How to care for your body during physical discomfort
The body is an ingenious ecosystem that constantly maintains the balance of its internal environment. If homeostasis is disturbed, adaptive processes are immediately triggered. One specific physiological process, which we commonly call pain, also contributes to ensuring this balance.
Although pain warns us of danger and is therefore a positive signal, it is often such an unpleasant experience that it degrades our quality of life, leading us to seek all possible ways to suppress it. Modern medicine and pharmacotherapy offer effective remedies and methods in this area. However, there are also many other ways that bring comfort during physical discomfort. One of these can be aromatherapy – a traditional approach based on the use of pure essential oils from various plants, which people around the world have been using for over 6000 years.
INTERESTING FACT: Czech scientists, studying a 200-year-old analgesic preparation known as Imperial Opium Laudanum, discovered that in addition to opium, it also contained a number of essential oils – cinnamon and lemon oil, as well as essential oils from cloves and nutmeg.

Breathe, apply, soothe
When things get too much and the body says "enough", a cascade of unpleasant physical manifestations is triggered. The feelings we have are then described in various ways: as sharp, dull, throbbing. Sometimes these echoes of internal processes start slowly and make themselves known gradually, other times they strike hard and hit us like a bolt from the blue.
If we know their cause and are looking for a way to give the body rest and comfort, aromatherapy care with pure and 100% natural essential oils can lend a helping hand.
For aromatherapy care for a strained body, you can include essential oils from clove, frankincense and peppermint, or BEWIT essential oil blends – specifically Nopa, Nobapa, Nohepa and MIG, produced and certified directly in the Czech Republic. Let's take a closer look at these aromatherapy saviours.

Clove essential oil will put a smile back on your face
Dried cloves were placed in the mouths of plague victims in the Middle Ages. Folk healers commonly used them for oral hygiene and to alleviate various pains in these areas. Today, this fragrant spice is more commonly used in gastronomy and perfumery, but its role in soothing physical ailments, not only around the teeth, is still significant, which is why it is often found as an ingredient in toothpastes and mouthwashes.
If you don't fancy chewing cloves, you can try them in a concentrated form: distilled as an essential oil. It has strongly energising and purifying effects and an intense sweet and spicy aroma.
REMEMBER: Thanks to its high eugenol content, clove essential oil is one of the strongest essential oils in our range. Therefore, always dilute it correctly in a carrier oil before use. The exact ratio can be found on the bottle label and in the description on our website.
My joints again! How can I help myself?
Many essential oils have beneficial soothing effects. Among them, the essential oil also known as the "king of oils" stands out, BEWIT Frankincense Sacra, which is popular for its strength among athletes and those who struggle with any significant movement. It has a delicate, balsamic, warming scent with a sweet accent, reminiscent of ancient earthiness and the atmosphere of sacred rituals.
TIP: BEWIT Frankincense Sacra will also be appreciated when you experience difficulties during your period. Prepare a compress in the evening and observe how your body revives.
Single essential oils and blends for physical discomfort
When muscles and joints ache after a long day and the body feels tired or stiff, an aromatherapy massage with peppermint essential oil, commonly known as peppermint, can come in handy.
This powerful herb can also be a support in stressful situations or at work where we put a lot of strain on our heads. When our brain signals a stop and we need to quickly get it back to comfort, a few drops of menthol peppermint diluted in a carrier oil come in handy.
TIP: Do you feel like your head is about to explode? Drip 3–5 drops of BEWIT Peppermint into an aroma diffuser, or gently apply this essential oil diluted in a carrier oil to the area under your hair: especially your forehead and the back of your neck. The essential oil blend BEWIT Mig, which also contains peppermint essential oil, or the popular blends BEWIT Nobapa and BEWIT Nohepa will also serve you well for this purpose.

Treat yourself to this beneficial blend whenever you experience discomfort, ideally in the form of an aromatherapy massage, compress, or inhalation.
Do you travel often? Are you just starting with aromatherapy? Or do you not have the time to dilute essential oils yourself? Then reach for the essential oil blend BEWIT Nopa in the form of a body serum or aroma roll-on. Their advantage is that you can apply them quickly and easily directly to the skin, without the need for further dilution with a carrier oil.
