"I really did not believe it would help until they gave me a sample: it was the biggest relief I found for my arthritis and shoulder tendinitis, thank God I tried it! I had received cortisone injections, but they worked only temporarily" - Linda S., Canastota, New York.
Regardless of age or how active we are, we all experience muscle fatigue and some pain in joints or muscles at times. And unfortunately for many people this is a constant problem.
Luckily, essential oils have been an effective resource to prevent, overcome or reduce these problems for thousands of years.
We can use specific oils and, if we have some knowledge - to mix several oils for this purpose - as well. But it is simpler if we have a mixture made by experts in the properties and ideal combinations of essential oils. Here, we will speak about one of these mixtures, the "Soothing Blend" of therapeutic grade essential oils.
Advantages of essential oils
Cramps, sprains, back contractures, tendonitis, joint wear (osteoarthritis), muscle fatigue, sprains, etc. accompanied by pain and inflammation are very common problems for which oral anti-inflammatory drugs are usually used.
But these drugs have the drawback that first they have to be absorbed intestinally, then metabolized in the liver to reach the blood and finally the inflamed tissue; a slow course with frequent side effects such as gastric discomfort, liver toxicity and kidney, and increased blood pressure.
On the contrary, essential oils do not have these disadvantages since the special composition of their molecules allows its immediate absorption trough topical application on the skin, entering the bloodstream and benefiting the affected area in addition to providing a healthy systemic effect to the whole organism.
Ideal ingredients acting synergistically
Several of these oils are traditionally used alone with satisfactory results, but together, in the ideal proportions, their benefits are greatly increased.
The Soothing Blend contains:
Wintergreen, with 99% of natural methyl salicylate, which gives, without harmful effects, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Camphor, also analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Peppermint, with a refreshing and relieving effect on the joints.
Ylang Ylang, traditionally used against stress, exhaustion and to normalize breathing and accelerated heart rate.
Helichrysum, anti-inflammatory and conducive to circulation.
Blue Tansy, traditionally used for low blood pressure, and joint pain.
Blue Chamomile, with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.
Osmanthus, a very expensive oil from China, traditionally used to relieve muscular overexertion and pain.
The Favorite Uses of the Soothing Blend
The Soothing Blend should only be used topically. When rubbed gently on the chosen area, it leaves no greasy sensation and the therapeutic benefits are experienced almost immediately.
If you practice a sport or a regular exercise the Mix is excellent to help prepare before going into action and afterwards, to relieve muscle fatigue or any discomfort that may have occurred. There is also a presentation of the Blend in the form of a cream, ideal to have it always in your bathroom or carry it in your gym bag.
It is a restorative and comforting resource after a day of heavy chores or to overcome rigidities, contractures and discomfort after a long day in the office.
Older adults benefit greatly from this Blend, especially by applying it to their legs and joints with pain or inflammation. To minimize any possibility of skin irritation - especially when used frequently - it is advisable to dilute it in carrier oil. This also makes it easier to use for massages.
If you want to enhance the therapeutic effects of the Blend, you can also apply frankincense essential oil, or if you have bone pains you can increase the analgesic effects by applying additional wintergreen essential oil. And when finishing a massage you can increase the effects of the Blend by placing a warm wet towel over the area, so that the oils penetrate deeper.
Even though therapeutic grade essential oils are not a medicine, and although this information is not intended to replace medical advice, it is important to say that many users of the Soothing Blend who suffer problems with very different types of intense and chronic pain in muscles or joints, report the great help that this Mix gives them.
