Muscle Pain

My son started his basketball season two weeks ago. He is a freshman in High School and has been playing basketball since second grade. Now that the "real" season has started, they are practicing very hard for two hours a day. Yesterday, he was complaining that he had a lot of leg cramps in his calves and in his thighs. I pulled out my essential oil handbook and read that Cypress, Marjoram, and Lavender were good for charlie horses. I had my son rub these oils into his sore areas, and then we also used Aroma Seis and finished it off with Peppermint. I use Aroma Seis a lot for my back pain; this oil blend works well with me. I always apply Peppermint on muscle problems because it helps the other oils penetrate deeply. I also love the smell and feel of Peppermint. I will have my son apply Aroma Seis and Peppermint on his sore muscle areas every night before he goes to bed until the soreness goes away.
