Sometimes I'm convinced I have the body of an 80 something. When the weather changes, my joints hurt. When I sit in an office chair for hours straight, my back hurts. If I go to the gym and workout after a short hiatus, I can't move the next week. If I go bowling, I won't be able to use my wrist the next day.
Hi, I'm Dara, and I'm 25 going on 85. It's a not so fun cycle, but it is what it is.
When I'm feeling more like an 80 something rather than a 20 something, I turn to my beloved essential oils and my favorite DIY essential oil pain reliving cream. The best part about it is it's natural and it's great for alleviating minor aches and pains, relaxing muscles, and supporting healthy joint function.
If you're an essential oil user, chances are you probably already have the three oils needed to make this DIY pain cream. PanAway and Peppermint both come in the
Premium Starter Kit and Valor is everyone's favorite, can't go without oil. If you don't already have these three oils, add them to your list, because they are great everyday essential oils.
WHAT YOU NEED

WHAT YOU DO
In the glass jar, whip up the solid coconut oil with a fork until it becomes a creamy texture. Add in each essential oil and mix texture together. Store in a cool, dark place when not in use. *Remember to always store essential oils and essential oil blends in glass, not plastic! For this recipe, you will want solid, not fractionated, coconut oil to achieve a creamy texture.
To get the most out of your essential oils, make sure you are using high quality, 100% pure, un-adulterated essential oils.
