It's not just athletes who are affected by joint and muscle problems. We've become accustomed to pushing certain pains out of our heads as if to hide them. However, it's better to face them head on and address them while they're still mild. Essential oils, which are very powerful, can prove to be natural assets for both prep and recovery.

• The production worker: the same movements every day for hours... The pace is fast and I can't slow down. Even if my joints can't keep up!
• Seniors: I'd like to push my limits and continue doing activities I'm passionate about. I think it's a real benefit for my body, within reason.
• The athlete: I like to play sports in my free time, always trying to push myself, which can cause some pain. Even sports considered gentler, like yoga, can cause discomfort.
• Drug treatments: Every day, I take numerous pills and medications for my joint and muscle pain. If a natural method could help, it would be a relief.
