Swelling & Gland Relief Oil
A castor oil blend with frankincense, lavender, and copaiba that reduces inflammation and soothes swollen lymph nodes and soft tissue.
Swollen lymph nodes and soft tissue inflammation are common signs that the immune system is actively at work — but the accompanying discomfort can be significant. This topical blend uses castor oil as its primary base for good reason: castor oil's ricinoleic acid has well-documented anti-inflammatory and lymphatic-stimulating properties, and it penetrates deeply into tissue when applied topically.
Frankincense addresses inflammation at the cellular level through its boswellic acid content, with research showing direct anti-inflammatory effects on soft tissue. Lavender adds analgesic and calming properties that ease the discomfort of tender, swollen areas. Copaiba's beta-caryophyllene provides additional anti-inflammatory support through the endocannabinoid system.
Apply directly to swollen lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, or groin, or to any area of soft tissue swelling. A warm compress applied over the oil significantly enhances absorption and increases the anti-inflammatory and lymphatic-drainage effect. Use consistently until swelling resolves.
