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. Roll-on Bottle Recipes:
