doTERRA Deep Blue Essential Oil Soothing Blend - 5 ml

Best topical pain ointment I ever used

I have used this product for over five years. Very effective for reducing pain and skin irritations. Because it is applied in small quantities, it is cost-effective.

I've used this oil for 6+ years and have bought it for everyone I know with any type of pain--arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle soreness, overextended tendon, swollen ankles, you name it. My love for this product began when I was married to someone who did not know that he had a fracture in his knee. He got so used to the pain that he thought it was just a normal part of life, and he walked, surfed, and did everything on a knee with a small hairline fracture in it. Of course, at the end of each day, he could barely stand, and I wanted to help him relieve the pain somehow. I discovered this oil, and I'd rub it on his knee each evening when his knee gave him extra trouble. Eventually, his doctor discovered the fracture (after 6 years of debilitating knee pain), and he had the fracture filled/the bone fused, but I still remember how, after using this oil, THE PAIN OF A BROKEN BONE WENT AWAY. Years later, my mother was diagnosed with arthritis. Some days, it was so bad that she had trouble picking up/holding the teapot as she tried to pour herself tea. She used all kinds of pain meds, went to the doctor regularly to find some kind of relief, and I've seen her cry many times because of how intense the pain got and how helpless she felt as a result. Well, one time, I gave her one of these bottles. For a year, she didn't use it, thinking how is some essential oil going to help her if the strongest pain pills prescribed by the doctor aren't helping? We were once talking on the phone and she mentioned how today was a bad day for her hands and she could hardly use them. I finally managed to persuade her to try the oil. She called me back 10 mins later CRYING TEARS OF JOY BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY RELIEF SHE'D FELT IN WEEKS. It's insane how well it works. I can't recommend it enough. NOTE: I always recommend that everyone start using it with a carrier oil, just in case the oil stings, burns slightly, or irritates the skin. It can also feel a bit tingly--a pleasant feeling for me, but not for everyone. For my mother, I mix it with any oil we have handy. Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil. You can find your favorite combination. I usually mix a few drops of the carrier oil and a few drops of the doterra, either in a small receptacle such as a bottle cap or directly onto the skin. If you feel you need more relief, add more of the doterra oil and less of the carrier oil, if it's too tingly, do the opposite. Adjust accordingly. You can also work your up to more doterra/less carrier oil as you get used to the feeling. I do not use a carrier oil any longer on myself, but that's because I've tested it on my skin and found no irritating effects. Again, if you're thinking about trying it, DEFINITELY TRY IT. Just make sure you actually use it and don't just let it sit there while you wonder how could something so natural and simple actually work. Well, it works. See for yourself.

Excellent product! Had issues with one bottle leaking and the customer service with wonderful and sent out a replacement.

I really felt the pain lesson when we used this role on

All DoTERRA products are guaranteed to be 100% effective and natural. The best in natural medicine or for the environment. Whatever you need, it's the best there is on the market.

Had a massage and the masseur used this on me. It has a really nice warming effect that lasts for a moderate amount of time, and was pleasant on my aching muscles. The smell fades fairly fast in comparison to others. I had to find this and get some for home use. I've used it straight and diluted a bit with coconut oil, both worked fine and I didn't have any reaction or unpleasantness using neat on my sensitive skin. Having said all of that, if you are purchasing to use as a muscle rub, I recommend doTERRA's deep blue rub over the oil. It's already in a thicker lotion formula which is far more convenient for using as a rub, and it seems to last longer, IMO, than the oil even in it's neat form. I've not yet tried doTERRA's suggestion from the label on their rub to use the oil first and then apply the rub, but will give that a go and see if it's even more intense.

This stuff works great, worth the money
