Aromatherapy Cold Compress for Muscular Strain
600ml cold or tepid water
2 drops rosemary essential oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
Pour the water into a bowl, add the essential oil and swish around to disperse. Soak a
piece of clean, folded cotton fabric in the water, wring out the excess and apply to the
affected part. As soon as it warms to body temperature, re-apply. Repeat two or three
times.
Aromatic Salt Bath for Muscular Strain
Once the swelling has subsided (after treatment with cold compresses), aromatic salt baths
will relax taut muscles and facilitate healing of damaged tissue.
200g Dead Sea Mineral Salts
5 drops rosemary essential oil
2 drops geranium essential oil
1 drop ginger essential oil
Add the Dead Sea salts to the bath while the water is still running. After the bath has been
filled, add the essential oils and swish around to disperse. Take this aromatic salt bath once
a day for about a week.
