Headache Relief Roll-On

Headache Relief Roll-On

My mom, being a very hard worker, has a very stressful job, which causes her to suffer from incredibly painful migraine headaches as well as shoulder muscle tension. Being 2010 now, society tells us to take pain killers and pharmaceutical drugs to solve the pain; however, we all know that taking pain killers regularly isn’t healthy as they are rough on our liver and kidneys.

Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are generally difficult for the liver to break down and then dispose through the digestive system. An overdose of acetaminophen will cause liver damage, because the liver primly metabolizes acetaminophen by binding glutathione (very small molecule that’s produced by the body and found in every cell) to potentially intermediate metabolite and saturated acetaminophen can interrupt liver’s normal function. Also, acute kidney failure and analgesic nephropathy (damage induced by excessive use of combinations of different medications) are two typical types of kidney damage caused by exceeding recommended dosages of painkillers.

Painful headaches can be caused by environmental factors leading to irritation to the occipital nervous system, a chronic pain in the neck, skull and behind the eyes. Headache pain arises when serotonin levels drop to an imbalanced level causing the nervous system to release chemicals that travel to the brain.

My mom no longer depends on painkillers because I discovered a new and improved way of relieving such pain. She now uses Headache Relief Roll-On from Escents were I have worked for almost 4 Years now. She feels instant relief as well as refreshed after applying it on her temples, the back of her neck and her shoulder line.

Headache Relief Roll-on contains Lavender and Peppermint

  • Lavender: calming, relaxing, balancing and soothing the frustration and tension.
  • Peppermint: Its uplifting scent brings up energy, and eases the muscle aches and pain. Its coolness effect can stimulate blood flow and boost the circulation.

Natural Arthritis Relief

Natural Arthritis Relief

Escents’ Arthritis Treatment has been a CUSTOMER FAVORITE for years. This potent, cooling gel will aid in the elimination of the most stubborn muscle or arthritic related pain. We have had customers with severe rheumatoid arthritis tell us that this natural treatment gel with cypress and eucalyptus essential oils is the only one on the market that touches their aches and pains.

Sue processes all the phone orders that are placed with Escents Aromatherapy Head Office.  She needed to share with the world the amazing response that we have with our Arthritis Treatment Gel.  Our team ships this product weekly to customers ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!  The feedback continues to amaze me!  There was a sweet gentleman in his 80’s that called last week to stock up for his wife.  He said that when there’s a barometric pressure change she feels it in her joints and can hardly move.  After asking more about his wife’s symptoms, he says they’ve tried every possible ointment or gel to relive her pain and Escents Aromatherapy is the only company that has a natural arthritis relief treatment that actually works!Here are some customer testimonials:

Long Term Satisfaction

I’ve been using this cream for a decade — a veteran of Rheumatoid Arthritis, no other treatment, prescription or otherwise, has been even close in effectiveness for muscle aches and pains caused by joint probs, etc. I’ve recom’d this cream to many friends over the yrs, who have been amazed as it soothes their back pains, pulled muscles, cancer aches, etc. A discovery ‘by accident’, I am very grateful for this product — it’s saved me from many sleepless nights.

Bad Arthritis Problem

I was able to convince my mother in law to use or Arthritis treatment on her hands. She has a severe arthritis condition, and she has been taking strong pain killers and anti inflammatory products for years, so she couldn’t believe the results just using a little amount of product every night. Now she does need taking any chemicals for the last 2 years. Share with a friend or just try it for any muscle related problem. Thanks for reading!

Remedy for Chronic Eczema

Natural Remedy for Chronic Eczema

Natural Remedy for Chronic Eczema

Thanks to Michelle from Escents Commercial Drive for submitting this inspiring story. A close friend suffers from chronic eczema.  I have tried many a remedy for him. But, for years now, to no avail. Our Eczema Treatment cream offered some relief but not enough for his severe case. Our Eczema Treatment Cream is great for those with spots of eczema, however, those with chronic eczema often fair better with our Skin Repair Butter.  Again, this worked better for him but, did not entirely clear it up.

Like most people that suffer from eczema, doctors say to avoid scented topical treatments. However, it is important to note that they are most likely referring to perfumes and synthetic fragrances and not to 100% therapeutic grade essential oils. That being said, my friend began to refuse any offerings of any treatment that had any scent whatsoever. That was too bad, because I was convinced that the right recipe using essential oils could and would make a difference. After a new and terrible rash flared up on his face, I offered up a sample of an “unscented” product for him to try, our Rosa Mosqueta Oil.   “It is totally unscented?”, he asked with suspicion.  I offered it to him to smell and he agreed to try it. With only the very best of intentions I withheld one little piece of information from him…. there is a small amount of rosewood essential oil in the ingredient listing.  This oil is recommended for those with weeping eczema (so dry the skin can crack open) while he does not often experience this, he does at times and it led me to consider oils I had not before such as Rosewood and Juniper Berry.  Within 1 day the rash had vastly diminished and within 2 his skin was completely cleared without any redness whatsoever! He was so surprised and thrilled that he has now agreed to try full-out scented blends. The moral of the story is that scent and essential oils are not one in the same. The healing power of essential oils is a biological fact and they should never be dismissed as simply a perfume.

Hope this helps someone else out there, and oh yeah…

Here is a great tip from one of the staff members at our Coquitlam store.

I struggled with acne and acne scars all my life and this really helped clear my face.

1. Wash with Lavender Handmade Soap three times a day, (this eliminates the bacteria, but keeps the skin soft).

2. Use Unscented Hydrating Cream for sensitive skin, add 10 drops Lavender, 10 Drops Tea Tree and 15 drops Lemon.

IT REALLY WORKS amazingly and it is cheaper than many Acne treatments out there.

More staff favourites from the front lines. Who better to trust than the people who work with our products everyday and know all of them intimately.

  • Shirley from our Head Office says ” The Renewal Lip Balm stick is the best lip balm I have ever used. It beats Burt’s Bees and all other natural lip balms. It has natural shea butter and beeswax to soften and moisturize lips like no other. I would recommend this lip balm to anyone that has extremely dry lips or lives in constant cold climates. Try it once and you will never go back to any other lip balms out there.”

Mariana (Manager, West Broadway location) says, “My favorite product is the unscented salt scrub.  I love the fact that the salt is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. The exfoliation is deep and the price is fantastic.”

My favourite Escents product is the Lavender Provence Gentle Scrub. I love how it smells, and the lavender helps tone down redness in my pale skin.
