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.


We have been using this combination of 5-7 drops of Helichrysum and Copaiba in a carrier oil for a few months now. I am impressed at how both the humans and dogs I have used this on have recovered and shown relief from trigger point and neck pain.

As a veterinary surgeon in Greenslopes, Brisbane, I have been using complementary therapies for over 20 years. Essential oils combined with TENS, acupuncture and massage are a great tool.
