DDR Prime Essential Oil
Essential Oils - Fantastic!
Frankincense Resin, Wild Orange Peel, Litsea Fruit, Thyme Leaf, Clove Bud, Summer Savory Plant, Niaouli Leaf, and Lemongrass Leaf essential oils.
We all have those days when our bodies remind us that life is not always perfect. Maybe it’s your knee or shoulder or hip that seems in constant pain. Maybe you are on the backside of a full workout and just ache all over. Getting up from a chair - OUCH! Getting out of your car - OUCH! Bending over to pet your dog - OUCH! Those aches and pains make for a very long day.
That’s why I am so excited to share my favorite GO TO essential oil when I’m having one of those aches and pains days: DDR Prime. It is a proprietary blend of essential oils that can be added to citrus drinks and tea or just applied directly to that painful spot (mixed with a carrier oil for those with sensitive skin) . Let’s look at some of the essential oils used in the DDR Prime blend to see why it works so well to soothe those aching joints and muscles. Let’s take a look inside the bottle!
Frankincense
Most of us think of Frankincense during the Christmas holidays. While it is a wonderful essential oil to diffuse during the holiday season, it is so much more, with an amazing and rich history. The story of Frankincense is the story of ancient cultures and pride and great satisfaction in the ability to create a thread between the past and the future. It’s healing qualities include anti-inflammatory components. When diffused it prompts feelings of well-being. Take a look!
Thyme
Perhaps you enjoy adding a sprinkle of thyme leaves to sauteed potatoes or carrots. Perhaps you enjoy adding a dash of thyme to that delicious pot roast dish simmering the oven. However you use thyme, it is front and center among the spices we enjoy. As an essential oil, thyme is rich in antioxidants. These compounds are essential for isolating harmful free radicals circulating in the body. Free radicals are the cells’ waste products. Free radicals are released as cells process food and can cause cell damage. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and thus boost our overall health.
Clove
Clove is a spice essential oil that is used in many different types of dental products to clean the teeth and gums, can provide a soothing feeling when used as a massage oil, and adds a wonderful zip to recipes. But, did you know that clove also is rich in antioxidants? Its health benefits seem to be endless. Clove is a source of beta-carotene (that rich brown color!), giving them that important antioxidant quality and providing a source of Vitamin A (essential for eye health). Compounds in cloves may work as an anti-inflammatory to address those persistent aches that come with arthritis. Cloves also are a source of manganese (an antioxidant) and potassium (heart health). Here are some surprising uses for clove essential oil.
Lemongrass
Lemongrass is native to countries in southeast Asia, including Sri Lanka and South India. It is used in a variety of Asian recipes. It also is used for brewing a delicious lemongrass tea. Lemongrass contains anti-inflammatory compounds and wards off free radicals. There is some evidence that lemongrass may have some infection fighting properties and boost oral health.
