ARTHRITIS, LOWER BACKACHE, VARICOSE VEINS
OIL REMEDY
100ml Olive Oil
5 Bay Leaves “from supermarket”
20 drops of Pure Peppermint Oil “essential oil”
20 drops of Pure Lavender Oil “essential oil”
1 jar with a tight lid “a dark jar if possible but not necessary”
METHOD
· Heat the olive oil over a very low heat and add the bay leaves. Let the oil and bay leaves simmer for about 25-30 minutes or less if the oil starts to smoke. Try and not let the oil and bay leaves smoke by keeping a close eye on the oil.
· Once the oil is ready, remove the bay leaves from the oils and let cool down. Once the oil has cooled down pour into your jar and add the essential oils.
· Store the oil in a dark cupboard so it is away from the sunlight.
Note: This remedy is not a cure only a pain relief when the pain starts it become too much. Also for those that are pregnant its best not to use peppermint essential oil. I would advise you to get professional advice on what essential oils can be used during pregnancy.
This remedy works nicely on these particular disorders. It is also helpful for muscular aches and pains.
I made this oil up for one of my friends which had a bad case of varicose veins. He was impressed with the oil and said it did help reduce the pain when he rubbed it on his leg.
This same oil I gave to one of my family member a few years ago to rub on his lower arm. He suffers from a muscle disorder which causes him a great deal of pain when it plays up.
He also said it did give him some relief when he rubbed it into the muscle. However, he was reluctant at first and called my remedies hippy crap. I had to laugh when he couldn’t find fault with this remedy.http://hubpages.com/hub/i-n
