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.
As a massage therapist, I tell my clients what I see going on with their skin, that they may not be aware is even there. This includes moles or bruising, etc.
A week ago a client came to me with a bite or sting just above the elbow on the front side of both arms. They were red and "hot". I asked her if they hurt or itched so I could stay away from it as I worked, I didn't want to irritate the area and make her uncomfortable. She said they were driving her crazy.
I quickly applied several drops of the Purification oil blend. She said during the night her husband woke up and took hold of her hands to stop her from scratching her hide off while she slept.
Long story short...before she left, I got two band-aids, put the Purification blend on each and applied it to her arms. I always instruct my clients to leave all the oils I have used on them at least 2 hours or over night if possible. I told her to leave the band-aids on all night and no shower till morning.
She called me the next morning wanting to know, "what in the world did you use on my bites?" She said when she took off the band-aids they were covered with "stuff" that was covering the bites. She wanted some of what ever it was! She went online and signed up with Young Living right then.
