Puressentiel Muscles & Joints Roll-On – 75ml

Description

Essential-oil rubs divide people: some love the smell and the ritual, others find them too strong. If you’re in the first group, the Puressentiel Muscles & Joints Roll-On blends 14 essential oils into a 75 ml roll-on with a massage ball, so the application itself becomes a mini massage.

The oils

Puressentiel calls it a 100% Natura Formula with 14 pure essential oils, including wintergreen, peppermint and rosemary cineole. It’s sold as a medical device and is suitable for vegans. In Puressentiel’s own user survey, most people reported calming relief and easier movement after use.

The roller ball

The ball gives a pressing, rubbing effect as you glide it over a sore point, so you can work one spot at a time. The texture absorbs quickly and isn’t greasy or sticky. Shake well, then apply up to three times a day to areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, calves or feet.

Important: who should not use it

• Children under 7
• Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding
• People with a history of convulsions or epilepsy
• Anyone allergic to salicylates (wintergreen contains them)

If you’re taking other medicines, or want to use it on an older child, ask a pharmacist or doctor first. Keep it away from your eyes and broken skin, and read the label and warnings in the pack before use. Concentrated essential oils can irritate sensitive skin, so try a small area first.

Keep perspective

A roll-on is comfort for everyday aches. Joint pain with heat and swelling, pain that wakes you at night, or aches with fever or weight loss should be checked by a doctor.
