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 severe menstrual cramps, worse than I can ever remember. We were in the car and I was in much pain. I told my husband that at least in labor there is a break between contractions.
I had left my Deep Relief Roll-On at home, and I did not know what else to use. I took two Ibuprofen, which did not touch the pain. I got on my smart phone and checked Oil-Testimonials.com and saw that some people have successfully used Peppermint oil.
Unfortunately I could not find my Peppermint, so I took two more Ibuprofen, and still no change. I looked again and finally found my Peppermint this time. I rubbed a few drops over my abdomen, and within 30 seconds, the pain was completely gone!
The next day the cramps started up again, and the first bottle I found was the PanAway oil blend, which contains Peppermint oil as one of its ingredients.
Within about 2 minutes, the pain stopped once again.
