Rosemary essential oil

Rosemary has been studied recently for its effects on pain and inflammation.  Results indicate that whether inhaled or absorbed through the skin, rosemary can help on both measures. Rosemary seems especially suited to reduce muscle pain and soreness, so you can add it to your bath or your humidifier after workouts for more comfortable recovery.

A 2015 mouse study determined that mice took longer to respond to painful stimuli when they were treated with rosemary oil first. More studies are needed to determine the exact mechanism, but it is clear that rosemary can be an effective addition to a pain relief regimen, whether that is completely natural or in combination with OTC analgesics. The study did determine that rosemary does not react negatively with NSAIDS.
