Summer is close to coming to an end. We do hope you had a good one though.
With that in mind, we know Fall is around the corner and the weather will change too in many parts of the country. As colder air slowly moves in, our body will let us know that winter is not to far away.
Those with sore, painful joints due to injury or arthritis will start to feel more discomfort. You may find one of these massage blends submitted by Florence A. to be helpful.
She tells us these formulas have helped many folks with their Arthritis, Joint and Muscular pain. We hope they will work for you too. Please, Let us know.
There are plenty of other wonderful recipes to try too.

In the morning, wash feet gently with regular soap or with our Tea Tree Soap, dry and apply a few drops of Jojoba . Massage in, wipe off excess, and you can put on clean socks. (Ladies, if you need to wear nylons, use the cotton liners that are available.)
