Aromatherapy Using Essential Oils for Muscle Soreness / Pain
Muscle
soreness and pain responds well to treatment using essential oils,
whether it's as a result of overworking them or from staying in one
position too long. Essential oils that can be helpful for soothing sore muscles include: lavender, cypress, eucalyptus, peppermint, marjoram, rosemary, lemongrass, lemon, grapefruit, clary sage, sandalwood, and tea tree. Below are a few ways to treat sore muscles using essential oils.
Treating Muscle Soreness with Essential Oil Bath & Massage
Bath and massage are two popular ways of treating muscle soreness. When you combine these treatments with essential oils, you can make them even more powerful. Try our Muscle Relief series with cypress and peppermint, including bath salts, bath bomb and a bath & massage oil. Or if you're feeling adventurous, you can try creating your own recipe using our unscented bath & massage oil and a blend of any of the above essential oils. Our Canadian Maple Essential Oil Blend is another great choice when combined with unscented lotion or bath/massage products.
Natural Essential Oil Topical Remedies for Sore Muscles
Baths and massages are not always convenient, so it's good to have effective topical treatments for muscle soreness. Our Arthritis, Joint & Muscle Pain Relief Gel is an effective option containing cypress and eucalyptus. Or for when you're on the go, our Headache Relief Essential Oil Roll-on, with peppermint and lavender, is a convenient option. You can also try creating your own topical treatments using either our unscented comfrey gel or our unscented roll-on with your choice of the above essential oils. And try using any of these solutions in combination with a soothing heat pack.
