How to Use Rosemary Oil for Pain Relief

Apply topically for targeted, natural comfort:

💆‍♀️ Massage for Sore Muscles & Joints

  • Warm 3–5 drops in your palms.
  • Massage into affected areas—knees, lower back, neck, shoulders—with firm, circular motions.
  • Use after exercise or long periods of sitting to ease stiffness and improve mobility.

🌡️ Hot Compress for Deep Relief

  • Soak a clean cloth in rosemary oil.
  • Warm gently (do not scald), then apply to painful areas for 15–20 minutes.
  • Helps reduce inflammation and increase blood flow—especially helpful for sciatica or chronic joint pain.

🛁 Therapeutic Bath Soak

  • Add 1–2 tablespoons of rosemary oil to warm bathwater.
  • Soak for 20 minutes to relax tense muscles and rejuvenate tired limbs.
  • For added effect, combine with Epsom salts.
