Joint care

What is it?
Joint pain and stiffness can come from many causes. Arthritis alone is an umbrella term for more than 140 conditions, with osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis the most common. Cold weather makes many of them worse, as circulation drops and pain sensitivity rises. Because these oils are applied to the skin, they can be used alongside other treatment without getting in the way of it.

Blend intention

Warming, circulation and comfort. Ginger for its warming, circulation boosting action. Juniper Berry, traditionally used for joint health and lymphatic drainage. Wintergreen, prized for its high natural analgesic content and a long standing favourite with sports people. Ravensar, a rich herbal oil from Madagascar.

Blend into a certified organic carrier such as Jojoba and massage into the affected area. For a warm bath, add a few drops with Epsom salt and soak for 15 minutes. For deeper relief, apply a Juniper Berry and Jojoba mixture to the joint and wrap it overnight. See a health professional if symptoms persist beyond two weeks.
