The Best Essential Oils for Pain Relief

​

Black pepper, turmeric, camphor, cajeput, clove, wintergreen, and ginger are the best essential oils for pain relief. These 7 essential oils are combined with Welsh Clay to relieve aches and pains as a hot muscle rub.

​

Black Pepper

Black pepper has natural anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and warming properties that can help relieve the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism while supporting muscle recovery. A 2014 study found that black pepper significantly improved neck pain when applied daily for four weeks.

​

​   2. Turmeric

Turmeric is an essential oil that offers antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s widely used in creams and massage therapies to relieve rashes and itchiness while treating minor wounds. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric help it block enzymes and cytokines to provide natural pain relief and reduce muscle swelling.

​

​   3. Camphor

Camphor is an essential oil that contains several chemical components, including limonene, which gives it anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This natural essential oil eases joint stiffness and relieves inflammation, with research supporting its effectiveness in treating back pain.

 

   4. Cajeput

Unlike other essential oils on this list, cajeput is also known for its antiseptic properties, along with being anti-inflammatory. It can be used to treat minor skin wounds, while the cineole chemical within cajeput oil acts as a natural pain relief when applied directly to the skin.

   5. Clove

A 2017 study revealed that clove oil can significantly reduce skin irritation, including chronic itching. Its potential as natural pain relief was supported in a 2006 study that suggested it could be used as a topical anaesthetic with mild antiseptic properties, helping to soothe throbbing pains.  

 

   6. Wintergreen

Wintergreen essential oil acts as a natural cooling agent, creating a tingling sensation on the skin when applied topically. Methyl salicylate is the main active ingredient in wintergreen oil and is comparable to aspirin, relieving pain and tackling inflammation.

 

   7. Ginger

Ginger is an essential oil that’s been shown to have the potential to offer a natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting joint swelling to make the condition more manageable.
