3. Relieves Joint Pain and Sore Muscles
On top of its calming, soothing and relaxing properties, lavender oil is also an excellent reliever of joint pain and sore, achy muscles. Whilst the beautiful aromas calm your senses and relax your mind, the secretions of a topical application will permeate deep into the muscles, putting its recipe for relaxation into effect.
The circulation of blood will be increased, as the stimulators are fired up and made ready to be tickled with the sensation of soothing calmness. For a massage, lavender oil is a perfect lubricating lotion for the whole body. The relief it provides for tight and tense muscles is beneficial for athletes and everyone else besides, as one can feel the stress almost lifted clean out of their body. A couple of drops of lavender oil mixed into a base oil of your choice can make all the difference once massages into the target treatment area.
Alternatively, by soaking a towel in hot water, which has been infused with lavender oil, a compression treatment can be facilitated to ease injuries and sprains.
