7. Essential Oils
Essential oils that can be used to scent a room through a diffuser or rubbed onto the skin can help relieve the symptoms of tendonitis. There are a number of essential oils that can be effective, but for tendonitis, the two of the best are lemongrass and marjoram. Both of these herbs in essential herb form are beneficial for toning muscles and tendons and can help repair connective tissues.
These oils can be rubbed right onto the skin, but since they tend to be strong, it is often useful to dilute them with a neutral-smelling oil, such an almond. You can also use coconut oil or apricot kernel oil as a carrier oil. Peppermint is also a good choice because it works as a pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory agent. Lavender is also calming and has antispasmodic properties. You can combine the benefits of two treatments by using essential oils in a lateral massage of the tendons.
