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 2 year old grandson developed what looked like insect bites here and there while on a Thanksgiving vacation with his parents and little brother. By the time they came home the one "bite" on his diaper edge had become a headless boil. The pediatrician wanted to do surgery to remove it.
Instead at bedtime his dad put Lavender oil diluted with virgin olive oil on the boil and then rubbed the toddler's feet with the oil that remained on his hands. The next morning the boil was drained.
That night his dad again put the diluted Lavender on the boil and the feet. The next day when the Mom took the toddler back to the doctor the boil was all gone and the doctor was completely amazed.
Needless to say the toddler slept very peacefully with the Lavender oil and there was no pain. Using high quality oils is a beautiful and gentle alternative to the drastic efforts of the medical community to fix something.
Gentle solutions are my first choice.
