What is Deep Tissue Repair Oil
Deep tissue repair oil is one of the most helpful formulas in my arsenal of supplements and tinctures. I use it almost daily for a mired of different things. Primarily, as the name suggests, deep tissue repair oil is used for deep tissue injuries. You can apply deep tissue to any sore muscle, ache, pain, bruise or internal injury that you may be dealing with. I haven’t discovered anything that works as well as this. You can also use it on external inflammation, I like to use it on red spots and zits whenever they may occur, and this oil can drastically reduce the appearance of redness very quickly. You can also apply small amounts to your temples to help with headaches.
When I was training jiujitsu during covid I broke or bruised a rib (never went to the doctor to confirm which, what good is a doctor for a broken rib anyway). I could barely move and could hardly sleep at night. Recovery was not easy but with persistent application of deep tissue oil, as well as alternating a hot and cold compress, I was back on the mats within 3 weeks. I applied deep tissue oil before each training session and could hardly feel my injury as I finished up healing. Deep tissue oil continued to be a saving grace for me during training throughout the years.
I’ve shared this product with many friends and family and they all continue to use it to this day. Deep tissue is full of anti inflammatory and naturally healing properties. Below I break down the ingredients and what they’re used for.
