One study found that Clove oil eased arthritis in mice. But it didn’t just provide relief by lowering the amount of inflammatory cytokines. This compound actually prevented inflammatory substances from entering joints. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23037170
So not only does it reduce the inflammation you already have… It keeps new inflammatory cytokines from popping up in your joints.
I have found that a few drops of clove oil followed by a few drops of peppermint oil rubbed in, will nicely handle the pain in the muscles and joints. Also, more importantly, if used daily will clear it up over time.
