Vetiver Testimonials

Knee Injury Recovery
"I had torn my Bursa Sac in the knee and was not able to walk on it. I went to the Chiropractor who had informed me of what I did and told me to Ice it for the next month and to stay off of it for the next month. I went to a Health Kinesiologist and found out that I needed Vetiver, which I used and in 3 days no more pain and I was able to walk like nothing had ever happened!"
