With the extreme weather conditions both here overseas I figured there are going to be lots of people who have pulled muscles while slipping in mud (here) or snow and ice (UK, Europe, USA). Here are a few recipes you can make and then rub into the affected areas on your own or someone else’s legs etc.
Where the recipe says carrier oil you can use any good quality food grade oil such as extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, apricot kernal oil, sweet almond oil, sesame oil or jojoba oil. A good one to use would also be mustard oil that you can now buy in Australian supermarkets. As always when using essential oils follow the safety precautions…..only use good quality essentil oil, don’t apply any essential oil directly onto the skin without diluting with a carrier oil ( the only exceptions being lavender,chamomile or tea tree). Keep out of reach of children-if swallowed contact the poisons information centre.
