Muscle Rub Essential Oil Blend

Jojoba makes an excellent carrier for essential oils, we won’t go into the nitty gritty of why in this post, find out more on our post dedicated to this topic. We decided to do a Mix of the Month, essential oil mixes to make and use. With summer upon us, many of us are working in the garden and participating in sports and other active hobbies. This means sore muscles! While sore muscles heal well on their own, this essential oil muscle rub recipe will help reduce the pain, it is also said to promote faster healing. We used our arnica-infused jojoba, which can be used on its own as a DIY muscle rub, but we thought adding a few beneficial essential oils would not only make it smell great but increase benefits and hopefully make it more effective.

ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND FOR MUSCLE PAIN – RECIPE
1 glass roller bottle (.3 oz size)
10 drops essential oil of peppermint or wintergreen
3 drops essential oil of clove

There are a few precautions with any essential oils: Never use undiluted, in eyes, or around mucus membranes. Do not ingest. Keep away from children and do not use essential oils on children or pets unless directed by a professional (cats in particular are very sensitive to essential oils, never use on cats). Avoid while pregnant and with homeopathics. May cause skin irritation (test on a small patch of skin in an insensitive portion of your body with proper dilution rate).
