It does not only relieve but also activate the blood circulation. Massage into your tired muscles for a blood flow boost, help recovery, and feel more energized.

The gel works but it does take several treatments to make a noticeable difference. Bud Essential Oil is strong stuff in its pure form and will need to be diluted. These cheek and lip tints are unscented so you can add your own essential oils (I recommend a carrier oil such as coconut, almond, or jojoba to make safe for skin use).
Note: 3 to 5 drops of clove bud oil are added with approximately a tablespoon of carrier oil; that is your ideal admixture formula. This will ensure you get all the benefits but with no skin irritation. You can use this oil just as you would a massage oil once it has been diluted.[/ultimate_heading][vc_single_image image=”3770″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” title=”Benefits of Clove Bud Essential Oil”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Massage Application: Clove Bud Essential Oil” heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left”]Ready to give it a try?
