The essential oils in Deep Relief work so well when it comes to relieving tension and discomfort in the body. But, they work differently than conventional over the counter muscle rubs. Conventional products contain counter-irritants that simply make the skin tingle so the brain forgets the underlying pain. Essential oils work differently. They can penetrate through the skin, into the cells of the muscles and tendons to support the body through pain and healing. This is a huge win!

KEY INGREDIENTS All nine essential oils in Deep Relief were carefully selected to create this soothing oil's invigorating benefits!

  • Peppermint: This cooling oil's main constituent is menthol, which is soothing and highly effective at penetrating through the skin, allowing the essential oils to reach the areas of need. Peppermint is also invigorating when you're feeling stress and tension.
  • Lemon: High in the immune-supporting constituent limonene, Lemon is cooling to the mind and body.
  • Grand Fir: Tree oils are soothing to both the mind and body, especially in the presence of inflammation. Grand fir supports the body's natural response to pain and injury, so they are great for soothing tired muscles.
  • Clove: This oil is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body during pain, provides relief to joints and muscles, and also supports the immune system!
  • Copaiba: Copaiba is the main fireman, putting out all the fires and soothing the body through times of inflammation and injury. This oil is so calming and relaxing to the body and is one of our favorites even for little ones.
  • Wintergreen: High in natural salicylates, Wintergreen supports the body's response to injury and inflammation, supports pain reduction, and soothes tired and sore joints and muscles.
  • Helichrysum: This oil is a powerhouse. It supports the body through inflammation, muscle spasms and pain, soothes and calms body and mind, and helps the body's natural regeneration processes.

DEEP RELIEF & EMOTIONS Did you know that all of our essential oils have stress relieving benefits - even if they don't have a special name? It's easy to remember to grab the Joy, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming when it comes to dealing with less “physical” issues, but when you put together a list of your must have basic oils, no matter what they are, they will all be supporting your emotional functions as well.

One of the heavy-hitters in the round up of basic oils is Deep Relief. It is amazing for physical relief, muscle soreness, and a cooling massage after a workout, but get ready - this blend also helps us to release…

Exhaustion. Sign me up for a vat!!!

We all know that pain is exhausting, and emotional pain can be crippling when it is pushed down for a long time without being addressed. Our connective tissue and muscles are directly affected by this type of repressed stress.

When you use essential oils, you are not simply addressing a surface issue of “something hurts”. Essential oils interact with our brain and our nervous system. As we intentionally work on managing stress, we begin to CHANGE the instructions and signals our brain is sending out for our survival and protection.

If you find yourself exhausted, it may be time to have a talk with inner you. What is swimming around in there, unanswered, unheard, unfelt. Using Deep Relief can be a great way to start releasing some of that deep pain and/or exhaustion.
