Does this sound familiar? You wake up with that familiar ache in your hands, knees, or back. You reach for the bottle of pain relievers, knowing they’ll only provide temporary relief. By afternoon, you’ve already taken the maximum dose, but the pain persists. The day’s only half over, but your options are gone.
I’ve been there too. My hands ache on an almost daily basis due to arthritis and a condition called Dupuytren’s Contracture. Over-the-counter medications help, but I’d quickly exceed the recommended dosage if I took them every time pain struck. I needed something I could use as often as necessary without worrying about side effects or dosage limits.
But luckily for me, I have a secret weapon I can use to treat those localized aches and pains whenever my hands are bothering me: my homemade pain relief cream! Not only is this cream completely natural and safe to use, but it’s also a cinch to make, and I’ll show you how to do it in this post.
This simple DIY solution has become my go-to remedy for those moments when pain threatens to limit what I can do with my day. It puts the power of relief back in my hands—literally!
The secret ingredient in this pain-relieving cream is Restore Essential Oil Blend – a powerful combination of essential oils, including camphor, peppermint, ylang-ylang, and helichrysum, that work together to soothe discomfort and reduce inflammation.
The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity – just three ingredients create a cream that’s both effective and gentle enough to use whenever pain flares up. And unlike store-bought options with long lists of unpronounceable ingredients, you’ll know exactly what you’re putting on your body.
The Life-Changing Pain Relief Of Restore
When I first created this cream, I was just looking for something to help with my own discomfort. I had no idea it would become a turning point for so many people struggling with chronic pain. What began as my personal solution has become a lifeline for thousands.
The most rewarding part is hearing how this simple blend has transformed lives in profound ways – helping people avoid harsh medications, reclaim cherished activities, and finally get peaceful sleep after years of suffering.
Jane’s story particularly moves me. After years of struggling with Erythromelalgia (EM), she was facing morphine as her only option:
“I have EM and had exhausted prescription pain relief over the years, so Morphine was the only option. Not a path I wanted to take, so decided to try and source a non-addictive alternative. There have been numerous weird concoctions that I ended up wasting my money on… All I can say is this little miracle in a bottle is a game-changer for me. Now I’m not sitting in tears through the burning agony of this condition. It soothes and if I apply at the onset, can stop it in its tracks. This has changed my life in ways I could not imagine.”
Martha, a pharmacist who understands medications better than most, found relief without pharmaceuticals:
“I have osteoarthritis, and being a pharmacist and knowing about medications, I try to take as few drugs as possible. Restore has been great when my fingers hurt more during the cold weather. Thank you for an alternative to drugs.”
And then there’s the experience of Paula, who was dealing with severe rheumatoid arthritis:
“My rheumatoid arthritis is severe. I had to stop the medications my former rheumatologist prescribed due to side effects that were worse than the disease. I rely on acetaminophen and ibuprofen for pain but they are inadequate. This natural topical treatment works well for the pain, as well as Voltaren does.“
The Benefit Of Using Restore In A DIY Cream
In addition to the standard 10ml bottle, Restore is also available in a convenient roll-on bottle format that’s perfect for swiping onto my achy hands, and a powerful Muscle & Joint Soothing Balm in an easy-to-use stick applicator. But when I’m at home, I often reach instead for my homemade pain relief cream with Restore. It’s great for applying to larger areas affected by aches and pains, and it moisturizes my skin at the same time!
There’s something deeply satisfying about making your own remedy—knowing exactly what’s in it and feeling that sense of accomplishment when it actually works. Plus, the cream format allows for a gentler, more luxurious application experience that feels like self-care rather than just pain management.
The DIY cream has become a nightly ritual for many, like Vicki:
“I made the pain cream and it has helped my hand that develops a locked finger quite often. I use the cream at bedtime and I am able to sleep all night with relief.”
Margie found that it helped her return to a cherished activity:
“Relaxes my crampy hands. I tried everything and didn’t expect this to work — but it did! Such a relief! I was able to get back to sewing with my granddaughter. I mixed it into the homemade salve. Smells good, too!”
For some customers, like Carole and her husband, it’s become an everyday essential:
“This is the absolute best thing for pain! I make the pain relieving cream. My husband and I have been using it for three years. We are now in our 60s and use it almost every day! It is wonderful, and I can’t express how much we rely on this and I highly recommend it!”
And Patricia, who shares my experience with Dupuytren’s contracture, appreciates its simplicity:
“Like Jillee, I have Dupuytren’s contracture in both hands, as well as arthritis. As a fan of her website, I swear by many of her recipes, so I had to try her DIY pain relief cream. I love that it’s just three simple ingredients, and it actually helps relieve my pain.”
Ready to take control of your pain with a solution you can make yourself? Here’s how:
How To Make A DIY Pain Relief Cream
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tsp beeswax pellets
- 15 drops Restore Essential Oil Blend
Directions:
Start by melting the coconut oil and beeswax together in a double boiler. (If you don’t have one at home, a heat-safe bowl perched on top of a pan of simmering water will work just as well!)
Stir the oil and wax occasionally until everything is melted and well combined. Next, remove the oil and wax mixture from heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes or so.
Add the essential oil to the oil and wax and stir once more. Pour the finished mixture into a storage container with an airtight lid, like a glass jar.
Wait until the cream has set and cooled completely before using.
How To Use Your DIY Pain Relief Cream
Scoop some of the cream out of the container and apply it to the site of any aches and pains. The warmth from your skin and hands will heat up the cream and make it smooth and spreadable.
And give yourself a relaxing mini massage while you’re at it, or better yet, recruit a helper who’s willing to do it for you!
I keep a jar by my bedside for those nights when hand pain threatens my sleep, and another in my bathroom for morning applications. Having it readily available means I never have to endure unnecessary discomfort—and neither should you.
