How can I carry out my blend?

Good to know: essential oils can be a real ally in the fight against these everyday aches and pains, both in prevention and relief. Among these, you may have heard of wintergreen. Remarkably effective, there are a few precautions to be taken when using it: it must be diluted 50% in a vegetable oil, as it can be irritating to the skin, and is not recommended for people taking blood thinners or who are allergic to aspirin.

Additional tips for caring for your back with essential oils


Essential oils can be a great help in caring for your back.
