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 13 year old son had a rash show up on his back, arm and right foot below his ankle. So I added 1 to 2 drops of Lavender essential oil to almond oil (you can use any carrier oil you have on hand) and applied it to his affected area. By the time I reached the foot area I ran out of the mixture so I just applied a drop of Lavender right on the rash and rubbed it in.
Before bedtime I also applied Frankincense to the rash on his foot because it was a bigger and more red than what was on his back and arm. The rash was gone by morning. I used a carrier oil along with the Lavender oil to help it go a lot further and also just in case of sensitivity.
We thank God for these oils!
