Testimonial ID: 1578-OR
A neutered male standard poodle had a benign mass on his back for about a year. It was diagnosed as a trichoepithelioma. It was gradually getting bigger and the owner wanted to avoid surgery at this time. The oils of Citrus Fresh, Frankincense, Helichrysum, Balsam Fir, Lemon were used to reduce the size of the mass. Within two days the mass had changed and reduced to 1/2 its size. The oils were continued at a reduced frequency to help reduce it further.
