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.

Buyer beware.


I have been experiencing some very itchy patches of skin on my arm due to an allergic reaction to something.

My arm was very red, inflamed and extremely itchy!! I tried to get relief from many different oils but nothing worked on my skin.

When I was just about at my wits end I put the Thieves oil blend on my feet and the itching finally subsided within about a half an hour.

I kept reapplying it to keep the itch from coming back.
