Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Each night I would go to bed and roll on my stomach. Then the bottom of my feet would cramp up immediately. I tried different oils on the bottom of my feet, without relief.
I found the inside of my lower legs along the shin bone were very tender, especially close to the knee. If I put deep pressure on the tender points close to the knee for 5-10 seconds, it would relieve the cramps somewhat.
I began to put Ortho Ease along the inner shin and tender muscles close to the shin. Relief was within a minute or two and lasted longer.
Now, I go to bed many nights without cramps, before needing to use Ortho Ease again.

| 3. | Associated topics: muscle-pain,muscles — "[T]he effect of essential oils on skeletal and smooth muscle...: The first type of effect on skeletal muscle involved a contracture and inhibition of the twitch response to nerve stimulation shown by a sample of clary sage, dill, fennel, frankincense, and nutmeg; ...lavender reduced the twitch response alone." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: muscle-pain,muscles — "Herbalists treat skin ailments, such as fungal infections (like candidiasis), wounds, eczema, and acne, with lavender oil. It is also used in a healing bath for joint and muscle pain. One study evaluating treatments for children with eczema found [that] it was therapeutic touch from the mother that improved symptoms; in other words, massage with and without essential oils (including lavender) both reduced the dry, scaly skin lesions. Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery." | Link |
