Turmeric Oil + 3 Other Essential Oils for Joint Pain

How to Blend Turmeric Oil with 3 Other Essential Oils for Joint Pain for Natural Relief!

Turmeric is one of my favorite essential oils for joint pain.

It calms inflammation and relieves pain so well!

Even persistent pain that shows up in our joints and prevents us from enjoying things like typing, going up and down stairs, driving, walking, dancing, gardening . . . (this list could get really long!)

I want to show you how to use Turmeric oil in a base of aloe vera gel, along with three other amazing essential oils for joint pain: Juniper, Cedarwood, and Lemon.

June 17, 2019

Crick in your neck? This Essential Oil Stiff Neck Rub can help ease the tension and restore your range of motion. Have you ever had such a stiff neck that you couldn’t turn your head? Couldn’t put on your sweater? Couldn’t do a backbend? Okay, I can’t really do a backbend even when my neck is NOT stiff! Having a stiff neck is painful, inconvenient . . . and unsafe. For example, you could injure yourself further by twisting your neck too hard, or you might not be able to turn to see what’s behind you when you’re backing out of a parking spot. This is an essential oil stiff neck rub that I created for Aromahead’s YouTube channel. It’s been very popular there and gotten a lot of positive feedback, so I’m sharing it for you here on our blog, too. […]
