DIY Essential Oil Cream For After A Workout

May 8, 2017

An all natural way to care for your body, this essential oil cream for after a workout is soothing and great to use after all sorts of activity.

This essential oil cream for after a workout is soothing and great to use any time you exert your muscles.

Have you ever wondered why your muscles feel tired after a workout?  Most people believe tired muscles are caused by lactic acid buildup.  But did you know that muscle fatigue experienced 24-48 hours after a workout (called delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS) is actually caused by micro-fractures, or tears, in the muscle fibers themselves?  These micro-fractures happen when you do an activity that your muscles aren’t used to doing, and/or you do an activity more strenuously than your body is used to.  So now you know, lactic acid isn’t to blame for that “can’t get up from the couch” feeling a day or two after an intense workout.  

I’m sure we’ve all experienced overworked muscles a time or two (or 1000 if you’re like me).  Lucky for you, this cream for after a workout will not only help keep your muscles happy, it will become part of your post-workout routine for continued muscle support!  

 

This cream for after a workout has no artificial ingredients and works like a charm!  It’s invigorating and works quickly, so you won’t be walking around like you have a stick up your booty the day after leg day.  

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup organic coconut oil
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 10 drops Marjoram essential oil
  • 10 drops Balsam Fir essential oil

Directions:

  • Add coconut oil to small mason jar.  Add essential oils and mix to combine well.  
  • Massage onto muscles after a workout or when necessary.

Not only is this cream great for muscles after a workout, it’s supports muscles after a long day of yard work, bike rides, and more!  

This essential oil cream is seriously hands down one of the best things I use for my muscles after a workout.  Stretching, foam rolling, then this cream and your muscles will be ready to hit the gym again soon!

    I have everything but the Marjoram oil. And it might just be me, but after a workout I actually kind of enjoy my muscles being a little sore. It makes me feel accomplished. 🙂

    Dang, I don’t have any marjoram! Maybe I need to add that to next month’s order… The Balsam Fir is my favorite oil 🙂

  5. Kelli {A Deeper Joy} says: May 10, 2017 at 7:39 am

    Same as Jenny and Paige…I just need the Marjoram! My order just went through today so I’ll get it next month. I need this! I use Deep Relief so often and have thought about getting the Cool Azul cream/gel.

Here’s the story: We’ve been looking at investment properties for awhile and kept getting outbid in this insane housing market here. So when this sweet home came available we jumped on it. It had the same owner for 56 years and was well taken care of. It needs some major updating, though (swipe to see some before photos), so we will be spending the next month or so working on it. 🏡
