Pain Relief Therapeutic Massage Oil Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 drops Lavender essential oil
• 4 drops Marjoram essential oil
• 1 drop Cedarwood essential oil
• 1 drop Chamomile essentail oil
• 1 drop Ginger essential oil
• 1/4 cup (60ml) carrier oil of your choice such as apricot kernel oil, jojoba oil or sunflower oil
• Optional: Substitute 1 tablespoon (15ml) borage oil for 1 tablespoon of carrier oil.
  Borage oil helps support mobility of joints and tissues.

Directions

Wait at least 24 hours before using to let the blend 'cure'. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place. Use within three months.

If you want to make a larger amount of this therapeutic massage oil recipe, depending on the size of the bottle, simply double or triple the recipe. (Remember it tends to go rancid after a few months.)

Caution: Ginger may irritate sensitive skin, which is why it's at such a low concentration. If you're exceptionally sensitive, leave it out.

If you're allergic to ragweed, you may also want to leave out the chamomile.
