A cool and minty fragrance with a lovely warming effect, wintergreen essential oil will help to relieve muscle aches and pain. This is a perfect solution this time of the year, while heading back to your workout schedule. It is a lovely combination to use at home for self massage by combining it with juniper and birch oils. Be sure to use a bland carrier oil when using an active essential oil. Skin Deep uses rice bran oil and about 12-20 drops of the active wintergreen essential oil per 1/2 cup of carrier oil.
