Our brands Essential oils for muscles

Relieve muscle pain

Essential oils are a powerful natural remedy for relieving muscle pain. They are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components that help reduce pain and swelling. Certain essential oils, such as lavender, rosemary and peppermint, can be used to massage sore muscles directly, or added to a warm bath for immediate relief.

Their soothing properties can also help reduce stress, which can often be the underlying cause of muscle tension. Essential oils are safe and easy to use, so there's no reason not to include them in your muscle care routine. So, for a natural and effective solution to your muscle pain, try essential oils today!

Thanks to their high concentration of active ingredients, essential oils are highly effective in preventing injuries and contractures, and relieving pain and inflammation. They rapidly penetrate the epidermis before diffusing into the bloodstream to act very quickly on painful areas. Indispensable for all sports involving muscles, tendons and joints.

Muscle is a fleshy organ composed of 75% water, 15-20% protein (myoglobin, actin, myosin), 1% glycogen, 1% lipids and 1% mineral salts.

It is used for movement, stabilization of body position and thermogenesis.

In arthrology, a joint is the junction between one or more bones. Its function is to link the bones together, giving mobility to the skeleton.

There are several types of joint:

  • Synarthroses (fixed / fibrous joints)
  • amphiarthroses (semi-mobile / cartilaginous joints)
  • Diarthroses (mobile / synovial joints)

The difference between a tendon and a ligament is that a ligament is opposed to a tendon, which connects a bone to a muscle, whereas a ligament is made up of fibrous connective tissue.

To avoid muscle contracture, it's important to prepare the muscles for exertion:

  • In addition to a traditional muscle warm-up, perform a warm-up massage:
    Lie on your back and place a cushion under your knees to relieve pressure on the lumbar region.
  • Use very rapid friction and sliding pressure, tossing and turning the muscle to "wake it up".
  • Always start with the legs and work up towards the heart, to stimulate circulation too
  • Drink plenty of water, during and after exercise.

The aim of a warm-up massage is to prepare the muscle for exertion, notably by increasing skin temperature.

Discover our new range ofessential oils for massaging sensitive areas (back, shoulders, hips, knees, elbows...) to provide effective, natural muscle relief before and after exercise.

Mechanisms of Action of Essential Oils

Thanks to their high concentration of active ingredients, essential oils act rapidly after application:

  • Rapid penetration: They penetrate theepidermis to diffuse into the bloodstream and reach target tissues.
  • Anti-inflammatory action: they reduceoedema and local inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory mediators.
  • Muscle relaxation: They act on muscle fibers to limit contractures and improve relaxation.
  • Analgesic effect: certain essential oils, such as peppermint, have a local anesthetic effect by cooling the painful area.

Muscle preparation and repair: the role of essential oils

Exercise preparation

To avoid muscle contractures, it's essential to prepare muscles for physical activity. Warm-up massage, combined with essential oils, warms up and stimulates muscle tissue:

  • Massage techniques: Rapid friction, gliding pressure and muscle tossing.
  • Direction of massage: From the extremities towards the heart to promote blood circulation.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise to avoid cramps and help eliminate toxins.

Post-exercise recovery

After intense activity, post-exercise massage helps to :

  • Release accumulated muscletension.
  • Reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Promote blood circulation to eliminate toxins produced during exercise.
