As I was recovering from a severely sprained ankle and broken leg, I decided to find a topical essential oil solution that would help me with the pain. This gentle pain reliever has become a part of my medicine cabinet that I turn to after a good workout at the gym or a sore shoulder from carrying babies or shoulder bags for too long. On winter days I enjoy using it as I get out of the shower just because it provides a relaxing warmth I have not been able to find in over the counter lotions.

Add the following essential oils to as much as 1/2 cup to 1 cup of your favorite carrier oil combination.

1 ml Lavender Essential Oil

.5 ml Eucalyptus Essential Oil

.5 ml Peppermint Essential Oil

.5 ml Wintergreen Essential Oil
