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 am currently nursing a child and a gland near my areola began to get tender to the touch. It was uncomfortable!

So I just put a few drops of Lavender oil on it neat, and it cleared it right up. Within hours it was pain free and this was after 3 days of pain. I didn't use warm compresses or anything else, just the oil.
