Dealing with not-so-nice party favors from pregnancy/delivery? This essential oil blend will be your best friend!

Hemorrhoids aren’t exactly dinner table conversation… but relief matters 😅

This little roller blend is one of those simple things that just works because it targets the real issues behind hemorrhoids - inflammation, circulation, pain and tissue repair.

Why these oils make sense (not just folklore)

Helichrysum – supports tissue repair and micro-circulation. Studies show it helps calm inflammation and strengthen fragile capillaries, which is important when veins are swollen and irritated.

Cypress – well known for venous support. It has mild vasoconstrictive properties (helps tone blood vessels) and is traditionally used for varicose veins and fluid stagnation.

Copaiba – rich in β-caryophyllene, a compound shown to interact with CB2 receptors involved in inflammation and pain regulation. In simple terms: very soothing for angry tissue.

Peppermint – gives fast cooling relief. Menthol activates cold receptors in the skin, helping reduce pain, itch and discomfort short-term.

Blended in FCO so it’s diluted and skin friendly, which makes it practical to use several times a day.

Recipe
8 drops Helichyrsum
7 drops Cypress
6 drops Copaiba
4 drops Peppermint

Put in a 10ml roller bottle and fill with Fractionated Coconut Oil or carrier oil.

Roll on finger and apply to area of concern 3 x daily
