Testimonials and Practical Uses
|
South Texas is 'ground zero' for fire ants. After an mild attack several years ago, my emergency room doctor said the next one could be much worse and gave me a 'script' for an 'eppy' pin just in case. Finally checking my reference books, I decided to start carrying Purification as well as Lavendar with me at all times. Now just a drop or two of each when occassionally 'hit' and barely a red spot appears. Wonder what I did with that 'eppy' pin?
Chuck Graff
I used Purification and Panaway for a wasp sting my husband received and within minutes the swelling stopped along with the pain. A few hours later the pain came back and I just put a few more drops on and instant relief.
