Client Comments:
8-30-06 Several years ago, I tore the meniscus cartilage in my left knee. Although it has seemingly healed, I frequently experience pain. When Cynthe became aware of this, she offered to blend some essential oils specifically known to ease pain and help to heal injured areas.

The combination has a pleasant - non medicinal - fragrance. Following her instructions, I massaged several drops around the entire knee area, twice daily. The results have been most rewarding as the pain has subsided day after day. ~ Joanne S.
