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.
Several times this year I got an eye stye. It is a red swollen lump on the outer edge, inside or under the eyelid. They are very painful and take about 2 weeks for them to go away.
The second time I got one, I checked my essential oil reference book and found out that Lavender oil assisted with eye infections. I applied a drop or two of Lavender on my temples and between my eyes on the bridge of my nose every time I remembered, which was about 3-5 times daily. In three days, my stye had disappeared! I am thrilled to have figured this out!
I did the same thing with a very painful earache to which I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital as a last resort for antibiotics. I applied the oil around my ear and a few drops on a piece of cotton batten and placed on the ear canal opening. It cleared up in two days.
Many thanks to Lavender oil!
