Rosemary oil

Rosemary oil has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties you can benefit from by massaging the oil on the affected area.

Geranium

Geranium is used to improve circulation, soothe and stimulate nervous system functions, and contract body tissue, acting as an astringent to give you a better, more toned look.

Thyme Leafed Gratiola
