The other day, my husband was complaining that his neck felt stiff and it was painful for him to move around. I felt his neck with my fingers and I could feel some stiff, knotty muscles. So I put together an aromatherapy massage oil combination:

2 drops Lavender essential oil (lavandula augustifolia)
2 drops Rosemary essential oil (rosmarinus officinalis)

Add the essential oils to 1 teaspoon (5 cc) carrier oil of your choice. You can double, triple, quadruple, etc. the recipe if you need to massage a large area of the body.

To use, dip1 or 2 fingers into the essential oil/carrier oil mix and gently massage into the affected area until the skin is not oily any more. You’ll notice that the skin gets pretty warm with this combination of oils.

My husband said it helped a lot, and I repeated it 2 more times that day. By the next morning, he said his neck felt a lot better.

A little of this oil goes a long way. I still have plenty of it, and I only made up 5 cc of the mixture. An added bonus is that this combination smells great!
