3. Treats Pain
As well as being eminently calming, seriously soothing and really relaxing, lavender oil is also an effective reliever of joint pain and sore muscles feeling the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness. The delightful aromas can calm the senses and relax the mind as the secretions of liberal topical applications seek to permeate deep into the skin, working its way into the belly of the affected muscle. Blood circulation is increased, firing up the stimulators, ready and waiting to be calmed.
As a massaging liquid, lavender oil is ideal for lubrication purposes, whilst the relief it provides for tight and tense muscles is hugely beneficial for anyone seeking natural pain relief. When you work out the best way to use essential oils, in terms of which method is most effective for you, you may find that it starts to replace the over the counter pain treatments you’ve become so used to tipping down your throat without so much as a second thought.
