Herbal Pain Relief Oils: How to Massage for Comfort

After a long day of sitting, standing or travelling, our joints and muscles often ask for attention. Massage with a herbal oil is a time-honoured way of giving it.

The technique

• Warm a small amount of oil between your palms.
• Use long, gentle strokes towards the heart.
• Make slow circles around joints such as knees, elbows and shoulders.
• Increase pressure gradually, never to the point of pain.

When to use it

An evening massage followed by a warm shower is a lovely way to unwind. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and consult a doctor for persistent pain.

Ultra Ortho Pain Relief Oil and Ultra Pain Control Oil are blends of traditional herbal oils made for this ritual.
