Aside from reading, one of my interests is essential oils. Anyone who’s given them a try knows how deliciously fragrant most of them can be and how wonderfully they work on various ailments.
Here are a few of my favorite blends for aching muscles.
Remember to ALWAYS be sure your essential oils are added to a base oil, such as sweet almond, coconut, grapeseed, hemp, or olive oil. There are many to choose from. Also, use cautiously if you tend to have allergies.

In a 4 oz bottle combine the following:
14 drops lavender essential oil
14 drops chamomile essential oil
8 drops clove essential oil
4 drops clary sage essential oil
Fill the rest of the bottle with your chosen base oil.
Another nice variation if you’d like the mixture to have a bit more of a anti stress affect:
10 drops lavender essential oil
14 drops chamomile essential oil
8 drops peppermint essential oil
8 drops neroli essential oil
Fill the rest of the bottle with your chosen base oil.
Massage either of these blends into the aching muscles. Or better yet, have someone special do it for you.
I have several books that are very helpful and informative. If you’re interested you can check out some books on the topic here: Essential Oils
