Would juniper berry be a good addition to this? I actually would replace the lavender. My family is going to Disney and I’m hoping to take something with us for sore muscles after all of the walking around.
Juniper Berry is a great choice! You could also try Eucalyptus Dives in the mix as well. Have fun at Disneyland!
This would be good as a CBD oil blend, too! (Hint, hint…)
This post is right on time for me, I’m about to start training for my first marathon. I’m planning on making a bottle for myself, and also making gifts for my running buddies.
I was able to try this and the Sweet Marjoram combined with Frankincense Serrata and such a wonderful blend for pain balm! So effective and soothing. Thanks Plant Therapy!
Just ordered that olive lotion so will give this a try!
As soon as I get all the ingredients I’m gonna make this! It sounds great!
Just got the Olive Lotion, going to give this a try. Maybe a good alternate with the Muscle Aloe Jelly.
My husband loves to hike. I plan on making this for his achy legs.
You have encouraged me to take on my first DIY project. I have Sweet Marjoram on order along with some glass bottles. I’m so excited!
I just ordered Marjoram it should be here this week, I will try this recipe. Thanks!
Do you think it will work for the grow pain? I will change the Frank to the kids safe one and try it on my kids!!!
Great question! As long as you swap out the Frankincense for Carteri, this would be a great option for helping with your little one’s discomfort.
Thanks for sharing. This is definitely going to come in handy now that the weather is nice and I’m outside exercising, walking and working in the yard. Can’t wait to give this a try!
I don’t have all the ingredients, but I guess I can use the idea and add what I have to unscented lotion. Didn’t know marjoram is good for aches.
I made this today using some homemade unscented goat milk lotion and it turned out great!! I have a pulled bicep and I’m using it on that. I figured if it’s ok for your leg then it should be ok for your arm too.
Can’t wait to try this! Often have achy legs.
I made this blend right after watching the live video last week. I had been on my feet a lot that day so really needed something for my aching legs. It was amazing how quickly it worked! Thanks PT for all the excellent recipes you post on your blog!
Can i use frankinsense carteri instead of serrata?
Absolutely!
Just love all the recipes I can find on plant therapy .Always so helpful.
I don’t exactly have restless legs, but sometimes they ache so bad I can’t sleep. Am definitely going to try this recipe!
Guess I need some sweet marjoram!
Oh this will be perfect for my fiance before bed!!
This combination looks awesome. I can’t wait to make it!
Could you use any frank?
Yep, you can substitute any Frankincense you have on hand. If you want to learn more about the different varieties, you can check out this post.
This looks so easy and will help me so much! Always looking for a good leg cream for my aches!
Would this work on reliving restless legs symptoms?
This blend would be helpful for soothing the aches and the pulling, twitchy feelings often felt in the legs.
Can i use frankincense carteri to mKe this a kidsafe achy cream? Would it have the same effect?
You could swap out Serrata for Carteri to make it Kidsafe. It would still be a great choice for helping with discomfort 🙂
Thank you PT for another fabulous DIY blend. I made this and have been using it last few days and works great.
I am making this tonight- my legs often get achy in the evening. I use muscle jelly or a different blend that I made on my own mixed with carrier oil. I am excited to try this lotion!
I adore sweet matjoram, I wear it as perfume! Thanks for the recipe
Love sweet sweet marjoram. It’s one of my favorites can’t wait to try this for aches and pains
This looks soo easy! Never thought about purchasing the olive lotion before. Now it’s time to rethink.
My legs ache a lot, i just bought the Sweet Marjoram and will be making my own cream as soon as it gets here. Thank you for the wonderful DIY
I absolutely LOVE all of these DIY recipes! I cannot wait to get my sweet marjoram so that I can make this!
I am definitely going to try this recipe! I’ve been wondering about a good use for my Sweet Marjoram EO. This is right up my alley!
Oh do my legs ache. I have here oils. Going to mix these up!
Is this at all similar to the vein aid synergy?
