Homemade Pain Relieving Cream

[Katz25]

I follow this lady's blog all the time and she has wonderful information on her site. Anyway this came in my e-mail this morning, thought I'd share the recipe. I'm going to get the ingredients and try it, I have arthritis all over my body and my hands hurt so bad (like my mom). Anyway its not a cure, but it might give a little relief: She bought everything online at Amazon, I think. Anyway check out some of her things, great ideas for everything.

Homemade Pain Relieving Cream

 

Ingredients:

 

1/2 cup Coconut Oil<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">2 teaspoons Beeswax pellets<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">2 teaspoons Camphor crystals or 5 drops Camphor oil<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">2 teaspoons Menthol crystals or 5 drops Peppermint oil<br style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; ">5 drops Eucalyptus oil

 

Melt the coconut oil and beeswax together. You can do this in the microwave, in a double boiler, or what I did was set a small saucepan on the stove for a minute or two and then turned the burner off and added the coconut oil and beeswax. Stir until melted.

 

Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, then add the camphor crystals or oil, the menthol crystals or oil, and the eucalyptus oil.

 

Put in a container and allow to cool completely. When it is completely cooled it will be a solid rather than liquid…but the minute it hits your warm skin…it will liquify again. That’s what coconut oil does, which makes it perfect for massaging onto sore muscles and joints.

 

 

This amount of camphor, menthol and eucalyptus seems to be working for Kell…but you can increase the amount of each until you achieve the desired level of effectiveness for you without causing irritation.

Just purchase a jar of Vitamin E Cream at just about any grocery, dollar or drug store and add the oils to that, and mix. Voila! Done.

My husband has a lot of back pain - I am going to try this, it would be a nice alternative to the icy hot and bengay he almost constantly has on.
