My secret to Natural Pain Relief

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." - Haruki Murakami (Japanese novelist)

As a family that cherishes outdoor adventures, hiking has become a treasured pastime for us when we are all together. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, we take great pleasure in exploring trails, breathing in the fresh air, and immersing ourselves in the wonders of the great outdoors. 

However, when planning out these hiking escapades, we keep in mind my daughter's knee injury. (I’d share the picture of her knee cap on the side of her leg…but that would gross a lot of people out!) 

She always carried the Deep Blue Rub and Touch* with her, but we were thrilled a few years ago when doTERRA announced their newest addition to the Deep Blue Line - the Deep Blue Stick with Copaiba.

Compact and convenient, it found a permanent home in my daughter's backpack, serving as her trusted ally on our hiking excursions.

As my family and I tackled rugged trails and conquered steep inclines, my daughter’s knee injury would often flare up, making hiking painful during and after. She'd reach into her backpack for the Deep Blue Stick. Its soothing relief became her hiking companion, providing comfort to her weary joints and muscles. Each application left her feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the next challenge.

Not only does the Deep Blue Stick provide relief during our hikes, but it also plays a crucial role in post-hike recovery. After returning home, my daughter applies the stick to her knees, allowing its calming properties to ease any lingering discomfort and promote relaxation. Thanks to the Deep Blue Stick, our hiking adventures are no longer overshadowed by pain—instead, they're a celebration of resilience, strength, and the healing power of nature's remedies.

What is the Deep Blue Stick?

The Deep Blue Stick with Copaiba is designed to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with muscles and joints, including simple backache, arthritis, sprains, strains, and bruises. Its innovative stick form makes application easy and mess-free, allowing you to target specific areas with precision and convenience. With a proprietary blend of natural plant extracts and other ingredients, this topical analgesic offers soothing relief whenever and wherever you need it most.

Copaiba essential oil is a valuable addition to the Deep Blue Stick for several reasons. Known for its calming properties, Copaiba may help to soothe discomfort and tension in muscles and joints. Additionally, Copaiba possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce swelling and alleviate the soreness associated with minor aches and strains. By incorporating Copaiba into the Deep Blue Stick, it enhances the overall effectiveness of the blend, providing targeted relief to areas of discomfort.

Deep Blue Stick vs Rub?

While the Deep Blue Rub is beloved for its comforting and cooling effects, the Deep Blue Stick offers a portable alternative for those moments when cleanup isn't convenient. Whether you're at the gym, traveling, or simply on the move, the Deep Blue Stick allows you to enjoy the benefits of Deep Blue without the need for handwashing or cleanup. Simply remove the lid, apply the stick to the affected area, and continue with your day—no mess, no fuss.
