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've long had trouble wearing earrings, even 14k gold would make my ears get infected. First I'd itch, then ooze, then just get really swollen. My ear lobe is too small and thick for clip-ons, so unless I could find a way to wear pierced, I was out of luck.

One day a friend said she dips the posts or wires in one of the popular triple antibiotics. I tried that and it was better than with nothing, but still after a few hours the ears would start to bother me.

One day, I thought, why not try the Animal Scents Ointment. Wow! I can wear the cheapest of earrings all day with no trouble, and even several days in a row, something I could never do even with 14k gold.

I'm so thrilled. I love earrings, but had to give them up previously.
