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 have 3 boys who have dealt with psoriasis. I wish I had known a number of years ago about essential oils, but I did not. My oldest had it for an extended time!
It finally resolved for the most part for my oldest son, but it does flare up occasionally, and I have now come up with a blend that has helped us immensely, eradicating it within a week or so.
I purchased Un-petroleum Jelly from Vitacost.com. In a 2 oz jar I blended 5 drops each of Lavender, the Purification, Thieves oil blends and Marjoram with the Un-petroleum jelly, applying several times a day.
These oils are ones I had on hand, and they worked very well for us. We have eliminated sugar and eat whole grains, and thankfully have had no more outbreaks.
Our older son is in San Antonio, and is working on eating healthier, but occasionally does have minor outbreaks, but at least he knows what works for him when there is an outbreak!
