- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the olive oil and salt. Stir until you have a paste-like consistency. For added benefits, you can include a few drops of essential oils like lavender or peppermint for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Apply the Scrub: Gently massage the scrub into the areas where you experience joint pain. The action of massaging helps to improve circulation and reduce stiffness. Be sure to apply with gentle motions to avoid aggravating the skin or joints.
- Leave on for Relief: Allow the scrub to sit on your skin for about 15-20 minutes. This gives the magnesium from the salt and the antioxidants from the olive oil time to penetrate and act on the affected areas.
- Rinse Off: After the time is up, rinse off the scrub with warm water. You can use this scrub daily or a few times a week, depending on your needs and sensitivity.
