Essential Oil Treatments for Sprains

Torn ligament or sprain is brought about damage to a ligament and not exactly muscle damage. Ligaments are considered as strong tissue bands tying bones together and holding joints such as shoulder, elbow, neck, low back, knee, wrist and ankle. There’re sprains accompanying bleeding and bruising, causing a blue and black look. Ligament damage can be a stretching of the ligament, partial tears or total ligament tear. Sprains are brought about by accidents, oppositional muscle imbalance, stress or overuse. In case of injury immediately rest is required, including an elevation of the area for 72 hours.

Essential oils to help with sprain recovery include: Black Pepper, Roman Chamomile, Clove Bud, Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, Ginger – Fresh Root, Helichrysum Italicum, jasmine grandiflorum absolute, Lavender-High Altitude, Marjoram Sweet, Ravintsara (White Camphor), Thyme and Vetiver.
