This oil is powerful enough to sooth pain in adults but gentle enough to use on children. Earlier this year my son who is eight years old developed knee pain so severe that he underwent tests to determine if he had bone cancer. I made him a pain cream using 1 cup of coconut oil, 10 drops PanAway, 10 drops Valor and 10 drops Peppermint. That cream was the only thing that helped him walk without a limp. My mother who had been suffering through shoulder and hip pain applied it on herself and was able to walk around the Fort Worth Zoo all day without any pain!
