Re: Homemade muscle rub for pain
I have tried just a mixture of only peppermint and lavender with a carrier oil. Put it on the bottom of my feet before bed. Has been helpful with my allergies at lowering my histamine level. You are supposed to add lemon to that mix but I cant do lemon. If you are not experimenting with oils, you are missing out on some good therapy
