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.


After coming back from a cruise, I came down with swimmers ear. I had never had that condition before, but I can say it was extremely painful. I was new to the oils and decided to go to the doctor to have it diagnosed and treated.

I was given an antibiotic but chose to look at the protocol in the essential oils reference book and see if it would work before I used the antibiotic. I used primarily the Purification and Melrose oil blends (around and under the ear) and it took the pain away within a day.

I was so impressed. I never used the antibiotic and I was pain free and the condition never returned.
