Testimonies:
1. Although the book says to dilute, I use Myrtle undiluted on a cotton swab to swab my 3 year old's nostrils at the first sign of stuffiness. I sit in front of her and do it to myself first so she knows it's OK. Then I ask her if she wants to do it. She'll grab the swab and do it herself. She knows it helps! It will wipe out an infection overnight and restore normal breathing almost instantly when used at the first signs of sinus issues. - Linda

2. Myrtle is EXCELLENT! We have completely taken our daughter off all her maintenance meds [steroids] since being on Myrtle.  She has been doing great. The summer seems to be her worst, so we will see, but I have been very impressed with it thus far and pray that it continues to do the trick. -A.K.

3. Thank you so much for all you have done to help us get our child with Reactive Airway Disease (asthma) off all of her medications. In only two months after using Myrtle, we are medication free! Your suggestions of what oils to use and how have helped us to remove her completely off meds and that hasn't happened since she was 6 months old (she is now almost 6). What a blessing! I thank God for all that you do and the knowledge He has given you with oils. Thanks so much for sharing that knowledge with all of us! - A.K.

4. My 3-month-old son woke up congested. He was hardly able to nurse because he couldn't breathe. Our normally happy guy was very fussy. I ordered Myrtle so I could swab his nostrils. After swabbing, I nursed him, and after 3 days of not nursing well and being fussy, he is content. I am so amazed by God's incredible design, and as I learn more, my heart overflows with praise to Him! - R.S.
