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.
My brother-in-law had athlete's foot and wanted something fast and easy to use. He bought some Thieves Spray and sprayed it 2 to 4 times within 2 to 3 days.
It's the perfect size to throw in a purse, backpack, or luggage. A bottle of Thieves Spray is ideal to keep with you wherever you go.
I do not know how long it took, but apparently it helped because I asked him how his athlete's foot was... and he told me it was gone.

TTO was applied topically once daily to the lesions for 12 days, with a successful outcome, including complete re-epithelization of the infected areas. The case highlights the potential use of TTO in the treatment of common warts due to human papilloma virus." | Link |
