Ease and Soothe Massage oil

Key benefits:

• Immediate cooling/tension relief on contact (peppermint/menthol). PMC

• Soothing support for sore muscles and joints after exercise or long days. PubMed+1

• Calming aromatherapy to reduce stress and contribute to perceived comfort during massage. PMC

• Light, fast-absorbing carrier base for smooth massage and no greasy residue.

Why these essential oils?

• Peppermint (menthol) — Peppermint’s primary active, menthol, activates cold-sensing TRPM8 channels and has been shown in randomized trials and mechanistic studies to produce topical analgesia and a cooling, pain-reducing sensation. This is why peppermint is commonly used in topical pain formulations. PMC+1

• Eucalyptus (eucalyptol/1,8-cineole) — Eucalyptus essential oil and its main terpene (eucalyptol) show anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in preclinical models and clinical inhalation/topical studies, supporting its traditional use for muscle and joint discomfort. PubMed+1

• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) — Rosemary contains polyphenols (e.g., carnosic acid, carnosol) with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity in preclinical and mechanistic studies; topical/rub formulations containing rosemary components have been studied for inflammation and pain-related models. PMC+1

• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) — Clinical trials and systematic reviews indicate lavender aromatherapy and topical application can reduce pain and anxiety in a variety of settings (procedural, postoperative, obstetric) support analgesic activity in nociceptive pain models. Lavender’s calming scent also enhances relaxation during massage. PubMed+1

• Ginger (Zingiber officinale) — Ginger’s phenolic constituents (gingerols, shogaols) inhibit pro-inflammatory pathways (COX, LOX) and have clinical evidence for reducing pain and inflammation; topical ginger preparations have been tested for wound and incision pain and for musculoskeletal complaints.
