Relieving Inflammation

Inflammation is one of the greatest sources of pain and lack of well-being. It is created by your body's reaction to something going awry with your immune system.

Inflammation isn't only painful it can create serious health issues such as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. If you are dealing with chronic inflammation or even short term inflammation, essential oils can help calm your immune system response and ease the swelling and discomfort.

As part of your wellness program, you are hopefully exercising and engaging in sports or other physical activities. Undoubtedly, you will encounter times when your muscles, tendons and joints become sore and inflamed.
