Calm Inflammation (short and long term) by using Essential Oil for Joint Pain

Juniper essential oil knew from the time it was young that it didn’t want to go into the family business.

Its family had created handmade furniture for generations. But Juniper noticed that a lot of its family members developed joint point due to all that woodworking . . . So Juniper learned a different skill set—massage and Aromatherapy! It learned to make pain relief gels, oils, and butters to ease inflamed joints.

I dreamed up that story for the Juniper essential oil profile in my book, The Heart of Aromatherapy. It’s a great way to remember some of Juniper’s talents!

The next time you have a cold or the flu, Juniper essential oil wants you to give it a call.

It will bring over some Aromatherapy blends to help clear your congestion, and it’ll draw you a nice warm bath.

And I hope you like massages, because Juniper plans to give you a soothing muscle massage after your bath (just in case you weren’t already relaxed enough!) It will focus on those areas that feel sore and achy when you’re sick. (Juniper’s not sure why body aches sometimes appear when we have the flu or a cold . . . but it’s sure it can ease the pain!)
