MASSAGE OIL FOR MUSCULAR−SKELETAL PAIN. (especially good for lower back pain.)
15 ml (1 tablespoon) Sweet almond
4 drops Wintergreen
4 drops Cardamom
4 drops Ginger

Mix together well and use to massage any area that gets muscle pain. I have a birth defect in my spine that causes me a lot of lower back pain.. This recipe works really well to ease the pain, & it gives me more mobility. Massage in thoroughly, but gently.
