By Michael

July 4, 2018


Dealing with sore muscles causing your lower back pain? Perhaps your muscles are tired from:

  1. Overuse
  2. Poor posture
  3. Stress
  4. Tension

one of these factors, or even all at once could be causing your lower back to feel rough and jagged.

At any expense, you are on the right path to soothing your muscle pain by checking us out!

As many of us already know, essential oils have been used for centuries to heal just about every kind of illness, physical or mental well being. You name it. But what’s so magical about it?

Like everything you encounter with healing or soothing a pain or injury, you must look at the core. When your lower back hurts what is usually the corporate? inflammation and a muscle imbalance. And like the core of these two, essential oils can replicate.

Harnessing the power of the plant can equip us with the healing powers they bring. More on that in our later readings.

It simply amazes me how many of us have been aware of essential oils, but we lack the understanding of how it can truly bring a more well-balanced and healthy life. It’s no coinsidience that these oils can end and prevent the use of harmful drugs.

With all the over the counter(OTC) prescription drugs, and Opioids at our disposal, it’s becoming increasingly worrying how many people are consuming them, That’s the first factor. Then there is this…

They are dangerous, and are proving to cause:

  • Addiction
  • Side effects
  • Overdose

Whether we like it or not, we are living in a world of quick fixes and temporary solutions. When something hurts or doesn’t feel right, we either:

  • Ignore it
  • Or reach for a painkiller

Over the counter solutions like NSAID’s and Acetaminophen just don’t cut it anymore. Unfortunately, they are synthetic and chemically created to have side effects at the expense of just masking your pain.


…Sounds hazardous to me, and quite like a double jeopardy. And don’t get me going on the addictions they bring.

But enough about painkillers and their negativity, now can be the moment you open up a new chapter in your life, and you fill it with all the memorabilia you can assure you’ll be having.

Versatility at last! Essential oils of every kind can be used in so many forms. from lotions to creams, bath oils, and salts to massage oils.

In this article, I will show you the best essential oils for lower back pain, and I will be guiding you through the tips on how you can effectively use oils to treat your sore and quite often painful muscles and joints. From one to the next, I will cover step-by-step, the following:

  1. How to avoid muscle and joint pain
  2. Importance of stretching
  3. The best essential oils
  4. How to use them
  5. What’ll work best for you

I’ll close with a conclusion, and you’ll be well on your way to a healthier you.

Want To Avoid Muscle And Joint Pain?

Wouldn’t we all be happy if we can jut be immune to feeling muscle pain? It would be living like a superstar athlete for years to come. As dreaming as that sounds, it’s not so realistic.

Unfortunately, At one point in our lives, we’re more likely to get muscle pain than we are in preventing it. Much of the problem at fault are our joints, as we either get older or experience a large injury, the cartilage wears and tears away, which places a constraint on your muscles.

But whichever problem it is you have, there is a way to make you better.  It’s my honor to get you ready my friend.

So the big question…

How can you avoid that nagging muscle pain that’s radiating to your lower back?

The best solution is to avoid overexertion. If you’re getting intense muscle soreness after a workout, and not the next day like you’re suppose to, that’s a sign you’re working yourself too hard. In other words, you might be hurting your body, and not in that “oooh, ahhh, I feel the burn” type of way.

A prevention action you can take to make sure that muscle pain doesn’t re-appear is by adding a massage oil before you head into your activities.

*Recipes beyond this point*

Ingredients:

  • 10 drops of pine oil
  • 10 drops of rosemary
  • 5 drops of black pepper
  • 5 drops of grapefruit
  • A 2 oz carrier oil – coconut, argan, sesame, sweet almond

Directions: 

  1. Combine all your gathered ingredients into a 2 oz glass bottle
  2. Apply, by rubbing gently throughout the muscle that needs to be worked the most
  3. Rub on for a good 10 minutes

Now that you know how to prevent muscle pain, let’s dive into a holistic approach.

Importance Of Stretching

Here at Remove Back Pain, we believe that the most powerful medicine for you is natural and holistic. We combine the astonishing effects of plants with the daily routine of strengthening and flexibility.

Whether you’ve stretched, or ran a marathon(hopefully not with a spinal problem), aches and pains just happen.  Its part of how our biological body works.

When this happens, inflammation doesn’t need an invitation to let itself in. That’s when its time to react fast to find ways to reduce the inflammation.  Stretching before and after an activity is the most beneficial thing you can do for your:

  • muscles
  • tendons
  • joints
  • ligaments

After a workout is when all the lactic acid build up around your muscles, causing your muscles to feel sore and hurt. As soon as you stretch your hips and hamstrings that lactic acid will decrease completely, and will allow blood to flow easily, increasing circulation, and letting the lactic acid run out.

The other important thing to note is that when you don’t stretch your hamstrings and hips after exercising, your muscles will tighten up, causing the pain to radiate up to your lower back and into your spine.

The Top 11 Essential Oils

Now that we spent some time thinking about strengthening and flexibility to our health and well-being, let’s take the next chunk of the article to talk about the positive effects of essential oils.

When it comes to essential oils, you’re not limited. There’s many that can heal your mind and body at the same time, while others that are most potent will deal with the chronic pain you’ve been dealing with. I have my top 11 essential oils to show for it.

How to Apply Essential Oils?

You’ve made it this far, but you still don’t know the one most important thing! How to use essential oils? Do you digest, use creams, or by oil for? I have the answer for you.

The best way to use essential oils is as massage oils. The reason so is that they are more potent and pure. The more pure, the more concentrated the oil will be. Have you thought about mixing them together?

Essential oils for pain relief should be diluted with carrier oils.

Carrier oils include:

  • Olive oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Castor oil
  • Sweet almond
  • Argan
  • Sesame oil
  • Avocado
  • Kernel
  • Apricot

I’ll tell you this right now, all are a equally a great choice, but I personally like coconut oil. I’ll go out of my way to purchase it because when its combined, and said and done, the smell is going to be phenomenal.

Now you’re ready to apply the oil to your skin. Before your directly apply onto your skin, do a skin patch test to see if it effects your skin. What I do is rub my mix of diluted oil of choice(peppermint oil with coconut oil, and sweet almond) on my forearm.

If after a second I don’t feel any irritation or discomfort within a 24-hour time frame, it’s a sign that you’re infused oil is safe and ready for use.

As of lately(2017-2019)Here’s one essential oil I’ve been using as of lately:

All it took me were a couple of drops of Eucalyptus before sleep and it made the most significant difference moving forward in my life.

I’ve been using Eucalyptus essential oil for a number of reasons as of lately, and they are:

  • For better respiration
  • To get the cold and cough I have been enduring
  • As an immune BOOST
  • Stress Relief
  • Muscle and Joint Stress relief

Now Eucalyptus is usually my go to solution for muscle and joint pain.

You only need to use a few drops of your essential oil of choice. Each and every oil is different, and so your dosage varies. But the standard practice is to add 4 to 10 drops of essential oil to every carrier oil. There’s something awesome to this approach…

You can use mix different oils together as long as you keep to these proportions. So have it, be free and show your creative side.

Here’s a video of me talking about essential oils and how you should use them:

On a side note: Use only the purest grades of carrier oils because they have therapeutic properties of their own, and activate the reaction(chemically) of the essential oils.

On Christmas(December 25th 2018), I participated in a game of white elephant. And what was funny was that I choose a gift with Eucalyptus + spearmint body wash and foam bath, and I thought to myself…

Hmm, I did need more essential oils as I was running low. Here’s what I received in that bag:

This item came from Bath and Body Works, and it smells just as great as it feels. Whether I’m sitting in the tub after a long day of work, or exercising, all I need is a couple drops and there’s an immediate affect to your respiration and feel to your muscles and joints.

Here’s a video that demonstrates how I go about using the bath and body works bottle

In the same Christmas bag, I also received an Ultra Shea Body Cream from Bath and Body Works.

And the significance of this is that it comes with Cocoa Butter and Coconut Oil which are going to be great carrier oils for:

  • My body wash
  • Eucalyptus essential oils
  • And many other essential oils

The awesome thing is that I don’t need the pure carrier oil itself, I can use this cream since it comes with water(aqua), and mix it in a little bit of water to disperse the compounds to extract, and my essential oils-preferably the pure essential oils will be ready to mix with. And I’ll show you how to mix your essential oils here in a bit.

Along with this, here are more essential oils that I’ve used in the past:

These are from Young Living. They come in a 0.17 fl oz.(5ml) bottle, and they are 100% Pure Essential Oils. As far as their smells go, very bright and flavorful.

doTerra Vs Young Living Essential Oils

The question I keep getting asked about Essential Oils are:

“Which are the best”

And most people are quick to blurt out either doTerra or Young Living. These are the two biggest names in the industry at the moment no doubt, but it’s also important to note that everyone has a different preference.

What I like will be different what you will like, and so I like to break it down like this:

  1. Are you a beginner?
  2. Have you had experience with essential oils?
  3. Have you tried other brands?

Believe it or not, I didn’t start in either one of them! As I showed you the picture above, and here it is again:

I went into AmbiEsents head first. After that, I tried other less priced brands, but the one unique quality that most Essential Oils have are that they are 100% pure. Young Living Essential Oils has been around for 20+ years now, establishing themselves as the bigger authority in the marketplace. But…

doTerra on the other hand is gaining traction fast.

Check out this video in where I give a comprehensive review:

Let’s break down each brands pros and cons:

Young Living pro’s

  • 100% purity will ensure that you heal in a shorter amount of time with less use
  • Very versatile use prevents it from being a one dimensional use. You can honestly use it as a rub, aromatherapy, food preparation, and body wash
  • Smells like a plant, which is where the aroma comes in with a nice therapeutic enhanced experience
  • Different flavors. You can get it in peppermint, lavender, orange, eucalyptus, etcc

Cons:

  • Smell is very narrow. Some people like to complain that the smell is just too strong and it should have a more candy like flavor
  • Pricy. Young Living can be high in price for someone just getting into experimenting with EO.

doTerra Pros:

  • Distillation extraction method is very safe and accurate. This ensures you’re meeting safety standards first, and its purity second
  • Smells “candy like”, which is easier to resemble a fruity smell
  • Different application methods which prevent you from only having to use it in one way. It can come in a rub, aromatherapy, food preparation, and bath

Cons:

  • Some people will complain that its smell is too broad and it shouldn’t smell like a fruity flavor, that the smell of the plant should be preserved
  • Not enough history behind it yet

The Best Alternative You Have To See To Believe

My Most Recent favorite way to use essential oil has to be in a cream format. It’s not very common that to get the most out of essential oils, it should come in a cream form right?

But I’ve discovered a new and better way to utilize that option with a product known as Penetrex.

Penetrex is an intensive concentrate for relief and recovery, and it can be very useful for you if you have more chronic muscle and joint pain. What it specializes so well in is that it has the #1 inflammation formulation, and that’s to credit its ingredients of:

  • Arnica
  • Vitamin B6
  • MSM
  • Flower Extract
  • Glucosamine
  • Shea Butter
  • Aloe Vera
  • Peppermint Oil
  • Frankincense Oil
  • Camphora
  • Boswellia Serata
  • Vitamin E
  • and so much more 100% natural ingredients!

As you can see, there are plenty of essential oils, and they’re mixed with Herbs, which gives it the edge over any other cream or essential oils alone can do.

After using Penetrex for over a year and a half, I’ve grown very attached to it for exercising to daily activities in and around the house. Here’s a video of me just getting home after a jog outside:

I’ve fallen so in love with it, that I’ve even written a review about it. If you’d like to see what I have to say about this topical, please go here.

You and I both know how effective peppermint oil is, but did you know how many ways it can be applied effectively?Maybe 1, 2, 3,  4 times? You’re about to be ASTOUNDED like I first was…

25 TIMES! Woahhh right? For the sake of my article I will give you top 3 ways it can be used for your muscle and joints for your lower back pain, but if you’d like me to share with you more or all, just shoot me a message. Let’s jump into it shall we?

1. To relieve muscle and joint pain

Procedure:

  1. Twist open the bottle dropper
  2. Squeeze the top to suck in the peppermint oil, enough for 2-3 drops
  3. Apply 2-3 drops into your area of concern(your lower back, hips, hamstrings, etc.)
  4. Rub for 3x in a day

Alternative approach:

Add 5-6 drops of peppermint essential oil to a luke warm water bath with Epsom salt

2. Respiratory care and sinus benefits

Are you having trouble with your breathing? Is your technique not “sound” like you want it to be? Well, my good old pal Peppermint oil has your back.

How to:

  1. Rub to your temples, your chest, and your back
  2. Use 2-3 drops

Alternative approach: 

Use a diffuser. I have my very own, and I’m more than happy to share it with you.

A diffuser like this one has many benefits. It will not only calm your mind, it will enhance your receptors in the brain, giving you a more restful night.

3. Increase energy and improve exercise performance

Who would of known peppermint oil could enhance your work rate?

How to:

Other blends.

  • A diffuser. Do you want to feel awake and alert? If so, then add 4-5 drops of your peppermint oil to a diffuser. This will attract an energizing scent that will fill your room. Don’t be surprised if your breathing were to improve! I have one at home that I use and it’s great for opening up my breathing to keep me mentally relaxed, and ready for yoga.
  • Try cooking with it. Cooking with peppermint oil is quite possibly the most natural way I’ve come across to this point in using it. It will give your dishes a minty punch.
  • Blend it up by smoothie or drinks. All you need is drop or two into your favorite smoothie, or glass of water to get a refreshing kick. Besides that, it’s great for fighting off stomach issues, and bacteria.
  • Dilute it with another oil of your choice. Like I stated before, you can infuse peppermint oil with other carrier oils. As a reminder, you can use coconut oil, sweet almond, and lavender.
  • Be ready to scrub your feet. Have you grown tired of all the cosmetics and potentially dangerous chemicals you soak onto your feet? I recommend you make your own, as I have done so.

Your Best Approach To Date

Can you rest easy with a slipped disc? I know I can’t.  The pain that comes with a restless lower back can now be controlled. And it does so with:

  • herniated disc
  • bulging disc
  • arthritis
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • sciatic nerve
  • spondyolythesis
  • spinal stenosis
  • muscle aches
  • joint pains

…And many more!

Here I’m going to reveal to you a massage blend that’s not only worked well for me, but for my friends and relatives.

In the meantime, before you check in with your doctor, there’s a formula to use ease your discomfort, and relieve your spine.

For the first three days after you slipped or ruptured your disc, you should be icing for 24-72 hours throughout your day. After three days you can apply massage oil to your area of concern. Be sure to apply it gently! Since it’s your disc we’re talking about here

==>If you need an all around long lasting cold pack, learn about the best one here<==

Ingredients:

  • 10 drops of peppermint
  • 10 drops of rosemary
  • 5 drops of ginger
  • 5 drops of eucalyptus
  • 2 tablespoons of carrier oil of your choice(argan, coconut, jojoba, grapeseed, macadamia, sweet almond, sesame)

You’ll want to apply it throughout the day, 3x a day works just fine.

TIP: The very first time I used this blend, I didn’t feel the best comfort right away, and so I had to use a hot and cold compressor with a cloth and hot and cold water, alternating with the two.

Thereafter, It alleviated discomfort and I added 2-3 drops of each basil and peppermint essential oil on the compressor. Follow it up with gently massaging your area.

Treatment for an acute back strain

What if you’re dealing with acute lower back pain muscle strain? You can follow the same recommendation from a slipped disc above.

NOTE: Anytime you have an acute muscle sprain or strain, the first thing to do is use ice therapy for the first 2-3 days. An ice bag is okay, but it doesn’t have the best effects as a cold gel pack.

Essentially, after using an ice bag for almost 1 year straight with acute, sub-acute and chronic lower back pain, I had to switch over, as it was not enough.

Treatment for Lumbago

For Lumbago, I’ve made a blend that is best applied with a massage and then mixed into a bath.

Ingredients:

  • 10 drops of ginger
  • 10 drops of lavender
  • 5 drops of marjoram
  • 5 drops of rosemary

Directions: 

  1. In a 5mL glass dropper bottle put all your essential oils together
  2. Shake it to blend

Alternative use:

  1. In a small bowl combine 2-3cups of cold water with 12 drops of your lumbago blend
  2. Start stirring your water and oils thoroughly
  3. Once ready, grab a cloth and soak it into your mixture
  4. Bring your wet cloth out, wring it out so it doesn’t drip
  5. Apply your cold cloth compress to your area of concern in your lower back
  6. Apply it once every two hours. Alternate a cold pack in between

To massage:

  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tsp(20 mL) of grapessed or sweet almond(carrier oil) with 8 drops of your lumbago blend
  2. Mix well together, and use your hands to massage over your back

In the bath:

  1. First, Fill your tub with luke warm water
  2. While your tub is filling, combine 1 tsp of milk and 4-7 drops of your lumbago blend in a bowl
  3. Once your tub is filled and the water is shut off, add the milk and oils inside
  4. Place your hands in the water and agitate it to disperse the oil/milk mix
  5. Let soak for 20-25 minutes
  6. Rub the floating droplets into your skin

For Sciatica

I believe we all know how irritating sciatic nerve pain is. It causes way too much discomfort. I’ve been feeling sciatic pain for the past 2 months, constantly on and off. My legs haven’t trembled so much as they have lately. Luckily, I can use the following blend for relief.

Ingredients:

  • 10 drops of rosemary
  • 10 drops of lavender
  • 12 drops of marjoram

Directions:

  1. In a 5mL glass dropper bottle put all your essential oils together
  2. Shake like a blender

TIP: If you’re sciatic pain is severe, do not massage for a long time. It should be limited. Usually, sever pain brings in inflammation, and with inflammation comes a cold compressor, which is recommended.

Ways to use your sciatica massage pain

For the bath:

  1. Fill up your tub with luke warm water
  2. While your tub is filling, combine 1 tsp of milk and add 4-7 drops of your sciatica blend in a bowl
  3. Once your tub is filled, Add your milk and oils to the mix
  4. Agitate the water so that it disperses your oil/milk mix
  5. Soak in the tub for 20 minutes
  6. Rub any floating droplets directly to your skin

For Massage:

  1. In a small bowel, combine 4 tsp(20mL) of grapeseed or calendula-infused oil and add 12 drops of your sciatic massage blend
  2. After inflammation has gone down, mix it thoroughly and massage it over your back

  • Essential oils are life changing. I’ve been using them for my respiratory health and for other non-pain related reasons. But now with these terrible back aches I need to consider using them. Painkillers are not going to be the option, and I want a remedy that can handle my pain without giving me any side effects. Which Essential oil would be the right place to begin?

    • Hi Greg,

      I’m glad that you see essential oils that way, they really are a blessing in disguise! I see that you’ve expanded from one aspect to the next, and that’s the most rewarding part to me…knowing how essential oils can help in any and every direction. If you need it for back pain, I would give you the green light to go ahead and do so 100%. I was in your shoes a couple years back, and Instead of asking, I took it upon myself to see which ones would work. The one I would start off with Eucalyptus oil. The reason I say that is because it will help calm down your inflammation and soothe any aches and pain you are having fast and really well. It’s simply the best for treating any muscle pains, and joint pains within the lower back. From there I would go with peppermint oil, then lavender. Peppermint oil is a great analgesic remedy that you usually will see in pain relief creams.
