Recover Essential Oil Blend was designed to help the body find relief from tired and sore muscles. Inflammation is one of the reasons our muscles become tired and sore. Inflammation can happen when you spent too much time working in the yard or you over did it at the gym. For those days, this blend works great. This blend offers a frosty scent with its wintergreen and camphor as well as a warming scent with its rosemary and frankincense. It is very soothing!
The Oils in Recover Essential Oil Blend
Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens): This oil is high in methyl salicylate. This relieves g muscular skeletal pain. Methyl salicylate is known to increase blood flow to an area by dilating the capillaries. This can also increase the warmth to an area. They say methyl salicylate acts similarly to aspirin offering analgesic properties when applied topically.
White Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora): This oil contains limonene. This is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Historically this oil has been used for muscular aches and pains and rheumatism.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Rosemary contains champhor and a-pinene. Both are known for their analgesic and anti rheumatic benefits.
Cajeput (Melaleuca cajuputi): Cajeput contains a high amount of 1,8 cineole. This is known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic benefits. It is highly effective for reducing pain and discomfort.
Fir (Abies sibirica): Fir contains bornyl acetate and promotes relaxation and reduces inflammation. It also helps with congestion.
Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllata): Clove contains a high content of eugenol. Eugenol is used by dentists to help with inflammation.
Helichrysum (Helichrysum angustifolium): Helichrysum is one of my favorite oils and holds lots of benefits. It promotes the regeneration of skin cells, has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic benefits. It is great for helping to deter bruising which makes it great to add for topical applications.
Juniper (Juniperus communis): Juniper is another oil high in a-pinene offering analgesic and anti-rheumatic benefits to this blend as well as promoting circulation.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita): Peppermint is known for its menthol properties. Offering analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits as well as its cooling properties.
Frankincense (Boswellia carteri): Frankincense is such a wonderful oil offering many benefits. For this blend, I am sure they took into accounts its high content of a-pinene.
