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.
I have suffered from ocular migraines in my right eye for the past 40 years. These are painless. The only problem is that I lose anywhere from 40-90% of my vision in my right eye. It takes from 5-20 minutes to get all the vision restored. This makes it very difficult to drive when one hits.
While at my first essential oil class, a girl said she used Frankincense around the orbit of her eyes for wrinkles. Shortly after using it, she had to go to the optometrist because her glasses weren't working any longer. The doctor said her vision had improved in one of her eyes.
So I decided to give it a try. Just 2 days after putting a couple of drops around my eyes, I had an ocular migraine. It was totally different from what I had ever experienced. It only lasted a second.
I am happy to say that I have not lost my vision since then. I do still get the pressure associated with the migraines... just no loss of vision! I was having these several times per week.
I praise God that he led me to these essential oils!
