- I get excited whenever I am in the kitchen. To me cooking is not only an art or a hobby, but a way of sharing love with family and friends. Cooking with all-natural ingredients is the only way to go, and there is no better way than homemade. I wanted to create this blog as sort of a collection of all the discoveries that I have come across each day (whether it be in the kitchen, the bathroom, outside, etc.) that seems fascinating to me, or of anything that I am already aware of and am just wanting to share my thoughts on.
Thank you for this list! I am going to start incorporating these ingredients into my cooking and homemade beverages. Anti-inflammatory is the key to relief from my costochondritis! Here is a list of essential oils that are anti-inflammatory:
ReplyDeleteCypress oil - helps promote circulation (relieves my costochondritis when I place it directly on the area of discomfort).
Basil oil - powerful muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory agent.
Tea-tree oil - often used to help with skin issues, it’s less known that tea-tree oil can aid muscles.
Wintergreen oil - often used for arthritis and muscle and nerve pain. Wintergreen, along with peppermint and spearmint oils, is also used in reducing inflammation often associated with injury.
St. John’s wort oil - promotes circulation, loosens muscles, helps muscle cramps and strains, and more. When you have muscle cramps, try mixing 5 tbsp of St. John’s wort oil, 1 tbsp arnica, and 1 tsp each of eucalyptus and rosemary oils. Gently massage oil mixture into sore muscles after a workout.
Frankincense - relaxes muscles and reduces inflammation.
Ginger oil - anti-inflammatory, often used to reduce muscular aches and pains. It also promotes physical energy and circulation.
Marjoram oil - often used for arthritis, muscle and nerve pain, muscle inflammation associated with injury, and circulatory disorders.
Mandarin oil - relaxes muscles and relieves muscle cramps
Spruce oil (and other evergreens)
Thank you also for this list of essential oils. ;-)
