natural pain relievers

There are natural pain relievers headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, and more. These natural ones are derived from a singular or combination of essential oils and other plant materials. I personally have used a natural essential oil pain reliever for years!  Even if any essential oil does not work completely on your pain, this is still beneficial, as this means you can use fewer pharmaceuticals.

Some companies have started regulating essential oils. Canada has but the United States has not. For instance, just like supplements, essential oils are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This means that essential oil products do not need to gain FDA approval before they are brought to the market and sold to consumers. Another reason to make your own natural blends from reputable suppliers.

About essential oils:

Some are potent and powerful. As a rule, dilute with a carrier oil such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, olive oil, or castor oil. You can use essential oils by massaging into the skin via a carrier oil, inhaling vapors from a hot water bowl or vaporizer, soaking in the tub with a few drops, and compresses.
