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.
If you have ever had an ocular migraine, you know how frightening it can be. Flashing lights appear out of nowhere. Initially it seems like a camera flash has gone off in your face, followed by spots of light, progressing to zig zag patterns of flashing light.
Because my father had experienced something similar, I did not feel the need to go to the hospital. But I could not stop seeing the flashing lights, which continued even when my eyes were closed.
Having read how helpful Frankincense oil can be with eye issues, I put a drop in the palms of my hands, rubbed them together and then cupped my hands over my eyes. I kept my eyes open and moved them up, down, and side to side. In less than a minute the flashing lights disappeared and my vision returned to normal.
Just had to share this and I'm so very grateful this high quality oil worked. I have a follow-up appointment with my eye doctor, and hoping for a positive outcome.
