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.
Hello. I have been using essential oils since October of 2014. I make my own non-toxic body products like deodorant, body scrubs, body butters etc.
I use several drops of Peppermint, Wintergreen and Spearmint in fractioned coconut oil topically for back and neck pain. I am happy to report I have not used Ibuprofen in 3 months. I was taking 1600MG a day since 1980.
I have had reflux so bad that I now use a drop or two of Copaiba and Fennel oil in my water, and I seem to be doing better.
My grandson has a double ear infection so tonight I filled a roller bottle with fractionated coconut oil, a few drops of Basil, Tea Tree, and Lavender. He was in so much pain before I rolled around the back and front of his ears. Within one hour the pain had subsided!
I make bug repellent with Lemongrass, Citronella, Cedarwood, and Lavender that works amazing. It's great for fleas, ticks and mosquitos.
I also make sunscreen with 20 SPF using fractionated coconut oil, Myrrh, Carrot Seed, and Lavender.
I diffuse Thieves oil to keep from getting sick.
I even came up with my own cough medicine for my grandchildren that uses oval honey and a few drops of Lemon oil. I personally use Thieves myself as its a bit stronger and truly stops the coughing.
My next goal is to get off Protonix and blood pressure meds!
