Essential Oils for Sore, Aching Muscles
- Before taking a shower, get a face towel or a clean piece of cloth. Put three drops of essential oils then rub it all over your body then shower the way you normally would.
- After taking a shower, get 20ml of almond oil and mix it with 9 drops of rosemary or lavender oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour some of the mixture into your palm and massage your body with the oil starting from your legs, up to your arms using a circular motion upward towards your heart. Use also the mixture to massage your stomach and shoulder muscles.
