Homemade Muscle Cream

This green living walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.

I love a good workout, but sometimes a pulled or sore muscle can become very unpleasant. If you love the relief of muscle creams from the store then you will love this straightforward homemade muscle cream. The smell is memorable (thanks to the essential oils) and it works to naturally relieve muscle pains. Just rub a bit on the sore spot and relax a little bit.

What you will need:

• coconut oil
• essential oils: Valor, Panaway, Peppermint and Lemongrass
• glass jar

Homemade Muscle Cream

1. Whip 3/4 cup organic coconut oil until creamy (takes about 5-10 minutes)
2. Stir in 8 drops each of Valor, Panaway, Peppermint, and Lemongrass.
3. Whip until evenly combined and store in a glass jar in a cool and dark location.
4. Rub on muscles as needed.
