ESSENTIAL OILS FOR SOOTHING MUSCLE ACHES AND PAINS

Aching muscles can be the result of over use such as an intense exercise or sports session, or can be caused by various mild or more serious medical conditions. Muscle stiffness and aching neck and shoulders can be caused by stress and tension in the area or from holding a position, (for instance working on a computer) for too long. 
Essential Oils are particularly good for soothing tired or painful muscles. Use the oils below as a bath soak or for massage when mixed with a carrier oil.
