Contains a high concentration of methyl salicylate, which is the main ingredient widely used in commercially made muscle balms specifically designed to soothe joint pain and arthritic discomfort. As such it can be used to target similar discomfort and may reduce joint pain. This oil has highly concentrated antiseptic properties. Applying this oil directly to the skin can help the body to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. However users should avoid applying directly to an open wound, as direct contact is likely to be toxic. Massaging into the skin can promote more efficient blood circulation in the area, both by stimulating circulation and by helping to clear out obstructions that might restrict blood flow or to prevent them from forming at all. In this way it can be used to reduce muscle stiffness and soreness. Dilute 2-3 drops with a 5 table spoon of carrier oil, such as coconut oil, and massage into the skin to produce a warm sensation. Wintergreen oil or Gaultheria oil do naturally reduce joint pains.
