A few years ago there was a woman in Texas who was suffering from poison ivy. She used peppermint oil on one leg and tried Purification on the other leg. Seconds after applying the peppermint oil she felt relief and on the leg with Purification it “helped a lot.” The next morning the leg with peppermint was dried and healing with no itching. The other leg was still “raised” with a rash but felt much better. The woman was able to cancel her doctor appointment and she did not have to receive cortisone cream.
