(references are not related to my product in anyway, except that it is the same plant variatal)
The Essential Oil Blend:
Kunzea
Not only has it been used to deter ticks for ages, topically it is analgesic, and very effective for muscular and arthritic pain.(1)
"I see significant potential for use of Kunzea Essential Oil in emotional and physical applications. Robbi Zeck, ND, writes that Kunzea Essential Oil "helps to defuse deep emotional pain that has grown solid as a result of suppression, creating internal blocks in the body's meridian system." (2)
Zeck also writes, "When your body feels strung out and as tight as a drum kunzea relieves muscular aches, joint pain, and nervous tension."

Emotionally, Plai Essential Oil is an energizing essential oil that is particularly nice to use when feeling lethargic or sluggish. (aromaweb.com)

It is used increasingly for management of pain, especially for any chronic conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory digestive disorders, inflammatory skin conditions and inflammatory respiratory conditions.

CB2 receptors are found in immune tissues throughout the body and are increased in the brain in disease or following injury. Their activation reduces inflammation, which lessens pain and reduces the damaging consequences that chronic inflammation has on brain function and risk for developing brain diseases.

infused with:
Arnica
Arnica salve is useful for bruising or other injuries that are close to the skin surface. It further reduces inflammation from injuries, including soft tissue injuries & strains. Also used for bruising, applied externally. It combines well with other inflammatory & pain relieving herbs. (7song.com)
Calendula
It is one of the best wound healing remedies in our western materia medica. It helps wounds to heal much more rapidly, prevents suppuration and stagnation of fluids, modulates any local inflammation, and prevents bacterial overgrowth and infection. The astringency helps to draw the wound together to heal it more rapidly and preventing excessive scar formation. Calendula seems to “clean the wound from the inside out,” indicating that rather than just superficially preventing infection and sealing the wound, it works on a deeper level of the blood and lymphatics in the local tissues and works up and out from there. It is also quite useful as a topical agent for sunburns.
“inflammation modulator,” because most plants will not completely halt the bodies inflammatory process (which is a critical healing aspect of the vital force) but will simply modulate it to a certain extent. This action of Calendula is demonstrated through its topical effects in wounds
