SAFE SOLUTIONS FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT

  • Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream
  • Cool Azul Sports Gel
  • CBD Muscle Rub and CBD Drops
  • OrthoEase and OrthoSport Massage Oils
  • Essential oils for comfort: Peppermint, Wintergreen, Copaiba, Deep Relief, PanAway, Cool Azul, M-Grain

Did you know that products like ‘Icy Hot' simply contain ingredients that make your skin tingle so you forget about the muscle pain beneath it? They don't actually help support the muscles, tendons and tissues that are in need of help. Plus they are filled with less than ideal ingredients like petrolatum, artificial colorants and fragrance. No thanks.

When you are in pain, you just don't feel good. It is almost impossible to function on any level with constant pain, and you don't have to suffer through it! Getting to the root cause of the pain is essential, but for times when you need some effective pain management, reach for one of our favorite YL products.

COOL AZUL PAIN RELIEF CREAM This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when paired with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Balm for those really tough pain days. Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream is great for pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain!

The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen and Peppermint with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways:

  • Methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints
  • Natural menthol found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect.

This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!

COOL AZUL SPORTS GEL Cool Azul Sports Gel is a non-sticky, aloe-based formula that helps cool and soothe tired muscles when combined with massage after physical activity. Penetrating menthol reaches deep to cool and soothe both muscles and skin, making it effective for soothing discomfort versus conventional sports gels!

With alternating warming and cooling sensations, an invigorating yet calming aroma, and moisturizing botanicals, Cool Azul Sports Gel is the perfect companion to have on hand for any physical activity at home or on the go!

CBD MUSCLE RUB CBD, or cannabidiol, is a plant-based compound found in hemp that has wonderful health properties on its own – but when you add essential oils to CBD you get an even more amazing product. The terpenes (a constituent of essential oils) found in essential oils can increase the overall efficacy of CBD, so you get a 1+1=3 scenario! You get the benefits of the essential oils, the benefits of the CBD, and the added boost of combining the two.

The CBD Muscle Rub is a crowd favorite for good reason! CBD Muscle Rub combines CBD, menthol, and essential oils such as Camphor, Clove, Peppermint, Wintergreen, and more. The result is a powerful, soothing balm that cools and comforts.

  • Camphor, Clove, Wintergreen, Peppermint: help to provide comfort for aches and pains, support the body's response to inflammation, soothe and promote healing
  • Helichrysum: calming and soothing to mind and body and helps promote natural regeneration of muscles and tendons after injury
  • Lemon, Tea Tree: cleansing and purifying and help to cool and soothe tired, sore, or injured muscles and joints
  • Arnica oil: helps boost circulation, speed up the healing process, reduce inflammatory pain and swelling

CBD DROPS These drops contain 0.0% THC that has been tested for heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides and is infused with essential oils. You can use them topically on the desired area, though many people choose to ingest them by placing the drops under the tongue.

  • Cinnamon: CBD infused with CInnamon Bark essential oil; warm and uplifting aroma is the perfect addition to your health and wellness routine
  • Citrus: CBD infused with Orange and Grapefruit essential oils; has a sweet, uplifting taste and aroma that will help you feel bright and reinvigorated; also high in limonene, a wonderful constituent for the immune system
  • Cool Mint: CBD infused with Spearmint and Peppermint essential oils for a cooling sensation

ORTHOEASE MASSAGE OIL This soothing combination of Peppermint, Juniper, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lemongrass, Marjoram, Thyme, Eucalyptus Radiata, Vetiver, Lavender, Clove, and Copaiba is amazing when rubbed onto the back, shoulders, legs and feet, especially after a long day! It not only helps support a tired body, but it helps to really soothe and protect the muscles after a workout. It has a gentle warming feeling that seeps into the skin and gives your muscles a little TLC. The formula is free of common allergens and contains carrier oils well-loved for their antioxidant and absorption properties, including jojoba, avocado, and meadowfoam oils.

  • Peppermint, Juniper, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus Radiata: wonderful oils for muscles and joints, these oils soothe and support.
  • Thyme, Marjoram, and Clove: warming to the skin and contain antioxidants that support healing and soothing.
  • Lavender, Vetiver and Copaiba: calming and soothing to the body and mind and help support the body's natural response to inflammation and injury.

ORTHOSPORT MASSAGE OIL Although similar to Ortho Ease  Massage Oil, Ortho Sport has a higher menthol and carvacrol because it contains more Oregano and Peppermint. This is what produces both a cooling and warming sensation that feels amazing on fatigued muscles. Whether you use it before or after a tough workout at the gym or on muscles that are feeling a little more tense than usual, Ortho Sport is the just your tired body needs!

  • Oregano: a deeply herbaceous and spicy oil that creates a comforting sensation to the skin.
  • Thyme, Rosemary: both members of the mint family, both oils have bold, herbal aromas that soothe sore muscles and create a sense of warmth on the skin.
  • Lemongrass, Ginger, and Peppermint: supporting natural healing and muscle health, peppermint also helps to cool things down and bring balance to your skin and muscles.
  • Elemi and Vetiver: soothing to the skin and muscles, support the body's natural response to inflammation and injury

ESSENTIAL OIL FAVORITES There are a lot of great essential oils that can be used to soothe and comfort in times of pain or discomfort. Try a few different oils alone and in combination to see which ones work best for you, and use OrthoEase or OrthoSport Massage oil as a carrier for more benefit!

  • Peppermint, Wintergreen, Copaiba: these single essential oils have properties that can help soothe pain and inflammation and promote regeneration and healing in the body. You can use them in any combination! Apply topically, ingest under the tongue or in a capsule with olive oil.
  • Deep Relief, PanAway, Cool Azul, M-Grain: These essential oils blends were created to help comfort the body in times of pain. M-Grain specifically is blended to soothe tension in the temples, head and neck. Apply these oils to areas of need and massage them well. They are also wonderful when added to epsom salts for a bath – the combination of warm water, magnesium and oils can work wonders for muscles, joints, and more!
