Got Pain?
Sore Muscles Salve
No longer are the days that you need to reach for Tylenol or Volteran for your sore muscles! Whip up a batch of this amazing salve and you will be set for months. This recipe makes a small mason jar (approx. 1.5cups) and will last you a long time.
What to use it for?
Sore muscles after a great workout, sore feet after a long day at work, cramps, sore joints… anything that needs a little relief! I love that this recipe contains no hormone disrupting, toxic chemicals or long term negative effects like most of the over the counter pain relievers these days!

*For essential oils I only recommend Young Living, they are the purest and have their own farms! NO pesticides, beyond organic and you can actually go to the farms to see everything happen. Most other essential oil companies buy their oils then simply re-bottle them as their own. NO way of being in control of the soil, seed, distillation process etc.*
Why each oil?
Balsalm fir- relaxes muscles while relieving pain
Peppermint- that tingling/cooling effect, reduces muscle spasm
Ginger- anti-inflammatory properties called gingerols
Marjoram- a warming effect on the body, improves circulation to increase the blood flow
Wintergreen- active ingredient methyl salicylate, natural analgesic
Panaway- reduces inflammation while promoting circulation, a blend specifically for relief
Dragontime- contains natural phytoestrogens - the perfect choice for women's emotions during special times and needs
