Description
Jojoba is not actually an oil, even though it is commonly referred to as such. It is actually a wax pressed from the seeds of the wild evergreen shrub Simmondsia sinensis or chinensis. It is very close in chemical structure to our skin’s natural sebum, which makes it the perfect base for this blend.
Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) is a totally relaxing, yet uplifting oil and in addition has skin penetrating qualities, thanks to its high percentage of d-limonene, that help all the others in the blend have more effective skin penetration.
Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata var. genuina) has a strong sedative effect and alleviates muscular tension (and of course, the aroma is divine!)
Sweet Marjoram (Origanum marjorama)has a good amount of terpinen-4-ol, which is a great smooth muscle relaxant – perfect for calming those spasms.
Put together, this blend really is awfully good. Check out the reviews below.
We also have two other blends you may be interested in – a lovely Soothing blend, designed for arthritic type pain, usually accompanied by inflammation. This is incredibly soothing.
And also a Digestive blend to help with those bloated feelings when you’ve overeaten or eaten something that doesn’t agree with you.
Just message me if you’d like either of these.
Marie M –
I used to have a problem with restless legs. Rarely did a month go by without at least one “attack” of it. Sometimes it would occur several nights in a row. It was difficult to sleep for it. I have now been using the lotion each night for over a year and have not had a real problem with it for a very long time. Occasionally I feel that it is going to start, but then it fades away. I dab one finger of each hand onto the surface of the lotion, then massage one calf at a time. It is very quick. It uses very little of the lotion each time so it really lasts. I would not be without it.
