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 2 year old granddaughter had a fire ant bite on her foot. Her foot was swollen double and almost purple in color. She was having a hard time sleeping due to the itching, so I took the Peace & Calming oil blend knowing my daughter didn't believe in the oils.

I told her the Peace & Calming would help her rest. I put the oil on her foot and we put her back to bed. She not only went right to sleep but when she got up in the morning the swelling was down by half and the color in her foot was back to normal.

My daughter couldn't believe it. She has since ordered a bottle to keep with her all the time.

We now use Peace & Calming on all bug bites and stings, it does wonders. I carry it with me all the time.
