Buyer beware.
One summer afternoon, my children and I were enjoying the weather in our backyard. I noticed my 3 year old playing with a bug or something from afar. All of a sudden, he jumped and screamed.
I couldn't see what it was, so I went over and asked him some questions. This is difficult in a 3 year old! He insisted it was not a bee, so I looked up a picture of a hornet on the Internet and asked him if that was what 'bit' him. He seemed to indicate 'yes'.
I immediately put on some of the Purification oil blend, and then rubbed in some Rose Ointment. I then had to put his 2 younger siblings down for a nap.
Fifteen minutes later, I got back to him and noticed that his sting had swollen quite a bit and looked painful. I realized that I should not have put on Rose Ointment, since it locks in the oil and what I needed Purification to do in this case was DRAW OUT the venom.
I washed off his finger, and then reapplied Purification oil. I also used an icepack for a little bit, because the swelling was so extreme. The bite was on the joint of his pinkie finger. We sat on the couch and read a book for 15 minutes, and every 2 minutes I applied a couple more drops. Then it was time for his nap.
When he awoke 1.5 hours later, there was NO SIGN of the bite.
I asked if it hurt, and he said no, and then -- not believing him -- I rubbed my finger across where the bite had been, and he showed no signs of pain.
Amazing!

In vivo analysis and histological assay showed that the two essential oils displayed significant dose-dependent edema [swelling] inhibition effect over time. They displayed strong analgesic [pain-relieving] and antipyretic [fever-reducing] properties similar to that induced by 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylate of lysine.... This work demonstrates the anti-inflammatory property of Cymbopogon citratus [Lemongrass] and Eucalyptus citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus], suggesting their potential role as adjuvant therapeutic alternatives in dealing with inflammatory-related diseases." | Link |
