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.


Recently I had to pull a tiny tick off of my stomach with tweezers. Unfortunately one leg of the tick remained embedded under my skin. I tried using a needle and tweezers to get it out, to no avail. I was in a bit of a panic when it would not come out.

Then I started using a drop or two of the Thieves oil blend on that area, in hopes that it would draw it out. I rubbed 1 drop of oil on the location once a day for a few days. The area scabbed over and the tick leg was gone when the scab fell off.

I was quite relieved it was gone!
