How To Deal With Neck, Wrist And Shoulder Pain At Work

Those who suffer from neck, wrist or shoulder pain know that its really frustrating because it can also cause headache, backache and limb discomfort.  This symptom can occur due to various factors: humidity, intense physical activity, stress and tension as well as bad posture. The frequently used drugs are pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. Some of the well-known essential oils for these kinds of pains are:

Arnica Montana

It is used infused in other oil rather than in the essential oil form so it is more effective than other ointments. It consists of anti-inflammatory properties and it is used also in case of trauma and sprain.

Chamomile

The two varieties of chamomile essential oil are German and Roman Chamomile. The latter has sedative, relaxing and anti-stress properties. It is effective in relieving neck pain occurring due to muscular tension.

Lavender

It has spasmolytic and sedative properties. It is also recommended as a muscle relaxant.

Rosemary

This popular herb is used to relieve rheumatic and arthrosic diseases. If used with other essential oils, it is useful in cases of inflammation.

Peppermint oil

It consists of menthol, which has a cooling effect on sore and achy muscles to relieve pain. It also has analgesic, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.
