Top blends for muscular pain/stiffness

[Fruimaagime]

I have heard that Lavender eo, neat on a contracted muscle helps, then massaged over the muscle. Im not sure how or if it works. If any body knows please tell. Its worth a try perhaps

I absolutely love Badger Massage Oils.

I love that they use organic oils and the blends they put together are just very warming and healing. I can feel the medicine in them as soon as they hit my skin.

I love the sore muscle blend for pain and also the healing birch.

Just wonderful oils.

hi new to the site, I use a muscle ease blend that consisits of lavender, peppermint & eucalyptus oil with grapeseed oil it is fantastic for anyone suffering muscular pain or stiffness. i use it alot on landscape gardeners and builders etc and they state it does them wonders.

Yeah, I love peppermint oil too, for pain. Creams that have MSM in them are also very good.

I'm ok with pure lavender in a mixture (not a fan of it by itself though) but for some reason, most products use lavendula or a less pure form.

Hi!
I'm fairly new to all this, but for sore, stiff muscles or sprains I've been using a blend called "Panaway" that contains Peppermint, Wintergreen, Clove and Helichrysum. My family swears by it; we take it to Taekwon-do with us! I think sufferers of epilepsy have to be careful of/avoid wintergreen, so it might pay to check that out. Wintergreen gives off that fantastic "deep heat" smell you often notice in sports rubs!
Cheers!

I have used Plai (Zingiber cassumnar) with good effect too. Plai is a muscle relaxant and it is good for joint problems too. It is indicated for aches and pains, inflammations, sprains and strains and so on...

deal me in on lavender rant lol I agree how this wonderfull verstatile oil gets overlooked

 

[I do care!]

Dont forget carrot oil!! also what is fab for your clients is 'olbas oil'!!! it contains so many of the good essential oils, and it does not need blending, apart from a drop of oil to smoothe it into the skin. I tell my clients to use this, if they suffer from aches and pains. Its great for keen runners, as I will advise them to take it when they go running, as long as they decant it into a small plastic bottle first!! it means they dont have to have it blended by a proff!!

I agree with EJM - Plai is one of the best essential oils for aches, pains and inflammation. It has long been used for these purposes in traditional Thai massage. Plai also has a range of other health benefits too - including supporting the immune system, fighting infection and helping with digestive and respiratory problems.
