Easing Stiff Joints in the Hands with Young Living Essential Oils and Supplements

Easing Stiff Joints in the Hands with Young Living Essential Oils and Supplements
From personal experience, stiff joints in the hands can be a daily annoyance, impacting simple tasks like buttoning a shirt or turning a key...or more importantly, when your day job is working on a keyboard all day long!  Please note that stiff hands can occur in children as well as adults!  Fortunately, Young Living offers a range of essential oils and supplements that can help alleviate this discomfort and improve your quality of life.  

**Symptoms to Look out for**
-  Pain or stiffness in the joints may occur after waking up or by remaining in one position for too long.
-  Joints may appear red, tender, swollen, or feel warm.
-  Difficulty in moving or finishing daily tasks. 

**Essential Oils for Reducing Inflammation**

When it comes to reducing inflammation in the joints, certain Young Living essential oils have shown remarkable benefits:

1. **PanAway®**: This blend contains wintergreen, helichrysum, clove, and peppermint essential oils, known for their soothing properties. Applying PanAway directly to the affected areas can help ease the stiffness and discomfort associated with inflamed joints.  I use PanAway at night, rubbing it in over my knuckles on both hands!    Let me tell you it helps!

2. **Peppermint Essential Oil**: The cooling sensation of peppermint can provide quick relief from joint stiffness. Dilute a few drops with a carrier oil and massage them into your hands to alleviate inflammation and improve mobility.

3. **Frankincense Essential Oil**: Renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, frankincense can be used topically or diffused to reduce joint inflammation. Its calming aroma also helps to reduce stress, which can exacerbate joint discomfort.

**Complementary Supplements for Joint Health**

In addition to essential oils, Young Living offers supplements that can support joint health and reduce inflammation:

1. **NingXia Red®**: This superfruit blend is packed with antioxidants that can help combat inflammation throughout the body, including the joints. Regular consumption can contribute to overall wellness and joint mobility.  This is a must for your overall immune support!

2. **OmegaGize3®**: This supplement combines fish oil, vitamin D, and CoQ10 to support joint health. The omega-3 fatty acids in OmegaGize3 are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, making it an excellent choice for those with stiff joints.

3. **Sulfurzyme®**: Featuring MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and a proprietary enzyme blend, Sulfurzyme supports joint function and reduces inflammation. Incorporating this supplement into your daily routine can help manage joint stiffness over time.

**How to Use**

For the best results, combine these essential oils and supplements in your daily regimen. Start your day with a dose of NingXia Red and OmegaGize3, and use PanAway, peppermint, or frankincense essential oils as needed throughout the day. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before adding new supplements to your routine, especially if you have existing health conditions or are on medication.

By incorporating Young Living's essential oils and supplements into your life, you can take proactive steps toward easing the discomfort of stiff joints and enhancing your hand mobility. Discover the power of natural solutions with Young Living today!  As always, if your symptoms worsen, please consult with your healthcare provider.
