Hi Benjamin!

This is a homemade muscle rub with beeswax that may be what you’re looking for:

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup grated beeswax
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne powder
  • 2 teaspoons ginger or turmeric powder (Note: While turmeric is an outstanding muscle and joint soother, be aware that it will cause some temporary skin discoloration)
  • 15 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 15 drops lavender essential oil
  • glass jar

Directions:

  1. Pour all oils (except essential oils) into a jar. Place a saucepan with 2 inches of water over medium-low heat.
  2. Place jar in saucepan and allow contents to melt. Stir to combine. Add the cayenne and ginger/turmeric.
  3. Once combined, allow to cool slightly and then add in essential oils. Mix well.
  4. Pour mixture into metal tins or storage containers and allow to set.
