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.
I used the Melrose oil blend and Rose Ointment on two saddle sores on a horse. By the time the girl told anyone about the sores, they were open, weeping, raw and about 3 inches across on each side of the withers.
The vet had given the owner of the horse several different antibiotic ointments to try, nothing worked and the flies were getting in the sores as well.
So I used about 10 drops of Melrose on each sore and Rose ointment layered over that, and told my friend the owner, to repeat 2 times per day.
I received a call 3 days later that not only were the sores half their size but new hair was already appearing. The hair did come back in white (on a dark horse) but the horse could be saddled and ridden within two weeks of treatment.
The sores had been open for over 3 weeks before treatment with the oils.
