'I am a 78 year old man with knee pain, after years of steroids, muscle creams, Tylenol, Motrin you name it nothing helped. It was starting to effect my everyday life and I did not want surgery. Then I discovered Painted Earths Frankincense. I rubbed a few drops on my knees and I AM PAIN FREE for a minimum of 24 hours. I thought all Frankincense must be the same, so I tried a different brand, it was not as strong and took twice as much to get the same relief. I will never buy any other brand or be without Frankincense!
I have turned some of my friends on to it and they all get the same amazing results. I wish I had found this 15 years ago.'
