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.
At night before I go to sleep I rub the magic concoction of Geranium, Helichrysum and Cypress and some V-6 mixing oil on my feet, ankles and calves.
In the morning I wake up able to walk without pain and my ankles visibly reduced in size.
It feels great, smells nice and I am sure helps me to sleep.
