Aromatherapy for Pain Relief

By Andrea Lewis

Woman with neck pain
Regardless of age, sooner or later, we will all suffer aches; whether caused by intense exercise, arthritis, or a fall. For those who prefer natural ingredients, that are both safe and effective -- for adults as well as children, here's a recipe for you:

The base oil should be grape seed, if your skin is normal to oily, almond if your skin is normal to dry.

2 tablespoons base oil
12 drops cypress essential oil
6 drops rosemary essential oil
10 drops cedarwood essential oil
6 drops peppermint essential oil

For additional potency, or to relieve the pain of a sprain or an aching bone on the mend, add 6 drops ginger essential oil.

Place ingredients in an amber glass bottle and gentle swirl together. Amber glass will effectively protect the analgesic oil from light and air. The mixture will remain effective for up to three months.

For those who wake up sore and achy, apply this analgesic oil to your sore spots before turning in at night. The inoffensive scent won't keep you awake nor repel your significant other, and you'll wake up the next morning pain-free!
(This analgesic oil can be rubbed on temples to relieve most headaches.)
