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 son got into some poison ivy three days ago. His best friend did also. The best friend has been to the doctor and had two prescription medications and two non-prescription creams to use at home. He missed most of school yesterday and possibly will be out tomorrow and is quite miserable. It's spread everywhere...and I do mean everywhere.
My son hasn't gotten it quite as bad but when he got home today, he was begging me for some relief. I applied these three oils layered and did not dilute them. If you have not used these oils, I would highly suggest dilution with a carrier oil:
* Peppermint
* Thieves oil blend
* Lemongrass
He experienced some mild burning since he's scratched several places until they bled. Four hours later, he was itching again and took a bath with 2 cups of apple cider vinegar. When he got out of the tub, I went to reapply the oils. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures beforehand but the swelling was reduced a full FIFTY percent.
I am in shock at how well this has worked and am very interested to see how they are in the morning.
Young Living oils are absolutely wonderful!
