JoJo's Lotion
(Recipe by Cyndi Muller copyright 2002)
Top
This is the lotion I made for my cousin JoAnn Minnich (JoJo) when she was recovering from massive doses of radiation for her brain cancer out at Loma Linda Hospital in CA. The lotions they gave her to 'help' her burns were petroleum based and did nothing to help her fried skin. JoJo found almost instant relief after using this lotion. It healed her burns more quickly than regular lotion.
I have decided to share this recipe to help others. If you do use it to sell, I only ask that you donate a good percentage to Walk For Life in honor of JoJo. If you choose to post this recipe on your site, please give credit where credit is due.
- 5% Aloe Butter
- 4% Meadowfoam Oil
- 3% Rose Hip Oil
- 3% Emu Oil or Virgin Coconut Oil
- 4% glycerin
- 4% e-wax
- 2% stearic acid
- 37% Aloe Vera Juice
- 37% Lavender Hydrosol
- 2% Lavender essential oil
- perservative per manufacturers direction

EO Blend for an Icy Hot
Top
-
2 parts Menthol Crystals (gives that Icy Hot feeling)
- 1-2 parts Camphor
- 1 parts Peppermint
- 1 part Lavender
- 1 part Rosemary
- 1 part Eucalyptus
Combine this mixture in a lotion, cream or a carrier oil that the EO blend is 4% of the carrier you use.
We also use this over your neck for sore throat, over your chest for lung problems, over you stomach for cramps, also down lower for female cramps.
Don't get this near your face. These are all easy to find, inexpensive EO's. If you are not limited by funds then you will want to try Helichrysum, Yarrow, Chamomile etc. for their wonderful properties (those are also good for skin problems and could be used on your face).
I hope that this has given some of you with serious pain concerns a starting place. If you make this, or something like it, please let us know how it works for you.
