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 suffer from perfume, smoke and recently added dust allergies. I had a constant dry throat which would then cause an annoying cough. The essential oils reference book advised using the Thieves oil blend for a sore throat which had no effect. I was also using the Breathe Again oil blend, which caused me to cough when I first put it on my chest.
Recently I was suffering from a very sore throat after the dust storms and was unsure if it was allergy or a cold, so thought I should raise my frequency and as Jasmine was the most expensive oil I had, I looked up to see what if I could find out what frequency Jasmine was.
The essential oils reference book suggested that Jasmine could help with cough, hoarseness and respiratory conditions. Apply to Vita Flex points and directly on the area of concern.
I placed a couple of drops of Jasmine on my neck outside where my throat was sore and while I was rubbing the oil 3 times clockwise to activate it, the sore throat left. Now I no longer cough, and can be exposed to the allergens without a dry throat when I apply Jasmine to my neck.
It is a life saver for me.
