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.


My daughters and I were coloring our hair and I had grabbed a pair of latex gloves from the beauty supply store. Within minutes of putting the gloves on, my hands started itching.

I removed the gloves and my hands were bright red with bumps. I opened my essential oils reference book and read that Peppermint should work well in situations like this.

So I applied a few drops of Peppermint diluted with V-6 mixing oil. The itching stopped immediately and, within a few minutes, the redness and bumps were gone.
