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 recently went on a "swamp tour" while visiting New Orleans. Afterwards, while standing on the bank of the bayou, I started having stinging all over my ankle and foot! When I looked down, it was covered with ants that were biting. I'd stepped in a nest, and they were really unhappy with me.

Fortunately, I had the Purification oil blend with me to repel mosquitoes, so I brushed all the ants away and immediately applied the oil all over. The intense stinging stopped almost immediately and there were no visible bites.

I was told by another passenger in the shuttle that they were fire ants. This man recently had a similar experience in Texas for which he had to take medication for a very ugly reaction.

I am grateful for the natural remedies essential oils provide.
