"After trying several over-the-counter meds for my daughter's cold and congestion, I just couldn't get her comfortable enough to sleep through the night. Being a doctor's daughter, I just didn't believe that essential oils would "do the trick". Finally, since nothing else worked, I put several drops of peppermint in her bath water and had her soak in the tub taking deep breaths. She not only felt better, but actually slept a whole 12 hours and felt clear headed all the way until the following afternoon! From then on, we've always used peppermint essential oil in the tub rather than any "drugs" for her colds and she's been GREAT!"
*"I have found that applying two to three drops of peppermint oil (undiluted) to my forehead and temples a few minutes before riding in a car works great for keeping my motion sickness symptoms under control without the drowsiness common to other remedies."
"My husband was in a car accident that resulted in severe curvature of the spine (involving constant back pain for years, and it made him 2 inches shorter). After countless visits to different chiropractors, we gave up and figured this was a permanent deal. Recently we were introduced to the raindrop technique. After only one application, his spine is considerably straighter and he was 1.5 inch taller! He is feeling much better and we are doing the technique weekly for maintenance."
*"I hurt my back in November 2004. I had minor discomfort every day for months. In June 2005, I started doing yoga, but I still felt the discomfort. In August of that year, I began having the Raindrop Technique performed on me. Each time I had a Raindrop done, it was a major leap forward, as I felt less discomfor and more mobile. In October 2005, I felt no discomfort at all. It is a real boon to be getting my life back!"
"My son grew over a foot in 6 months time and was diagnosed with Osgood Slatter disease. The pain in his knees after basketball practice was unbearable, and the simple heat-then-ice process wasn't enough. So, I added Pan Away essential oil to the process and it truly relieved the inflammation and pain. Now, he uses it BEFORE every practice and game (with heat) and then uses it again AFTER every practice and game (with ice) and he is literally pain free!"
*"I crossed my left leg over my right in some way that my right kneecap did not like at all. There was immediate discomfort over the right kneecap. I took my PanAway out and rubbed it on the knee, and, within sixty seconds, the discomfort was gone. In about an hour, the discomfort returned, but much less intense. I repeated the application of PanAway, and the discomfot left almost immediately and did not return."


"We tried everything imaginable to help with my son's acne problem...from over the counter to prescription products and even the famous televised product that the stars use. But none of them worked. Finally, we tried a combination of Purification and Lavender simply rubbed on his face every morning and night and his face was 100% clearer after ONE DAY! With continued use we are seeing amazing results with his skin."

"We use RC combined with Thieves for instant relief from colds, bronchitits, sore throats, sunusitis, coughs and respiratory congestion. By simply rubbing the oils on the infected areas (on chest, etc.) or soaking in a hot tub with the oils (taking deep breaths, inhaling them) we get fast releif!"

*"I had an incident where makeup that was applied to my face caused a minor reaction. My face and eyes swelled up and were painful to the touch. I washed off the makeup and applied a combination of jojoba oil mixed with YL Frankinsense oil with a ratio of 1:1. I went to bed and the next morning my skin was entirely back to normal! My wrinkles even looked less noticable!"

*"I took my kids swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. We came out with splotches of tar (petroleum) all over our legs and feet. At first I tried soap & water, but it didn't help, although I scrubbed until my skin was raw. Then I tried Lemon oil. It was amazing! It was as if I was wiping off soot! The tar came right off, no scrubbing needed!"

*"In the past, whenever I would get the hiccups, I'd suffer through them, and they'd come and go for about twenty-four hours straight. The last few times I've had the hiccups, I've put a couple of drops of lavender oil in my hand and rubbed my hand across my abdomen where my diaphragm is and the hiccups were gone within a minute or two. And the neat thing is they don't come back any time soon!"

*"For those who ingest essential oils in capsules but don't like the taste that follows, try adding a couple of drops of wintergreen!"


*"I keep Lemongrass in a spray bottle to spray my kids' bed linens for bed bugs. If the kids are having other issues, trouble sleeping for instance, I add some Roman Chamomile to the mix."

*"To prevent clenching my teeth during sleep, I rub Aroma Siez on my jawline and behind my ears."

*"My husband, Michael, has been using Citrus Fresh after shaving and hasn't had any kind of rash whatsoever. He has a tough beard growth but has no red blotches or white bumps when he doesn't shave fora day or so. Michael is telling everyone he comes in contact with, "this is a chemical=free aftershave!"."

*"For those who have restless and jumpy legs at night, I've found that massaging Peace & Calming on my legs before bedtime stops those concerns in their tracks! It also promotes a good night's sleep."

"I rub Thieves on my childrens' palms of hands and bottoms of feet for protection from colds and viruses.
If I get a swollen gland, I simply rub Thieves on it at bedtime and by morning its back to normal."
*"I love putting Thieves in my humidifiers to prevent microbe overgrowth, and it makes the mist smell lovely. Although the water is heated intensely in the small chamber that creates the mist, the standing tanks of water are not heated so Thienves can ork its magic and there and then add that wonderful scent to the room when the mist is expelled."

*"I had a client who, at age seventy-eight, had his first anxiety attach which was extreme and frightening. I immediately had him inhale Valor and his feelings of fright were replaced with comfort."


*"Essential oils are great for dissolving household petrochemicals. I just wipe my skin with a cloth with a few drops of peppermint and away goes the paint and even enamel! I've even used peppermint and Ortho Ease on tough chemicals like tar and other roofing toxins, and they worked!"
*"I have used Ortho-Sport massage oil as well as Aroma Siez and Wintergreen essential oils with a warm rock massage to gain maximum relief of muscle tension in my neck that caused head discomfort."
