Essential Oils for Sore Muscles

Essential Oils for Sore Muscles

Essential oils for sore muscles can relieve the aches and pains you feel…naturally…via aromatherapy. When we feel the pain of inflammation, it means that tissue damage has already occurred. Perhaps you exercised to the point of having strained or pulled a muscle, like many of us often do when we haven’t exercised in a while? Or if you do exercise regularly, maybe you simply feel the dull ache of sore muscles from consistent exercise and need a bit of TLC.

Often, we don’t notice the stiffness and pain until we’re lying in bed at night and finally able to relax. The aching muscles from everyday stress sneak up later on. We realize, then, that we aren’t relaxed at all! And that’s when we start to think about finding effective, natural remedies, such as essential oils for sore muscles.

Of course what is needed at that moment (whether the cause of the pain is stress or too much exercise) is a blend of essential oils that reduce inflammation and have an immediate, cooling effect on our sore muscles. Four essential oils for sore muscles can help:

Essential Oils for Sore Muscles

• Blue Chamomile – When muscles have been irritated and stimulated from too much exercise that causes tissue damage, Blue Chamomile has a calming effect.* It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties.* Have you heard the term “Blue Chamomile” before? This type of Chamomile has a high content of azulene, the active organic compound of Chamomile, which bears a blue color. It is azulene that possesses anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties.
• Lavender – May be effective in the relief of joint and muscle pain when massaged into the skin.*
• Eucalyptus – When diluted and applied directly to aching joints, Eucalyptus oil may relieve pain, stiffness and acute inflammation.* Do not apply full-strength oil to the skin without diluting it first.
• Peppermint – The cooling properties of Peppermint oil benefit by removing muscle pain.* Great for the aches of rheumatoid arthritis and aching feet.*

Bio Source Naturals Sore Muscle Rub Essential Oil Blend combines Blue Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lavender and Peppermint to calm inflammation, increase flexibility, and energize and uplift the spirit.*

Also available in a convenient roll on which is pre-diluted in sweet almond oil and ready to use directly on sore muscle areas.
