    OUR CLIENTS SAY

    Carpal Tunnel
    Christi is trying to delay carpal tunnel surgery, and has used all of our suggested blends with mixed levels of success. The other night she did something we normally don’t recommend. She put some of our Arnica infused oil on her wrist, and layered a couple of drops of Lavandin Super on top. (Lavandin super is a component of our Miracle Oil blend.) She said she got more relief from that simple combination than from any other blend she had tried. Definitely worth passing along and saving.

    Cleopatra’s Secret
    GerryAnn Overly recently wrote (and gave permission to quote!):

    I really like your Cleopatra’s Secret Radiance. I had a lady stop me in the drug store to ask what I used for a skin cream because my skin looked so good. Thank you, Marge!!!

    Bruising
    We have had several clients comment on the effectiveness of a spritz of Helichrysum Hydrosol for bruises and other injuries. We knew it was a powerful anti-inflammatory for skincare, but had not realized that it was as effective a pain reliever and treatment for bruises.

    Migraines
    One of our clients, Teri Roberts, chair of the American Headache and Migraine Association, published an excellent article about Aromatherapy for Migraines and Headaches.
