Great for muscle pain relief
By Mail Order Queen on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
First off.....I am not a fan of most essential oils. Due to my continuing chronic pain, my massage therapist recommended that I try this oil. I was hesitant at first, but she had a bottle on hand and said "please let's just try this and see how it works for you." After applying the oil (mixed with her massage lotion), I felt my back and neck muscles relaxing. Now, I won't tell you that it took all the pain away, but it took enough pain away so I felt like I could tackle a couple of simple errands on the way home. By the time I got home, I felt pretty good. I immediately went on Amazon and ordered bottle for use at home. I keep coconut oil in the house at all times, so I use coconut oil as the carrier oil, but you can use whatever you want for carrier oil or lotion. There is also a "roller ball" of this product on Amazon. I ordered that too, as I have significant pain that shoots across my suboccipital and occipital nerves. It's convenient and I can carry it with me wherever I go. The roller ball does not need a carrier oil or lotion. I go to the massage therapist once a month for chronic pain and she also recommended Dr Hoy's pain relief gel to use in association with this oil. I love being able to move my neck and shoulders after using these pain relief options (Muscle Relief and Dr Hoy's). The muscle relief smell reminds me of Christmas whenever I open the bottle and use some for pain relief. It does contain wintergreen, peppermint, clove bud and helichrysium. The box states that this can be used in a diffuser, or dilute with carrier oil and apply topically. The box also states that it is 100% pure essential oils, it is free of dilutents, toxic chemicals, fillers, preservatives, fragrances and any other synthetics. It is 100% vegan and there is absolutely no animal testing (this is all from the box). I have tried other brands, but always come back to Eden's Garden for the Muscle Relief; the others just don't seem to work as well. I highly recommend you try the small bottle first as oils can get expensive, but if it works for you, you won't regret the purchase and will purchase the larger bottle on your next order. I keep a bottle at home, a bottle with my massage therapist and take a bottle with me to physical therapy for use. *I should note that physical therapy uses a CBD based product and I don't get the same relief with their product.

Beware! Something is off!
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2017
I used this same oil once before in a cold and flu kit, and, like others here, I found it to be beneficial for colds and it had a great scent so I re-ordered. Well, now I advise you to beware! Edens Garden will not admit to this, but it seems something happened and the current blend of this is off. I just received my new bottle and it smells terrible, and gives me an instant headache, as another recent reviewer has also noted. You'll see that the other bad reviews of this product just happened recently, which makes me believe there must be a bad batch. I contacted customer service and they said it's just a natural variation in the product, and basically -- too bad -- but I still have a small amount of the other (good) bottle and it is vastly different. This batch smells wrong and makes me feel worse, not better. My biggest issue is with the "refund" they offer - it means you 1. forfeit your original shipping cost, and then 2. still have to pay to return this product. Since it's only $8, that basically means you're just eating the cost. I have purchased over 20 oils from this company, this year alone and have enjoyed them all except for this. I simply expected to be treated well in the event I ever had an issue because their marketing persona is all positive and helpful, but customer service is abrasive. They don't stand behind their products or even attempt to offer a return policy that benefits their customers. I simply would like a replacement free of charge, since it is so vastly different from previous batches I enjoyed. They responded without any apologies and as if I am in the wrong and as if it were a matter of disliking a particular scent. To me, it's a quality control issue for a wellness product. I will be purchasing oils from other companies who have better policies, and some sort of quality control.
