Very painful, swollen and inflamed finger joints seem to have eased after a few applications. It may just be coincidence, but my thumb joint was so painful for several months that I'd taken to wearing a splint. No splint now, much less painful and I am going to tell my GP I no longer require a steroid injection in the joint.
The smell is quite strong, but not unpleasant. I have the trial sizes with lavender, lemongrass and orange/neroli, but they all smell the same to me - a bit like basil.
Take note of manufacturer's warning re staining. Rub small amounts at a time well in. 1 drop went on a t shirt and wouldn't come out no matter what, but it is turmeric after all!
Having tried the oils initially using the starter pack I bought a large bottle of the lemongrass. So far so good.
I have bought 3 off this oil's now and I find that they do help with the pain and stiffness in my knees
I like the pure extracts oils, I use on my dodgy knee at night and in the morning, and I find it helps a lot and the smell is amazing too
