This page was last upated on 20th March, 2007 ~ in this crazy new world of mega-hype and spin, a company like ours (which invests in product research and community development, not slick advertising campaigns) really  depends on integrity - which means letting people know about how our products worked for you!

Rose Petals Salve

"When you looked at my poor son's hands last week, I am sure you wondered
what he had been up to.  Me too!  We think that the bad rash/spots and
cracks on the backs of his hands is a mixture of the harsh dry weather we
have had, leaving strong soap on his hands after washing, and probably
some boy-type play in the woods ... play that involved fallen branches,
leaves, etc.

Whatever was going on, his poor hands were a wreck.  He was holding them
out all the time with a pained expression on his face, and wouldn't let me
near him with anything that might have soothed them. 

You suggested the Rose Petal Salve, and he was willing to try it (Beth,
after all, was the one offering - not Mom).

What I wanted to share with you was our amazement with how quickly he has
healed.  You gave me the salve on Friday evening.  He got one 'spreading'
that night, two the next day, and on on Sunday morning.  As you saw when
we came by on Sunday - about 36 hours after we got the salve - he had
hands that no longer made us wince.  The cracks were healing, the rash was
almost gone, the tiny dots of owie were no longer visible...

And to see Nicholas' face when we put on the salve - what a joy.  He had
no fear that it would hurt.  He LOVED the smell, and he relaxed as I
gently applied it

THANK YOU.  We still need the salve as we still have dry weather and
questionable soap-removal techniques from our young man  - and we can
apply without complaint with the knowledge that come morning all will be
improved.  I really am astonished that in under 36 hours we went from
bleeding cracks to healed and healthy hands."

Teri Young, Cowichan Bay, BC

"Dear Dragonfly Dreaming,

I am compelled to email you about your  ROSE PETALS HEALING SALVE.

Since last winter I have been troubled by side effects of medication evidenced in itchy, bumpy, raw skin = ugly , uncomfortable, and worrisome because of the length of time spent suffering with raw bumps on the thin skin of my upper chest ...  tried all kinds of over the counter ointments to no avail, my doctor wanted me to go to a dermatologist to buy an expensive , probably chemical laden, drying ointment which I chose not to do.

Then I met you at the recent Organics Festival at the Pacific Horticultural Centre and really liked all your products; the fact that not only were they locally made but that you also grew and distilled some of the ingredients  yourself which is all too rare and I believe ensures potency.

I decided that I had nothing to lose, and possibly much to gain by giving your ROSE PETAL HEALING SALVE a try -
and I am just thrilled that I did because in 48 hours, what I had suffered for months with - cleared up!
It is not drying, it smells wonderful and  it is enjoyable to use.

I continue to use it on my sunburn, on any dry skin, as a facial skin replenisher etc. etc.
I have sent it to a friend in Alberta for scars resulting from a recent hip replacement. I've also sent it to an extremely fair skinned, psoriasis sufferer in small town Ontario and recommend it highly."

V. Spohn, Victioria

"The rosepetal salve has saved my face.

Just over a horrendous cold - K is at the walk in clinic as I type as I
passed it on to him in the 'carnation of a sinus infection. I blew my nose
raw despite the triple ply softer than soft tissues which I pampered myself
with.

The only thing which helped was the Rose Petals"

Phytomousse

Hi Beth :-)
 
Your timing is pretty good. I got the order this morning.
 
I used the Rose Petals soap this evening and buffed with the Phytomousse. I feel that I should be going out -- not preparing for bed! I tell you Beth, washing my face with that soap and smoothing on the phyto is a WoW moment in personal cleanliness. Really nice product.
 
The kids got daddy's special toe and fingernail clipping tonight, accompanied with a Fortissimo! Serious Salve rub on all ten digits :-))
 
Please use my comments. Your creations are wonderful. Everyone should, at some time in their life, experience the delight in papering their skin with your honest mixtures...
 
All the best Beth,
 
Spring is nearly here :-)))

Phytocrème
(alas, Dragonfly has decided to stop making Phytocreme for the time being... 
why? that's a long story... but for the moment, we'll leave these comments here...)

"Nothing works as well as your Phytocrème - I use it all over for
chaffing, especially in the hot weather - and my sisters are crazy
for it too!"
M. Rowbothem, BC, Canada

"Please send another jar of Rose Petals Phytocrème - I've been using
it every night, and I was amazed to see how well my tan lasted after
our Cuban holiday - not to mention how much my hands have improved -
bravo!"
Bonnie Allen, Ontario, Canada.

"My sister needs another jar of Gardenia Goddess Phytocrème - this is
her fourth! She says it has helped so much with chaffing - even
compared to $45 jars of cream her dermatologist prescribed - thank
you!"
A. Barry, BC, Canada

"My experiment showed - to me at least! - that you have a high
enough percentage of Shea Butter in the Phytocreme to make it
effective as a sun screen... and here's another success - while my
aunt and uncle were travelling, he had a bout of psoriasis on his
shins. Auntie gave him some Phytocrème, and it actally cleared it up
- so not only is it the only thing to knock out my contact
dermatitis, it 'does' for guys too!"
S. Dale, BC, Canada

Seven Sisters
PMS/Cranky

"You were right - my breasts were killing me with PMS, and I rubbed
some of the oil onto my hands and then all over my chest - sure
enough, the tenderness went down considerably - not to mention
feeling a lot less 'cranky'! Which everybody appreciated!"
S. Grant, BC Canada

Power Surge

"During the perimenopausal and menopausal years we really need to
take good care of ourselves. Dragonfly's Power Surge not only pampers
us, it gives us the feeling of well being and keeps us well away from
HRT - a dirty word in my books!

"Hot flashes are my biggest problem - depending on the severity of
the flash, Power Surge will stop it in dead its tracks. For me, the
key is to use it regularly - I put it on my wrists and throat every
morning after I shower, and again before I go to bed - and if I feel
a flash coming I use it then too - one bottle has lasted me an entire
year!"
M. Braveraven, Duncan BC

Aphrodite

"My 9-year old son suffers from occasional mild anxiety attacks. He
says, "I feel like there's something heavy in my stomach." When he
feels it coming on, he rolls Aprodite on his temples, chest and the
palms of his hands. By going through the process of recognizing the
feeling and applying the essential oil, he is learning to take
control of the feeling and overcome it. He has even started using it
at school to help him focus on his work."
S. Dale, BC, Canada

Beam Me Up!Lifting

"My 12 year old son has a very seve case of ADHD; we have been
astounded by the effect of using your 'Beam me Up!' oil on him - he
calls it his 'Happy Oil'; insists on applying it twice a day and says
it makes him feel more calm and positive; we've noticed that he
doesn't tend to be as self-centred and defeatist as he could be
before we started using it - thank you so much!"
Rebecca Rheault, BC, Canada.

Saving Face

"Boomers such as myself are waking up to the need for truly natural
body care products after dousing themselves with synthetics for years
- Dragonfly Dreaming products fit the bill absolutely - I love how
they make me feel!"
M.Levitt, BC, Canada

"Your Briar Rose Face Soap is absolutely phenomenal! I love how it
makes my skin feel clean but not stretched and dry - and it lasts
forever!"
L. McGuinness, Vancouver, Canada

"I need more 'Allo Bright Eyes! I can't do without it! When I stop
using it, my face breaks out!"
R. Rheault, BC, Canada

Fancy Feet & Fingers
Fortissimo! Serious Salve

"September 18th, 2002

I have had a cracked lip since 1996. I have been to three doctors,
trying to clear up my lip. I went to skin specialist here in Duncan
because I thought maybe I had cancer. Nothing worked. Then I met you
and you told me your product would help me. Well - guess what? After
two days my lip is completely healed and I can't thank you enough for
selling me Fortissimo! - it really is serious salve.
God Bless You"
Joanne Jackson, Duncan, BC, Canada

"Fortissimo! is the only thing that keeps the eczema at bay - given
that my hands are in water and chemical solutions all day, it's a
serious problem for me."
Michael Patterson
Hairdresser/Salon Owner, BC, Canada

Auntie Fungal

"I was referred to you by a friend. I have a fungus on my index
finger that just won't go away. She let me use her Auntie Fungal
crème and my success with it is better than all of the prescriptions
my doctors were trying me on. I'd like to order the Auntie Fungal
crème along with the bug repellent."
Debbie Fisher, Arizona, USA

"Your Auntie Fungal Crème and Oil have worked wonders on the worst
cases I have ever seen - and brought tremendous relief to my
patients."
Susan Tremble, RN, Foot Specialist, BC, Canada

"I was on vacation in B.C. in the summer of 2001. While there we
stayed in Shawnigan Lake. Your display was at an arts and craft show
at the community center. I bought two Auntie Fungal product that I
used and was happy with. Recently my neighbor was telling me about
her ongoing bout with a fungal infection on her hands, so I gave her
my remaining salve. She was impressed and asked how to get more."
My best to you,
Sue Mennella, Arizona, USA

Lemon Zing Thing Lotion

"Did you know that LZT keeps mosquitoes away? While we were staying
at the villa in Tuscany, I was using it all the time while my friends
were dousing themselves with citronella and whatever else they could
find - I didn't get one single bite and they were covered in them!
And I smelled a lot better than they did, too!"
S. Wahl, Vancouver, Canada

Mum's Tum

"Here is my testimonial for Mum's Tum, the best stretch (or anti-stretch) mark cream ever I think!!
 
At twenty-six years old I gave birth to a nine pound baby with a total weight gain of twenty-five pounds and I had stretch marks galore from above my belly button to the bottom of my belly.
 
Now, ten years later at thirty-six years of age, I carried twins full term, over thirteen pounds of baby and a total weight gain of forty pounds.  My partner faithfully rubbed my belly every night with Mum's Tum cream and to the very end of the pregnancy there were absolutely no new stretch marks.  Not one!!  I didn't experience itchy skin on my belly either.
 
The smell is calming and soothing, and the jars we purchased lasted for a long time, even given the monstrous size of my belly!  I have recommended it to anyone I know that is pregnant, and I still have some that I use just as cream.
 
Thank you Beth!!
 
Shelley"
 
"MUM'S TUM ROCKS MY WORLD - SEND MORE - QUICK!!!"

(L. M. during 6th month of twins to term......)

Baby's Bum

11.06.97

"I just wanted to write to tell you how much I love your 'Baby's Bum'
cream. Bryce always seemed to have red areas between the folds of
skin and on his bum and I found the over-the-counter creams to be so
antiseptic smelling. But your cream cleared up his rashes and he
smells wonderful! I put the cream on his bum every night before bed
and he's never had a bad rash since I started using it. Oh! By the
way, I had a cut on my finger for a few days - I put the Bumps cream
on it last night and it's healed this morning!! Great Stuff!!
I really do love it -Thanks -
Lori Dupuis,
Amherstburg, Ontario

Smoother Soother

"Dragonfly Dreaming's Smoother Soother is simply the best thing I
have have ever used for post-depillitation treatments - and believe
me, I've tried everything on the market! It's brilliant!"
Penny Thomas, Aesthetician, BC, Canada

Itchless Gel

"I was beside myself with vaginal irritation - been to umpteen
physicians who gave me al kinds of creams - cortizone and whatever -
nothing worked, and I was beside myself - knowing how impressed my
Mum was with your products, I finally asked if you had anything that
might help - wow! Beth! - after less than a week of using your
Itchless Gel - it has really helped to keep it at bay! After all
those drugs - none of which worked... It's like a miracle."
Tammy Rowbotthem, Victoria, BC, Canada

The Dragonfly Dreaming Itchless Gel has given me great relief from an
irritated skin condition that not even my doctor could help with.
Thanks to this cream my life is far more enjoyable now.
Beyond this, I have found the products of Dragonfly Dreaming to be
top quality and more effective than any other products I have tried.
Tamara Roswell

Tappy Toes

"Look at my feet! I have been pampering myself for years with all
kinds of products - nothing ever made any difference. But after only
a few weeks of using Tappy Toes every night, I can see a huge
difference in my feet - the nails are stonger, my skin is softer, the
callousses are softening up - and above all my cuticles are
softening and getting more healthy - wow - this is like nothing
else! Send me more Tappy Toes!"
Sharon Wahl, Education Professor, Vancouver, Canada

Stings'n'Things & HealStick

Received the package and enjoy the products immensely! In fact, the
day it arrived, my daughter was agonizing with nursing her brand new
daughter who latches on like a Hoover vacumn...poor mommy had
very sore nipples and I gave her the Heal Stick to try....she had relief
over night! Her mid-wife approves of the product is going to
recommend it to her other clients. A couple days later I was
working in my yard and absent mindedly reached into a tall growth of
stinging nettle....my arms were on fire right up to my elbows. I
applied my Stings'n'Things within minutes and had instant
relief.....no welts or rash came after either.
We haven't had cause to use the Ear Today ... thankfully! But I'm
confident it will amaze us too.
You have some fantastic products Beth, I can't wait to try some more.
Thank you for the soap that you sent with the package! It smells like
heaven."
L. Moore, Manitoba, Canada

"I use "Stings'n'Things" and love it. My first experience with it
was on a wasp sting - it took the pain away immediately. It works
great on mosquito bites, as well. My friend's grandson had huge
welts from them and within 15 minutes the welts were down to small
red dots."
L. Casselman, Manitoba, Canada

No Lies! Auntie-Nit Treatment

"Thank you so much! It got rid of the bugs and they didn't even have
to cut my hair off!!!"
Anna J, Cobble Hill, BC, age 7

Soaps

"One of the things that makes your soap stand out is that, compared
to other glycerin soaps, they don't lose their colour or scent - and
don't have that awful cloying fragrance oil smell of course! - and
they don't get all slimey - and they last for a phenomenally long
time! AND - they look absolutely fabulous in our bathrooms! AND AND
even my husband loves your scent blends!"
S. Dale, BC, Canada

General

"Your products are truly unique - I am constantly inundated with
people trying to sell me body care products, and all I have to do is
turn the bottle over to see all the nasty stuff that is in there -
there is nobody else in Western Canada doing what you're doing - and
our clients obviously appreciate it too!"
Leanne Brown, Spa/Salon Owner, BC, Canada

"Beth I love your products!"
K. Wall, Victoria BC

"Hi Beth :-)

The kids got daddy's special toe and fingernail clipping tonight, accompanied with a serious salve rub on all ten digits :-))
 
 Just wondering, how to make the soap last? What should we store it in?
 
Your creations are wonderful. Everyone should, at some time in their life, experience the delight in pampering their skin with your honest mixtures...
 
All the best Beth,
 
Spring is nearly here :-)))
