Essential Oil Blend for Aches and Pains

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.

Manifest Blend

Did you know that essential oils and thinking in terms of attracting goodness go hand in hand? Essential oils are great for boosting moods and improving overall well-being. The oils are effective for so many different situations from relieving the pain of a minor burn to cleaning your home. Learning about essential oils, their properties and ways to use them can actually help you maintain a positive vibration and help you focus on taking action with your goals. When we learn and get our brains working, we actually can increase our mindset and that brings us closer to our goals and desires.

Let’s face it, we are over two weeks into this year and for most people I talk to, it is proving to be a challenging repeat of the last couple years. The ideas and goals that most of us had for the New Year are already a fading memory as we dig deep in just getting through the long days. I may have a simple remedy that will get you back into the high vibes of focusing on attracting good things into your life. I mean we cannot change the crazy, but we can change where we focus our attention.

Having a routine

Whenever I start to feel “stuck” or that I keep experiencing not so great things, I pull out this blend and work with it to get out of my negative head space. My routine is actually pretty simple–I drink my coffee and write out a long list of gratitudes, and why these people and experiences inspire me, and then I apply this to my hands and cup my hands over my nose and take five intentional breaths. A gratitude practice by the way is one of the easiest ways to get out of bad funk. With consistency you can truly change your life just by being authentically grateful. After I spend time acknowledging all that is good, I focus on what I want in my life and sit with imagining how it is going to feel when I experience that which I desire.
