I thought about what the toe needed, and the word "relaxation" came to mind. Relaxation for me is associated with magnesium, Lavender essential oil, and Valor essential oil blend.
So I got up and took 2 magnesium tablets. Then I sprinkled a few drops of Lavender and Valor directly on the affected toe, rubbing it all around and in-between the toes.
In less than five minutes I had total relief. Was it the essential oils or the magnesium? I lean towards the belief that it was the oils because the relief came so quickly.
