Essential? Oils

So I was looking around on the internet the other day trying to find pain relief for my knee from skiing that could be applied topically.
A shit ton of essential oils popped up and it got me wondering... hmmm are these really what every hippy and vegan mom make them out to be?
I used an oil on my face recommended for my skin last year by this promoter guy and it really ruined my face (Picture provided fuck oregano oil btw) so I was just wondering if any of you actually use them and what the hell for, or if you think they are a scam.
Just wondering.

Scam central. Try a bengay patch or capsaicin cream. Go to a doc to see why your legs hurt to begin with unless you're skiing every day and just need rest.

DoTerra sells this stuff called deep blue, and a few other hippie oils. Anyway, that deep blue stuff works pretty well for my knee, hip, neck pain. No fucked up face required.

It really depends on a lot of factors, yet there are garbage products out there, but some are solid. look at the stuff that has been around and been sold for years. chances are they work really solid. however everyone reacts differently. I use Oil of oregano to ingest to keep me from getting sick(I know it's not the same thing). For this type of situation I would recommend tiger balm. You can also try this stuff. My dad used to use it a lot for his bad knees. http://www.lakotaherbs.com/ (not an essential oil, he used to take pills)

Not sure if any of this helps, but hope it does, and hopefully you find something that works for you.

well they do make a muscle rub that uses CBD. i would imagine it would be fairly effective, given how powerful cbd can be. might be able to find some if you have dispensaries where you live.

also +1 to the epsom salts.


some people like arnica for these reasons too, i personally havent had the best success with it though.

Essential oils are potent, you have to dilute them.

Essential oils can work wonders for certain things, but you don't want to use a lot, because they are extremely fucking potent. You should always, always, always dilute them in jojoba oil or something similar. Do your research, figure out what you want, and get at it.
