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.
A rash appears on my ankle from time to time for no known reason, and I'm uncomfortable for three or four days with it being itchy and painful.
I have tried several oils with mixed results (the Melrose, Thieves blends and Frankincense) but I'm most satisfied so far with the combo of the PanAway blend, Peppermint and Lavender (in that order) - no itch or pain for three or four hours.
I then scrub my ankle with a cool washcloth and reapply which really helps!
