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 son age 13, had a badly ingrown toenail and when I took him to the doctor for his basketball physical. He said that they might need to remove part of the nail.
I said that I wanted to use essential oils first to see if we could avoid the nail removal procedure.
I used a few drops of each of the Purification, Melrose oil blends and Lavender oil on his toe for a period of two weeks twice a day and had him soak his foot every other day during this period.
He no longer has an ingrown toenail and his doctor is impressed that he didn't need to take the antibiotics that he prescribed either.
