As the oil is quite strong, it is advisable to mix it with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil) before rubbing it onto your joints.
This oil can be an irritant if applied directly to broken or damaged skin, so ensure to avoid the use of it on such areas. When applied topically, directly to the affected area, it can offer relief from pain and relaxation.
Mix around 5 to 10 drops of lavender essential oil to some warm olive oil, and then massage the mixture onto the affected area. Alternatively, add 5 drops to your bath tub for full body relief.
Use a cotton ball to apply the mixture to your upper forehead just below the hairline, while keeping away from the eyes. After half an hour, the pain should decrease. For even greater effect, try adding a couple of drops of rosemary or lavender oil to the mixture.
Try mixing 2-3 drops wintergreen essential oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil, then massage the oil into the affected areas of your body. You can also apply this mixture to hot or cold compresses.
