Cleansing

1. I was visiting family and went into the store that sold Hopewell Essential Oils. I purchased Cleansing in hopes that it would help me overcome my chronic candida and yeast infections. Nothing I’d tried through the medical fields had worked – at least not for long, and nothing had wiped out the candida. I decided to take Cleansing internally by putting a few drops in a capsule several times a day. Within days many of my candida symptoms disappeared! This is a great blend and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have found it. — C.F.

2. I had a rash all over my neck that looked like hives for over 6 months. It was red and puffy and itched like crazy. My Aunt Linda gave me some "Cleansing," and within a week it was almost totally cleared up! I put Cleansing in a roll-on applicator and rolled it on my rash three times a day for a week. I considered taking it internally, but the rash disappeared so rapidly that I didn't see the need to do it. — Courtney

3. Our son had a very bad, infected sore on his foot. The foot was swollen, and the sore looked like it might become a boil. It was very painful. We soaked it 3 times daily using draw salves, ointments and triple antibiotics, but nothing seemed to get it over the edge. We felt like we'd halted the infection from getting worse, but days were going by with very slow progress forward. We were about ready for the Dr. but continued to pray and ask God for wisdom, and I felt led to completely quit all former treatments and started putting Cleansing and Peppermint essential oil on every hour or so. I covered it with gauze and taped it around the edges so the sore could breathe. I couldn't believe the results. There was rapid improvement, and in a short time I only had to dress it once a day. The sore still had a scab, but I no longer kept it covered; I just applied the oils once in a while to disinfect it. I so wish I'd taken pictures; it was very ugly. Anyway, I'm sold, and the oils will be the first thing I try in the future, not a last resort! - Kristy B.

4. Cleansing and Germ Buster are fantastic!! Many of the people I see with high infection counts respond well with either Cleansing or Germ Buster. On a consistent basis, these 2 will take care of almost everything. Generally, they apply a drop 2-4x daily on the back of the neck, bottom of the feet, a hand's width around the belly button and any other area where infection is suspected. Kidneys/liver often show up as places in need of Cleansing, too. - C.P.

5. We've had great success in treating canker sores with the Cleansing Blend. In fact, it's great for all types of mouth and tooth issues. Wouldn't be without it! - Traci A.

6. I have a rash that I think is related to yeast and Cleansing oil has been great!! - Gina

7. We have had a bout of ringworm. The Plague Defense and Lavender were barely holding it at bay. I ordered the Cleansing, and wow! Using it twice a day, it stopped the itching within 36 hours and halted the progression of the sores. Amazing! - Julia

8. Cleansing has been so helpful to our family! Diluted at 20% with coconut oil, we put a drop on any cut or scrape and they always heal much faster than normal. We used to use antibiotic ointments, but the goop kept cuts too wet to heal. Now I put diluted cleansing on a bandage and cuts are healed overnight, including one fairly deep one in my fingertip. And best of all, the kids are always surprised because it seems to take pain away too and feel good when I put it on! Another blessing from Him! - Katy

9. I just had to write and let you know how amazing your Cleansing blend has been. My daughter left to do an 8 month mission trip overseas. I threw the Cleansing blend into her bag at the last minute just in case she needed it for a fungal infection she had gotten that had just gone away. She had finished off all her medicine, so I thought this would be good protection if it started to come back. Well the fungal infection didn't come back, but she got an infection under her armpit that formed a huge lump. She had this once before, so she knew she would need antibiotics to get rid of it. I told her to put the Cleansing on it 2-3 times a day and try that first. The Cleansing oil cleared up the infection in her armpit within a few days! Later she was at the beach and was burned so bad she had blisters. She put the Cleansing oil on in the morning, and by evening the blisters were gone. Other girls who had blisters that didn't use the oil had them for several days! She also told me that she has been using it on her acne, and it has been getting rid of her acne. You have made a believer out of my daughter for the use of essential oils. She is hooked! - Stacey

10.  Earlier this year, my son was in the middle of a very bad eczema flare up. He was playing basketball at the time and we noticed the palm of his hand starting getting bubbles of infection which spread very quickly. Since we had a dermatologist appointment already scheduled, his MD prescribed an antibiotic to help clear the staph infection. After 1 dose of the antibiotic he turned bright red all over, and we discovered he is allergic to sulpha medications. I chose not to try another antibiotic, instead I began applying Cleansing oil, diluted, to his palm twice a day and wrapped his hand while he was at school or playing basketball. The infection cleared within days. Now, at the first sign of bubbles or spots on his hand I immediately begin Cleansing, and we have not had a recurrence of the staph infection. - Renae

11. I burned my hand on the handle of a pan after taking it out of the oven. It immediately started to blister and hurt pretty bad. After applying ice, I used a blend of Lavender and Cleansing and applied it multiple times throughout the evening and next day. Not only did it take the pain away, but it never blistered completely, and it healed from the inside. In less than 48 hours, you would never be able to tell that there was a burn there! - Amy

12. I cooked our Thanksgiving turkey in the oven bag this year, and somehow it spilled juice on the oven bottom. I didn't look to see how much; my husband just told me about it. We knew we needed to clean the oven, so last weekend we put the oven on auto clean and went to bed. It bothers my sinuses to be near the smell! I have cleaned the oven like this for years. I was in bed reading, and my husband was almost in bed when the fire alarm started shouting "Fire! Fire!" My husband ran into kitchen to stop what we thought was the smoke setting off the alarm but lo and behold it WAS a real fire in the bottom of oven!! The alarm company called and wanted to send out fire department, but it was midnight and Jim thought it would be okay, because as soon as he turned the oven off, the flames quit. But we sure had a smoke-filled house, and it was cold outside! We didn't want to leave windows open all night, so we only left them open 15-20 minutes and went to bed. The house smelled like burned plastic! Horrible!! So after our church meeting the next day we opened windows and doors to try to eliminate the horrible smell, but it just wasn't working. My husband asked me if I had an essential oil we could use, and I thought of your Cleansing blend. I had some thin wooden reeds in a jar, and I poured some Cleansing on those, and my husband put them up above the cabinets in front of heater vent. Amazingly enough, that awful smell went away so quickly! However, the back part of house still had a faint smell, so we did it again! By Monday there was NO SMELL at all!! I was so thankful, as that burnt plastic smell was burning my sinuses!! I really hadn't thought of using essential oils and was so glad hubs thought of it! And didn't know which oil to choose, but thought the name Cleansing sounded right for what the air needed!! It was perfect!! So thankful!! We've found another use for EO's!! Just thought you'd enjoy hearing our silly story with a good ending!! - Maggie

13. I was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease and also struggled with cracked and peeling skin on the back of my ear. After reading your note about yeast possibly being at the root of my ear issues, I decided to get some Cleansing and applied it to the troublesome skin. At first my skin flared up, and I felt convinced of the yeast connection. I went on a restricted Candida diet and kept using Cleansing on my skin and the bottoms of my feet so it would get into my blood stream and help me heal. Gradually over the next few months, the ear and skin issues cleared up.

14. I gave my mother-in-law some Lavender and Cleansing for a sore she had on her leg a few months ago. It worked well in healing her skin at the time. Yesterday she boiled some caramel sauce in the microwave, and when she took it out of the microwave, it spilled all over her hand.  (Yes, I know, for the record, should anybody have a microwave ... but that's another topic.) It was extremely hot and it hurt badly, but she wanted to clean up the mess before treating it. She was convinced that it would blister and bleed since it was very painful. She remembered the Lavender and Cleansing and put it on her hand several times. Within two applications, she said it wasn't painful. The pain did wake her in the night though, so she put more on when it woke her. Today, she said she used it often. When she spoke to us this evening, she told us it wasn't even red. No blisters, no pain - we are all thrilled! - Robin

15. I applied Cleansing on the abdomen to help rid me of a cough I'd had for months. - Sunny
