"I continue to be amazed at how quickly the oil blend Thieves relieves sore throats. And it doesn't just cover up the pain, you can actually feel your throat slowly getting better and better. For a simple sore throat I put a drop of Thieves on my tongue about every 30 minutes until it's gone. For more serious sore throats, I put 5 drops in a glass of water and gargle it at least 3 times ... while allowing some to go all the way down my throat." --Jim Batteiger

"I live in a part of Oregon with very low exposure to sunlight for most of the winter which contributes to symptoms of like those of depression. True Source, Omega Blue, and Super B help a lot, and by themselves are not quite enough for me to feel energetic and upbeat. However, when I apply 2 or 3 drops of Lady Sclareol at the base of the throat, over the thyroid area (base of throat) my mood lifts within minutes and maintains well throughout the day. And what a wonderful fragrance to wear! " -- Jan Meredith

"I have suffered from severe bouts of depression all my adult life. Recently I got so desperate I went to my Doctor and decided to try anti depressants. They made me feel completely ill, disorientated and even more depressed. It was at this point I was introduced to the oils. I can honestly say that since using the oils my depressive symptoms have diminished by 80%. No joke ! I am soooooo relieved. I use a combination of Abundance, Frankincense and Valor neat on the skin around the heart and stomach area, at least 3 or 4 times a day. I am amazed at how beautiful and powerful these oils are!" -- Sandra DePourtales, Great Britain

"I have had problems with depression and anxiety for much of my life. I discovered that using 1 part Lavender to 2 parts Frankincense is very helpful for momemts of particular discomfort. I put the mixture on the bottoms of my feet, on my chest, wrists, ears, back of neck, and the palms of my hands. Then, I cup my hands over my nose and mouth and breathe deeply for several minutes. The unpleasant mood changes to a balanced feeling. My confidence increases and I feel like talking to others (a feeling that disappears when depressed). This relief lasts for a couple of hours." -- Elissa Max, Psychologist

"I am joyful to share the following experience: I had felt a sore throat on the verge of manifesting for over a day. Before going to bed, I applied a few drops of RC to my throat. The soothing, lovely sensation I felt as this oil blend was soaking in, not to mention the aroma ALONE, was well worth it! When I awoke the next morning, it was as if there had not ever been the slightest potential for developing a sore throat. RC had zapped it!" --Doreen Domb
