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.
If I don't drink enough water daily, I will get symptoms of a UTI immediately.
I rub several drops each of Juniper and the Endoflex oil blend on the bladder area and place a hot compress (dry towel against the skin and a hot towel on the dry towel) on the area for about 30 minutes.
This always takes care of these symptoms. I continue this treatment 1-2 times daily for about 5 days.

| 3. | Associated topics: bladder — "Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis proposed multiple pathways that can be activated by frankincense oil to induce bladder cancer cell death. Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment." | Link |
