Easy Essential Oil Inflammation Recipes

Inflammation is caused from various conditions: bacteria, poor diet, chemicals, hormonal imbalance, or physical injury. When blood vessels leading to the heart are damaged and clogged, a protein is released into the bloodstream called C-reactive protein. Certain essential oils have been documented to be excellent for reducing inflammation.

A teaspoon of Wintergreen is the equivalent of almost twenty-two adult aspirin, so you'd only need to use a drop with a carrier oil. Oregano has been shown to reduce inflammation by 94%.
Myrrh oil is rated as the second best anti inflammatory essential oil. Frankincense resin is the best treatment for arthritis. These oils can be mixed with neutral oils such as grape seed oil or olive oil and be applied directly to the part of the body suffering from inflammation. They can also be used in diffusers for a constant stream of low levels of oils into the brain and body as a whole. Best of all, there are no side effects from the use of essential oils.
