Let’s first remember that tight, rigid muscles can be caused by:
If you’re prone to muscle tension (cramps, spasms…), it’s important, in general, to:
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use (topical, oral, inhalation …) of essential oils extracted from plants.
Plant-based oils have been used for thousands of years in India, China, Egypt, and by Greek and Roman civilizations.
In ancient times then, fragrant plant oils were popular for helping to relax overstretched muscles thanks to their anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.
Historical use of therapeutic massage with essential oils for muscle relief is well-documented. The practice became popular again in the 20th century with the revival of aromatherapy.
A word of advice: it’s important to exercise caution when using essential oils, (topically and even more so, orally) as they are very highly concentrated. Most essential oils for topical use are therefore diluted in a carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba, or coconut oil …) to prevent any irritation. Be sure to seek professional advice if you need to.
Essential oil of lavender(Lavandula angustifolia) is known for its calming, relaxing properties.
It is widely used diluted in topical applications, for relaxing tight muscles and relieving mild pain (1).
The famous essential oil of peppermint (Mentha piperita) is popular for its refreshing and potentially analgesic effects.
It can be applied topically, always diluted, to ease muscle pain and tension(2).
Essential oil of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) is traditionally recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties.
It is widely used, diluted, in topical applications, for reducing muscle aches (3).
Essential oil of American wintergreen or checkerberry (Gaultheria procumbens) contains methyl salicylate, an aspirin-like chemical compound.
It is commonly used in topical applications for painful joints and muscles.
Essential oil of rosemary(Rosmarinus officinalis) is thought to have powerful anti-inflammatory and stimulant properties.
Some people use it topically to reduce inflammation and muscle pain (4).
Certain essential oils can be taken orally to loosen the muscles and promote relaxation more generally.
Some supplements in capsule form thus contain specific, pro-relaxation essential oils in forms and amounts suitable for ingestion. Ideally, they contain:
You can find these various essential oils in synergistic formulations for oral use (such as Organic Relaxing Oil Blend capsules).
There are other natural substances to be taken orally that are likely to help relieve muscle problems.
Vitamin D (which supports normal muscle function), ginger (a known anti-inflammatory) and MSM (a sulfur-containing compound naturally present in our joints and muscles) are all being studied for their potential muscle-relaxing effects.
Some synergistic muscle relaxation formulations also combine, for example, magnesium, which supports normal muscle function, with soothing plant extracts like valerian, lemon balm, passionflower and camomile (one such example is Muscle Relaxing Formula, made with organic ingredients).

Supersmart is a reliable company. I know my product will arrive, and I am always charged exactly as ordered. Supersmart carries high-quality supplements. My last package, the Mastic Gum package is badly deformed from the shipment, but I checked inside and the content is preserved in tact.
