First Aid

1. I want to tell you have much your First Aid blend helped me the other day. I had gone outside to work on something and squatted down on the lawn for a few minutes. I guess a yellow jacket/hornet crawled up my leg and stung me on the fatty part of my thigh (ouch!). I came in and put some of your First Aid blend on, and within seconds literally the welt went down and I felt fine. I don't know if it's supposed to be for bee or wasp stings, but it certainly worked for me! - C. I.

2. I used First Aid on my sunburn and had absolutely no pain at all. Two days later, I am tan! - Kristen

3. I accidentally sliced my finger with a hand knife, and it started to bleed profusely. I immediately put a drop of First Aid blend on it and then a bandaid tightly over spot. My family said a little prayer over it and me as well. It looked deep enough for stitches but probably more like skin glue. After about 15 minutes of throbbing, I thought for sure I would have to go to ER. I waited an hour, and then I took off bandaid. I was AMAZED. The slice had closed up and was not bleeding. I put on alcohol then rinsed and put on Plague Defense then another drop of First Aid and put the bandaid back on. So far I can squeeze it lightly without it bleeding. Simply amazed! - Bobbie W.
[Linda's comment: Isopropyl alcohol is not a harmless substance. It is readily absorbed through the skin and may have harmful systemic effects. By using First Aid, the *need* for alcohol to disinfect the wound disappeared. Plague Defense is a great blend, but it can be *hot* and a skin irritation for some. The First Aid blend alone was a great choice!]

4. My daughter's mare accidentally bit her finger last week while she was feeding her some treats. We immediately put First Aid and Lavender on it, and the next day, GONE! I am serious, I thought it might turn really ugly. But it didn't. - Rebecca G.

5. When we have any wound where we used to use neosporin, I grab First Aid now instead. - Annie

6. My husband hurt his upper arm/shoulder muscles a month or so ago, and this past week the pain became unbearable for him. I tried Pain-X, which didn't help at all, and then I tried Peppermint over the Pain-X, Peppermint by itself and nothing seemed to help him. Today, while I was in the cabinet putting away the Peppermint oil, I found a bottle of "First Aid" oil and decided to give that a try. The results were amazing. He had no pain for the first time in over a week, and it lasted all afternoon. He applied it again tonight, and it is working AWESOME! To say that I am thrilled, is an understatement!!! - Julie

7. I used First Aid on a wasp/bee sting on my 7 year old last week. I applied the oil and covered it with a bandage, and the next morning I couldn't see where it was. It still hurt her, but the mark was gone. She had to tell me where to apply the oil! I reapplied with no bandage, and it never bothered her again. - Stacy

8. I smashed my hand really, really hard on the bathtub while cleaning it. I injured my knuckle on my middle finger, and it was very painful. I immediately applied First Aid blend (with emu oil) on the knuckle. After a couple hours, I applied Warrior (diluted with emu oil) again to the knuckle. The pain was getting worse by the evening and I applied ice. Before going to bed, I again applied First Aid. My hand throbbed all night long, and when I got up in the morning, I applied First Aid again. I was surprised that my hand had not swelled overnight. An hour or two after applying the First Aid, I noticed I could use the hand without a lot of pain. As the day progressed, it felt better and better. By the next day, the pain was completely gone. I am amazed at the power of these oils! - Julie

9. I have suffered with plantar faciitis SO bad, I could barely drive. Just the flexing of my foot to push the gas was to painful! I tried all of the oils I had, but nothing was helping. I tried OTC creams AND a compounded cream, but they were not helping. One night it just popped into my head to combine First Aid with Blue Emu cream. Within 36 hours, the pain was barely noticeable (using twice a day). After 48 hours, I forgot which foot it was that had the PF, until I remembered the driving issue. I then ran out of the First Aid oil and the pain started coming back within about three days. I'd only been using it 4-5 days, but I knew I had better get some ordered ASAP. I'm so glad it came today!! The PF pain is still less then it was, but I didn't want it getting back to how bad it was. I was so limited. Cooking dinner was all the standing I could do for a day. I've tried multiple other PF remedies, but this one WORKS!! - Bekah

10. My neosporin replacement: First Aid! - Jayne

11. First Aid oil, it is AMAZING on stings and bites. We use it all the time. - Stacy

12. I had a stiff neck today and rubbed the diluted First Aid on it, and after an hour, it felt much relieved. - Bernice

11. I am so pleased to use First Aid Blend for SO many issues. I use it on cuts/wounds for very quick healing, on insect bites, to heal pre-cancerous burn offs, a painful in-grown toe nail, some sort of chronic, small carbuncle in my nostril for years (which is now completely gone), bee sting pain and swelling. It's a gift from God and Hopewell! - Kalinda

13. I was surprised to read that the First Aid oil also helps with skin issues. I actually had used it for a week on my cheeks after a tooth surgery thinking it might get through there and support the healing. Usually every time I didn't eat well my face would show a strong reaction the next day. But I noticed a change after applying the oil for one week that I didn't expect. It doesn't matter what I eat, my face cleared out. I am amazed!! I waited a few days with the testimony to make sure it stayed this way..which it did! - Bernice

14. I dilute First Aid with Aloe Vera at 2% and use it where in the past I would have used neosporin. It works great! - Jennifer

15. My brother was fighting a cold when under a lot of stress at work. He asked me to run my diffuser in his room that night. He sleeps like a tornado! He turns so much that the blankets, sheets and mattress cover are all usually off in the morning, twisted into a rope! All that I had on hand was Hopewell’s First Aid blend. My brother remarked the next day: “I don’t know what was in that diffuser last night, but it knocked me out! I slept like a rock.” - Emily

16. Our family uses First Aid instead of neosporin as well. Great blend! - G.G.

17. Hopewell’s First Aid is helping my horrible lupus and rhumatoid arthritis pain. - Josanne
