Soothing Relief: My Go-To Essential Oil Blend for Aches and Pains
Over the years, I’ve turned to nature to support my body through its many seasons—especially when it comes to managing aches and pains. Whether it’s the result of injury, chronic tension, or simply the wear and tear of daily life, this essential oil blend has become one of my most trusted companions for comfort and relief.
Let me introduce you to my personal Soothing Relief Blend—a 10ml roller bottle filled with powerhouse plant allies that work together to ease discomfort and promote relaxation.
What’s Inside:
- Copaiba – Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, copaiba is my go-to for calming discomfort deep within the muscles and joints.
- Frankincense – A grounding oil that also supports cellular health and reduces inflammation. I find it enhances the effectiveness of every other oil in the blend.
- Lemongrass – Bright and uplifting, lemongrass helps reduce muscle tension and supports circulation—great after long days or physical exertion.
- Ylang Ylang – While often used for emotional balance, ylang ylang also promotes relaxation in the muscles and helps soften tight, stressed areas.
- Marjoram – Often called the “herb of happiness,” marjoram is excellent for soothing sore muscles and calming spasms.
- Siberian Fir – This crisp, forest-scented oil is cooling and anti-inflammatory—perfect for reducing pain and promoting deep muscle relaxation.
How to Make It:
In a 10ml roller bottle, add:
- 3 drops Copaiba
- 3 drops Frankincense
- 3 drops Lemongrass
- 2 drops Ylang Ylang
- 3 drops Marjoram
- 3 drops Siberian Fir
Top off the bottle with fractionated coconut oil, snap on the roller top, and give it a gentle shake.
How I Use It:
I roll this blend directly onto areas of tension—like my lower back, shoulders, hips, or knees—especially after a long walk or physical therapy. I also love to apply it before bed to promote more restful sleep when discomfort might otherwise keep me up.
This blend smells divine and feels like a nurturing act of self-care every time I apply it.
Note: As always, be sure to do a patch test first and consult with a healthcare professional if you’re pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition.
