My Pain Blend

I have already gone through one whole roller ball of this.  It is AWESOME!  It helps with muscle aches and pains, perfect for after a workout or just for those nagging, chronic pains.  My stepmother, Cheryl, was visiting and was complaining about her back hurting "under her wing."  She said it had been hurting for about four days.  Rubbed this all over it and BOOM!  Pain gone.  Not kidding.

Here's my recipe:

12 drops PanAway

12 drops Valor

12 drops Peppermint

5 drops White Fir

5 drops Eucalyptus Blue

10 drops Lemongrass

10 drops Cypress
5 drops Helichrysum (not pictured)

I didn't add Helichrysum or carrier oil for the first round.  I think I will add a bit this time.

Feel free to add or remove any of these if they don't work for you, but this is certainly a winner for me!

These are the reasons I used these specific oils.  Please know that these oils have many other uses but these are the uses that relate to my PAIN BLEND.

• PANAWAY - reduces pain and inflammation, increases circulation, accelerates healing, relieves swelling and discomfort from a myriad of issues, relieves deep tissue pain especially when added to Helichrysum
• VALOR - helps with soreness, bruising, back problems/ sciatic pain, helps body to self-correct its balance and alignment
• PEPPERMINT - anti-inflammatory and reduces soreness
• WHITE FIR - pain relieving
• EUCALYPTUS BLUE - relieves sore muscles, is both calming and invigorating
• LEMONGRASS - anti-inflammatory, regenerates connective tissues and ligaments, promotes lymph flow
• CYPRESS - improves circulation, discourages fluid retention
• HELICHRYSUM - antispasmodic, helps with circulatory disorders and works with PanAway for deep tissue pain

The finished product!

This recipe can (and will!) change with the more I learn about EOs and the more oils I attain.  The more I learn, the more I want to add to my collection.  I buy at least $50 worth of YL oils per month on my ER order (Essential Rewards) pretty easily.  If I spend past a certain amount, I even get FREE OILS!  Nothing better than that!  For now, this blend has been awesome and I can't wait to use it on my soon-to-be-sore muscles once I start trying to lose this holiday weight!
