Research shows that aromatherapy could have a powerful impact on your well-being, including joint/muscle pain. Some of the most recommended essential oils to fight inflammation and pain are: 1) Wintergreen – contains methyl salicylate, a compound that has similar properties to aspirin. 2) Cayenne pepper – contains capsaicin, an active ingredient with analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. 3) Peppermint – contains menthol and acts as a cooling agent. 4) Marjoram – has analgesic, antibacterial, and antispasmodic properties. These essential oils can be diluted and added to Kombo butter, which is very rich in myristoleic acid and has been found to reduce inflammation and soothe pain.
