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.


Several days ago we took an unexpected walk through a wooded area on our property. While there I found a few seed ticks and when I got home, removed them as quickly as I could.

A while later I began to itch, so I put some Lavender on it, but it didn't stop so I also added Purification. This seemed to help some but didn't do away with it.

During the night I used coconut oil as a means to spread it and used these two and added Peppermint! This combination eased it but didn't do away with it.

The next evening after a miserable day at work I saw a bottle of Cedarwood that I had just gotten but hadn't used. I thought, "Why not"? Almost immediately the itching subsided completely! I was amazed!

Cedarwood is definitely my new favorite oil!
