I buy Barbara Franks Rose cream all the time. Besides keeping your face clear and dewy fresh the rose cream has been amazing for me during my current detox from pneumococcal pneumonia. My left leg( where I guess the majority of the bacteria resided) started throbbing and being so sore after about the 3 RD dose of med to kill it off I thought I was going to lose my mind. I completely could not function and could hardly get anything done during the day because of pain. I tried all the usuals camomile tea, magnesium oil spray, even lemon balm. Those helped just slightly. But it wasn't till I saw my rose cream jar near my bed and remembered it working for pain that I reached over and gave it a try. I used just a light coating all over my left leg and elevated it. At first I swear the pain was a little worse( probably killing the bacteria) but then omg! It was the first time in 2 weeks that I was out of that excruciating pain.Omg! I couldn't believe it because I had been so on edge with that bad like a bad toothache pain. I lay there for 30 min just to experience what it was to be out of pain all together. I have been using it everyday since and I am back to being able to function during the day. The pain is still there but getting lower and lower each day. Barbara Frank has saved me many, many times when I've had sudden unexpected shooting pain(sciatica, shoulder pain, lower back pain, ankle pain.) She really is remarkable and her products are very unique and really work. You must listen to her about how to use them because like me I just want to gob the stuff on.( more is better right?)- No more is not better when using her products most of the time so pay attention to how to use them to get the best results. Also anyone with a bakers cyst behind your knee, you DEFINITELY want a jar of Barbara's rose cream to massage it. If you're too weak to massage your knee, no worries, just put in on and over time it will reduce and disappear the cyst. I don't know why I can't remember to reach for Barbara's cream first but after this last round of pain I'm going to get another jar of rose cream for pain so I can have a jar on every floor. read more
