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.
When I first started with Young Living I was suffering from a diagnosis called Gulf War Syndrome.
I was told when I was in the United States Army in my mid-thirties, that I had arthritis of a 50 year old. I had the cartilage in my knee removed in 1988 and was experiencing a lot of knee pain and swelling. Bone on bone pain.
When I started using Young Living products in 1999, I decided to address the knee issue as well. I would use a few drops of the PanAway oil blend daily, sometimes Peppermint and Wintergreen. Then I started taking the supplements. I started with Sulfurzyme and it seemed to work well on my skin where I would frequently have an inflammatory response from the chemicals I was exposed to in the military. I noticed that my knee was feeling better.
In 2007 I fragmented a disc at L5/S1 and was in terrible pain. I started using AgilEase and NingXia Red juice on a daily basis. My back resolved itself within 18 months and I have never had any knee pain since.
I continue to take NingXia Red juice and Sulfurzyme daily. I put 2 heaping teaspoons of Sufurzyme in 2-4 ounces of NingXia Red EVERYDAY! I will be 60 next Tuesday and I feel great, no aches and pains, my skin is looking great and I owe it all to Young Living.
A side note: My mother had fallen and torn the cartilage in her knee a couple of years ago and she had to use a 3-footed cane to get around. She was in terrible pain every time she would have to get up and walk around. Her doctor told her she had bone on bone. I gave her my NingXia Red/Sulfurzyme combo along with taking 3 AgilEase capsules daily. Her knee pain is gone and she takes other supplements to keep her in good health, like Multigreens, Omegagize, Life 5 and ComforTone. You wouldn't know she will be 83 in June.

| 2. | Associated topics: skin — "Local application of frankincense essential oil may provide a non-surgical treatment alternative, with no or minimal side effect for carcinoma in situ, minimally invasive carcinoma and pre-cancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: skin — "[M]any curative properties attributed to various plants in indigenous medicine are also present in their essential oils.... These oils exert a number of general effects from the pharmacological viewpoint. When applied locally, the essential oils mix readily with skin oils, allowing these to attack the infective agents quickly and actively.... In vitro studies [were] conducted by the author on antimicrobial and anthelmintic [destructive to parasitic worms] properties of some essential oils...." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: joints — "Ruxiang (Gummi olibanum), the dried gum resin of Boswellia carterii (BC) [frankincense], has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate pain and inflammation for thousands of years.... The data show that BC extract has significant anti-arthritic and anti-inflammation effects and suggest that these effects may be mediated via the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines." | Link |
| 5. | Associated topics: joints — "We have demonstrated that Boswellia frereana [frankincense] prevents collagen degradation, and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and MMPs. Due to its efficacy we propose that B. frereana should be examined further as a potential therapeutic agent for treating inflammatory symptoms associated with arthritis." | Link |

Due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, it is thought to prevent wound infections and to play a role in reducing pain by lowering inflammation.... Lavender oil is known to have antibacterial, antifungal, sedative, and/or antidepressant effects.... In addition to its antimicrobial effects, the anti-inflammatory analgesic properties of lavender oil have also been emphasized... The use of L.

There are also reports that lavender oil reduces scar tissue." | Link |
| 7. | Associated topics: skin — "Tea tree oil (TTO) (Melaleuca alternifolia) has been used recently as an effective topical application for the treatment of skin infections due to a variety of aetiological microbial agents, including mainly bacterial infections. We detail... the successful treatment with TTO of a paediatric patient with warts on her right middle finger. TTO was applied topically once daily to the lesions for 12 days, with a successful outcome, including complete re-epithelization of the infected areas. The case highlights the potential use of TTO in the treatment of common warts due to human papilloma virus." | Link |
