Essential oils are a wonderful alternative for pain relief. I like to refer to it as a pain relief oil because that is essentially what it is accomplishing! If you are not yet familiar with essential oils, be sure to check out my other post,\u00a0Making Scents of Essential Oils<\/a>. Although these oils can be used in for a variety of things, such as a natural remedy for anxiety, allergies, nausea, and more, today we\u2019ll be addressing pain relief.
