Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender is known for its bright purple flowers and soothing fragrance. As a result, it has been used as a note for perfumes and essential oils. In addition, many researchers have tested lavender’s ability to relax the mind and calm the nerves, making it helpful in treating insomnia, depression, anxiety, panic attack, and restlessness. But lavender is more than just an aromatic scent. Recent studies have shown the potential of lavender in treating high blood pressure, asthma, and chronic pain.
Studies also reveal the anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties of lavender oil extract. Because of this, lavender essential oil became popular in treating muscle and heel pain. To do this, try diluting a few drops of lavender oil into a carrier oil, and massage the feet and heels. In addition, preparing a foot bath using warm water, salt, and lavender essential oil can also help ease heel pain.
Some essential oils are proven effective in soothing heel pain if lavender is unavailable. Try using rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, and frankincense oil extracts. These essential oils all have excellent anti-inflammatory properties.
