Dilute the Oil: Essential oils are potent, so it’s important to dilute them with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil. Mix a few drops of the essential oil with a tablespoon of the carrier oil.
Apply to Affected Area: Gently massage the diluted oil onto the affected joint. You can do this several times a day, especially when you feel pain or notice swelling.
Use Consistently: For the best results, make this a regular part of your routine. Consistent application can help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
