EOs Use, Safety & Recipes for Pain

How to use essential oils for pain.
Apply essential oils to the area of pain.  If the oil feels uncomfortable (too hot or cold), rub the area with a carrier oil (such as olive oil) to dilute.  Do not add water.
 
How much:
Apply 1-4 drops to the painful area, dilute with a carrier oil and apply.
 
How often:
Repeat as symptoms return
 
Compress:
Applying compresses helps to drive in the essential oil into the skin.  Hot is soothing for cramping or a toothache and cold eases sprains or swelling.  Wet a cloth with either hot or cold water, wring out excess and place in the affected area after applying essential oil. Repeat as necessary.
Baths:
Ideal for easing body aches and pains.  Mix 2-5 drops of essential oils with Epsom Salts and add to running water. Recommended oils: Lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, and marjoram.
