If you are dealing with inflammation, swelling and pain we suggest buying the oils from a trusted manufacturer that contain one or more of the above ingredients. For safety reasons you should not mix your own oils together. When mixing oils you need to also use a carrier oil, which is an oil that helps carry the oil onto the skin and also helps dilute them. Some Essentials oils you can ingest and others you cannot. You can buy all these oils on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/s?k=essential+oils&ref=nb_sb_noss_1.

Sometimes swelling can be caused by life threatening issues so it is best to make sure you are okay and check with your doctor to determine the cause of the swelling and to choose the best path to reduce the swelling.
