My husband was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, and not much helps his joint pain. Since we like to try all natural, holistic methods (in conjunction with medicine), I've found a few "recipes" that combine different oils to help arthritis pain. However, we just can't afford them all right now. Winning this package would be a huge help!
