How to make Sore Joint Massage Oil
Making a sore joint massage oil is very simple and takes just a few minutes.
Before you get started, gather your oils that you’re going to use, your favorite carrier oil, and a clean, empty 4 oz dropper bottle.
First, add all the oils to a clean, empty 10ml glass roller bottle.
Then, top off the roller bottle with your favorite carrier oil.
Pop on the roller top and lid and gently shake to mix everything together.
This blend is created for a healthy adult using a 10% dilution. Adjust the amount of oils you are using based on the following dilution chart.
