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.
Last year I went to my GP for a rash I had on my backside. It appeared during the hot, sweaty summer months and I just assumed it was a prickly heat type rash. NOTHING I used would keep the itching down and I would scratch myself raw during the night due to its intensity.
Finally broke down and went to the doctor who prescribed an anti-fungal cream. Lo and behold, pure relief.....even felt cooling, and best of all, it stopped itching. Downside of the problem was as SOON as the tube of ointment was gone, the rash reappeared with a vengeance.
I tried several of the Young Living anti-fungal oils, some causing the skin to peel off but never got total relief and it would start nagging me again. FINALLY one evening in desperation, I went through Dr. Stewart's book "The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple" and he listed on page 314 that Wintergreen was antifungal.
This is NOT listed as an anti-fungal oil in the essential oils reference book. I immediately applied it 50/50 with coconut oil and the rash was completely gone by morning. I even got that cooling effect that I'd gotten with the doctors prescribed ointment. The best part is it's been over a month now and it hasn't even come back!
I wanted to give this testimonial for others who have tried and failed to find relief from a certain protocol. KEEP trying a different oil if you don't at first get results with what your reference book recommends. Every persons body chemistry is different and oils may react differently on you then it will on others.
Hope this helps someone else out there. I LOVE this website.....it's helped me out so many times already.
