Deep Blue’s common primary uses include topical application for arthritis, back pain, bone pain, bruises, bursitis, fibromyalgia, inflammation, joint pain, muscle aches/pain, muscle tension, tension headaches, and whiplash. 

DoTerra Deep Blue Essential Oil Benefits & Uses 

Sore Muscles 

Deep Blue’s anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and muscle relaxant properties make it a suitable oil to relieve sore muscles. Dr. Jones and I always keep Deep Blue in our gym bags to use post-workout. 

For sore muscles, add 15 drops to 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and massage oil all over sore muscles. If the area of soreness is not extensive, mix 2-3 drops of essential oil with a teaspoon of fractionated coconut oil and massage onto area of pain. 

Arthritis 

Oils found in Deep Blue like camphor and blue tansy make this blend incredible at relieving pain due to arthritis. 

To use Deep Blue for arthritis, blend 10 drops of oil with 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil and massage gently onto affected joints daily. 

Inflammation 

Deep Blue is overflowing with anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for chronic, inflammatory pain. 

To help use Deep Blue for inflammation, add 8-10 drops of oil to a 5 ml roll-on bottle (dark-colored) and then fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil. Roll onto areas of discomfort. 

Back Pain

The oils in this blend make a killer all-natural alternative to icy-hot—seriously, camphor oil is one of the main ingredients found in icy-hot products (or similar products)! 

To use this oil for back pain, blend 5 drops with a teaspoon of fractionated coconut oil gently massage (or get your partner to massage) all over your back, or just the specific area of pain.

Tension Headaches 

Tension headaches will really put a damper on your whole day—lack of concentration leads to lack of productivity, which leads to feelings of failure and guilt. Kick those to the curb whenever a tension headache comes on with this blend, which features one of the best essential oils for headaches, peppermint. 

Mix 1-2 drops of oil with ½ teaspoon of fractionated coconut oil and apply to temples, back of neck, wrists, and/or bottoms of the feet. 

Deep Blue is one of my favorite oil blends to have on hand for ultimate soothing and relaxation. The combination is A1, and you seriously can’t beat it. Have you used doTerra Deep Blue before? Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions or comments!
