Ingredients
Method
- Firstly fill your bowl with the cold water and add the drops of essential oil, which will spread out and make a film on top of the water.
- Then dip your cloth into the water so it picks up as much of the essential oil as possible.
- Then wring out the cloth and place onto the affected area, covering it with the cling-film.
- Leave the cold compress on until it reaches body temperature, so for about 5 minutes.
- Then keep replacing with a fresh compress until the pain has subsided.
