Azlok's Deep Muscle Relief Blend is a ready-mixed essential oil blend of camphor, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, rosemary and wintergreen, made to be diluted in a carrier oil and massaged into aching muscles or diffused for its crisp, minty-fresh aroma. It is a concentrate for external and aromatic use only, not something to swallow. Priced from ₹399, it saves you the trouble of buying and blending six oils separately.
What is in the blend and why it works
Each oil in this combination is a well-known aromatherapy staple, and together they give that familiar cooling, warming sensation people reach for after a long day or a hard workout.
- Peppermint and eucalyptus bring a cooling, clearing freshness.
- Camphor and wintergreen add the warm, penetrating note traditionally associated with muscle rubs.
- Rosemary lends a sharp, herbaceous edge.
- Lavender softens the overall aroma and adds a calming touch.
The blend is a transparent liquid with a light, minty odour and a thin consistency. It is soluble in alcohol and in some oils, which is what makes it easy to mix into massage bases.
How to use Deep Muscle Relief Blend
This is a concentrated product, so dilution matters. A few practical ways to use it:
- Massage oil: Add 8–12 drops per 30 ml of a carrier oil such as coconut, sesame or sweet almond. Mix well and massage gently into the sore area.
- Diffuser: Add 3–5 drops to your diffuser's water reservoir to freshen a room and clear the senses. Great after exercise or before winding down.
- Warm compress: Add 2–3 drops to a bowl of warm water, dip a cloth, wring it out and apply to tense shoulders or the lower back.
- Bath (with care): Mix 3–4 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil or unscented liquid soap first, then add to warm bathwater so the oil disperses rather than floating.
Always do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before applying to a larger area, especially since this blend is potent.
Safety notes worth taking seriously
This blend is strong, and camphor and wintergreen in particular need respect.
- Never apply undiluted to skin. Always mix with a carrier oil.
- Do not ingest. These oils are for topical and aromatic use only.
- Keep away from children and pets. Camphor and wintergreen can be harmful if swallowed, even in small amounts.
- Not for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical advice.
- Avoid contact with eyes, broken skin and mucous membranes.
- Diffuse in a well-ventilated room and do not run a diffuser continuously for hours.
- If you have a health condition, are on medication, or the skin reacts, stop use and consult a doctor.
None of this is a claim to treat or cure any condition. Think of it as a comforting, aromatic support alongside rest, stretching and proper care.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers the Deep Muscle Relief Blend in sizes from a handy 100 GM bottle up to bulk 25 KG packs, so it suits both home users and small businesses making massage oils, balms or room sprays. For personal use, the smallest size usually lasts a long time because you only need a few drops at a time.
- Shelf life is around two years when stored properly.
- Keep the bottle tightly capped, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Store in a cool, dark cupboard; a consistent, low temperature preserves the aroma.
- Use clean, dry droppers to avoid contaminating the oil.
If you plan to blend at scale, ask for the COA and MSDS documentation and check the allergen information before formulating.
