Pain & Swelling Soothing Potion | Pain & Swelling Aromatherapy Blend 1
Safety first
Familiarize yourself with aromatherapy and do a skin patch test before using any essential oil. Learn what you need to know with The Ultimate Aromatherapy for Beginners Guide here
As always, consult a trusted healthcare practitioner before trying any essential oils.
See below for contraindications and age requirements before trying this blend.
Remember, children are given lower amounts - see dilution chart mentioned below and always mind age requirements of all oils.
Most oils/blends have a three week time limit of use. Because of this, I recommend having a waxing moon blend and a waning moon blend for every need. That’s why there are two blends for many of the same things.
Most oils/blends are best at a 2% dilution, but some oils are better at much less like peppermint, pepper, and cardamom. (Half of the adult dilution or less for children, see dilution info below).
Oils/Blends are typically meant to be used up to 3 times a day unless otherwise stated.
If an oil occurs throughout multiple blends you are currently using, this needs to be taken into account in terms of dosing frequency and length of time.
See all specific info for every oil of every recipe before using.
Never take essential oils internally.
When using diluted, prepared, aromatherapy blends, a few drops on the wrist or forearm is typically ideal. Use lower dilutions in perfumes and body lotions and any other product intended to be used in a high amount such as a lotion or perfume or room spray.
The Blend
1 drop of Roman Chamomile (C. nobile)
1 drop of Peppermint (M. x piperita)
1 drop of Lemon ( C. Limon)
Recommended Dosage & Length of Usage
Can use up to 3 times daily for three weeks, then cease for three weeks. If using continually, I recommend having a blend for waxing moon phases and a blend for waning moon phases to avoid toxicity.

Cautions & Contraindications
A note about toxicity: toxic constituent refers to the constituent that can become a toxin in your body if used longer than the recommended time or used more than the recommended dosage.
Roman Chamomile - The toxic constituent is pinocarvone. Avoid chamomile in the first trimester of pregnancy. For external applications, apply a skin
patch test, because it may cause dermatitis in some individuals. If a client is allergic to Ragweed or other members of the Asteraceae family take extra precautions.
Peppermint - Toxic constituents are menthol, menthone, piperitone, and thymol. According to Tisserand, it is necessary to avoid using the oil in the first three months of pregnancy or while nursing. avoid use with children younger than two years as it can cause a frightening cold then hot sensation if the dilution is not low enough. Avoid with homeopathics. Topically for adults, use for a limited time only (i.e., no more than three consecutive weeks) and keep at a 2% or less dilution. Do not use it directly on damaged or sensitive skin without a skin patch test. Do not get it in your eyes. If you do wipe your eye by mistake after handling peppermint M. ×piperita, flush copiously with cold water or milk. It will not cause permanent damage.
Lemon - The toxic constituent is furocoumarin, which can cause irritation and sensitization, and may be phototoxic. In an expressed oil there is generally a higher amount of furocoumarins than in a distilled oil. In the European Union the concentration of expressed lemon oil in a finished cosmetic product must fall below the permitted level of one part per million (ppm989). Use in moderation and stay out of direct sunlight when expressed lemon oil is used on the skin.

Crystal Field Architecture — Permanent Oil Submersion (optional)
Intent of the Blend
Energetic support for relieving pain and reducing swelling by calming internal tension, soothing energetic pressure, and supporting cool, regulated release of discomfort without agitation. This blend uses essential oils that together address both the sensation of pain and the experience of inflammation.
Six Crystal Choices for This Blend
1. Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz grounds and releases excess energetic tension, helping to draw discomfort out of the system and support the body in letting go of tight, charged patterns.
2. Grey Agate
Grey Agate brings nervous-system composure, calming reactive tension that can make pain and swelling feel sharper or more overwhelming, and helping the field relax into relief.
3. Amethyst
Amethyst provides mental regulation and perceptual calm, reducing anxiety or fixation around sensation so the nervous system doesn’t amplify the experience of pain.
4. Moss Agate
Moss Agate supports natural rhythm and restorative flow, encouraging the energy field to shift out of stuck intensity and into ease and progression.
5. Green Agate
Green Agate reinforces balanced circulation and steady regulation, helping systemic energy settle into a calm baseline during and after relief from swelling.
6. Ocean Jasper
Ocean Jasper supports emotional circulation and parasympathetic ease, helping stored emotional tension to unwind rather than harden into constrictive patterns that exacerbate discomfort.
