My oldest son, Erik, has Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation and joint pain, and earlier this year, he had his worst flare-up yet:

"This past spring, I went through the worst autoimmune flare-up I’ve ever had. It lasted nearly two months, and the pain was brutal—mostly in my shoulders, hips, and knees. It was constant, and sometimes sharp enough to stop me in my tracks.

I came close to taking medical leave from work. Simple things became impossible; even typing on my laptop felt like a marathon. While my doctors ran tests and adjusted my meds, I still had to function day to day... and I was running out of steam.

That's when I found Restore. It helped me stay mobile and manage the pain in a way that felt sustainable. I was also taking ibuprofen, but I knew I couldn’t lean on that long-term. Restore gave me a natural option I could count on. I used it daily—sometimes more than once a day—to get through meetings, stay on my feet, and sleep at night.

Looking back, I’m honestly not sure how I would’ve made it through that stretch without it. It gives me peace of mind knowing I have something that works—and that I can trust it to help me keep moving forward."

As a mom, it’s been heart-wrenching to watch Erik endure such terrible pain, but I’m incredibly grateful that he has a natural alternative for pain relief.

Real Results for Real People

And Erik isn’t alone. Restore is a top-seller because it works on so many different types of pain. Here is what real customers are saying:

For Chronic Nerve Pain

“Miracle in a tiny bottle. I have Erythromelalgia (EM) and had exhausted prescription pain relief… 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 it at the onset, can stop it in its tracks. This has changed my life in ways I could not imagine.“ — Jane P.

For Knee & Joint Pain

“I fell in September of 2023… I had shots in my knee twice, and nothing helped. I ordered your Restore and used it on my knee. I am now back to having NO PAIN. Your product saved me from thinking I would live with the pain and feel old for the rest of my life.”
--Brenda

For Muscle Tension & Stiffness

“I have trouble with my neck and shoulders after a motor vehicle accident… I slathered Restore all over my neck… and was shocked! Within minutes, I was able to turn my head… without pain or a crackling sound. I slept all night soundly and awoke feeling so refreshed and pain-free.”
— Marilyn L.

My Secret Weapon For Natural Pain Relief

Why is Restore so effective? It comes down to the quality of the ingredients. This isn't just a random mix of oils; it's a powerhouse blend of Wintergreen, Camphor, and Peppermint to provide immediate cooling relief, combined with Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, and Blue Chamomile to target deep-seated inflammation, while Ylang-Ylang and Osmanthus work to soothe and relax. Combined, these oils help combat soreness and pain.

Restore comes in three versatile formulas. Whether you love mixing up your own remedies, need quick relief on the go, or want mess-free coverage for larger areas, there’s a Restore product for you!

1. The Undiluted Restore Essential Oil Blend

Best For: The DIYer who loves to mix up their own remedies.

This is the blend that started it all! This undiluted version of Restore gives you the most freedom to use it how you want. Here are three great ways to use it:

Make a batch of my homemade pain-relieving cream.
Add a few drops to your favorite lotion or some fractionated coconut oil and massage into sore areas.
Mix up your own Restore roller bottle! Add 5-10 drops of Restore to a roller bottle and top it off with fractionated coconut oil.

"I ordered this blend specifically to make Jillee's pain cream recipe... As a 58-year-old woman, this works great for my arthritis and muscle aches and cramps. My 62-year-old husband likes it, too!! It works, and I highly recommend it!” — Carole T.

“I've found the Holy Grail of oils... Restore essential oil should be named ‘Magic’! It has relieved headaches, muscle aches, stone bruises on my feet, and even knee pain from arthritis. My husband even swears by it now. Getting older no longer means we have to live with aches and pains! That’s a priceless magic!” — L. Dianne Jewell

For Pets

Do not apply essential oils directly to pets, and use caution when diffusing around them. Some oils safe for people can be harmful to animals. Consult your veterinarian before use.

Learn more in our Help & FAQs →

While Pregnant or Breastfeeding

Not safe for use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

The only blend in our shop that is safe for topical or aromatic use during pregnancy, when properly diluted, is Freshly Washed. Our single oils — lavender, lemon, and sweet orange — are also considered safe when properly diluted. All other blends contain oils that should be avoided while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Even for oils that are generally considered safe, always consult your doctor before using essential oils during pregnancy, do not use them during your first trimester, and never ingest essential oils.

If you choose to apply oils to your skin, dilute them properly with a carrier oil such as coconut, almond, or olive oil. A 1% dilution is recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding (about 2 drops of essential oil in a 10 ml roll-on bottle, filled the rest of the way with carrier oil).
