Certain essential oils and more powerful than others, and lavender oil definitely stands out from the crowd. Lavender oil has a potent mixture of pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory substances that can quickly soothe the body and mind. If you mix a few drops of lavender oil into your bathwater, for example, it can be a wonderful remedy for bursitis. If your joints are aching and you can’t seem to find any relief, soak yourself in a lavender-infused bath for 20-30 minutes. You should feel the pain start to leave the joints and the inflammation will decrease. Do this once per day until your symptoms disappear.
