Easy Homemade Muscle Rub With Essential Oils Recipe
Do you want a natural way to soothe sore muscles at home? This Easy Homemade Muscle Rub With Essential Oils Recipe is perfect.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
- 2 tablespoons shea butter
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
Melt Coconut Oil and Beeswax
- Place coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler. Heat slowly until fully melted, stirring occasionally.
Add Shea Butter
- Add shea butter to the melted mixture. Stir until completely smooth and combined.
Remove From Heat
- Take the bowl off the heat to avoid burning essential oils. Let mixture cool slightly.
Add Essential Oils
- Add peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils. Stir gently to combine evenly.
Pour Into Jar
- Carefully pour the mixture into a small glass jar. Use a spoon to spread evenly if needed.
Let Cool and Set
- Allow the rub to cool at room temperature for 1–2 hours. It will solidify into a creamy texture.
Seal and Label
- Close the jar with a lid. Label it with date and contents for easy use.
Use the Rub
- Apply a small amount to sore muscles. Massage gently until fully absorbed.
Notes
- Always use a double boiler to prevent overheating the oils.
- Adjust essential oils based on preference and sensitivity.
- Coconut oil keeps the rub soft; adjust beeswax for firmer texture.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
- Test a small patch of skin first to check for allergies.
