Digest Number 1607 - aching muscle oil

[Guest guest]

Morning Regina,

 

I read the ingredients with a bit of amusement.

 

1. You don't need camphor if you use Rosemary officianalis - camphor (or CT1)

2. they don't tell you what eucalyptus they were using - I would suggest

Citriadora.

3. Lemon and/or orange aren't really needed for this other than smell.

 

So, I would suggest you use Peppermint as your dominant oil - say 50%, then 30%

Rosemary CT1 and 20% Citriadora. I, personally, would use a few other oils as

well.

 

Your carrier oil could be anything you'd like. I have a preference for

cold-pressed Macadamia oil, but that is my preference, you might prefer another

oil.

 

One day I'll remember to list some tiger balm contents. I wouldn't touch most

of the ingredients at all, but then I'm an aromatherapist.

Sunjing Pain Relief oil

 

Has anyone here used the product called Sunjing? It's used for muscle

aches and pains.

My sister says it works great but is expensive. She was wondering if I

could duplicate the formula for her.

The ingredients are:

3% Camphor oil

Peppermint oil

Rosemary oil

Eucalyptus oil

Lemon oil

Orange oil

 

There was no base oil listed in the ingredients list.

It is being sold locally in a 1 oz. bottle for $40.00.

She said you only use a very tiny amount at the center of the pain and rub

it in well. The pain goes away almost instantly.

Can anyone help me duplicate this? She says it smells minty with a

Eucalyptus undertone.

 

I've looked on the internet and have fond places to buy it but haven't

come across any formulation to replicate it yet. I'll keep looking tho.

 

Thank you for any help.
