Natural Remedy Massage Lotions

Available in the shop {here}

Finally!  Last week I finally had the chance to mix and bottle some lotion blends to list in the shop. These blends are a natural, effective way to support 4 common concerns using an alternative to OTC medications.  Essential oils were chosen for their therapeutic properties and synergistic relationship to one another to create these wonderful blends.  The lotion base contains 89% organic ingredients and leaves the skin feeling silky smooth.  I have personally used these blends as well as clients and family members and everyone reports excellent results.

Weekly Essential Oil~ Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobilis)



Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobilis) is steam distilled from the flowers.  Its aroma is deep and intense, yet warm, fruity and sweet.  Just a few drops go a long way when blending.  Roman Chamomile is energetically calming and soothing.  Because it is calming to the central nervous system, it inspires relaxation both physically and emotionally. Roman Chamomile is a wonderful antispasmodic oil to use in belly blends for digestion and menstrual cramps as it promotes relaxation in the smooth muscles. It is also useful for aches and pains related to stress and muscle spasms of the legs.  Diluted in an unscented cream or lotion, Roman Chamomile is even gentle enough to use on babies who experience colic.

1 ounce Unscented Lotion

Weekly Essential Oil~ German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)


German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is steam distilled from the flowers.  Its aroma is sweet and fruity, yet herbal and strong.  When blending, a little goes a long way.  Try adding just a couple drops to your blend to keep it from overpowering other oils. German Chamomile is energetically calming and grounding.  It is helpful in calming feelings of anger and frustration related to stressful conditions.  It is a cooling oil and is excellent for reducing inflammation and pain especially in injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments.  German Chamomile is also a wonderful skin healing oil.  It is helpful in treating burns, insect bites and rashes.

Try blending German Chamomile in these 2 recipes.  The first recipe is a 1% dilution in Aloe Vera Gel and is safe to use on adults and children over 1 year.  
The second recipe is a 4% dilution and is suitable for use on adults and children ages 12 years and older.
I've used the same essential oils in both recipes, however the intention of each blend is different.  By using a different carrier (Aloe Vera Gel & Jojoba Wax) and adjusting the amount of essential oils used, the strength and therefore the use of the blend is different.


Calming & Healing for Minor Bruises & Scrapes
1 ounce Aloe Vera Gel
1 drop German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) 
2 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum)
3 drops Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Apply to clean wound several times daily.

Minor Injury Massage Oil
(ie: swollen muscles, joints & tendons)
1 ounce jojoba wax
8 drops German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita)
4 drops Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum)
12 drops Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

Massage onto area of concern several times daily.



Anyone who is on their feet all day will appreciate the

The soothing effects can be felt almost immediately!
