Review : Maui Excellent Volcano Oil

Last Updated: May 20, 2011

Welcome! It looks like you might be new here, so I wanted to take a moment to tell you a little about me and my blog. My name is Julie Ryan and I live with Fibromyalgia. I've chosen to live positively, to fight back with diet and lifestyle changes and it's made a huge difference for me. The difference between living all my days in bed, and actually LIVING. I hope you'll keep reading and subscribe to my Newsletter to make sure you don't miss a post. Thanks for visiting!

*BTW, just a heads up that the post below may have affiliate links (some of my posts do).

Welcome back! I'm so glad that you are here again. If you've not already, be sure to subscribe to my Newsletter and I'll update you each time I post (and occasionally I'll send you something special).

– I was provided this product by Maui Excellent for review purposes. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

You know how it is, you have Fibro so you will try pretty much anything to help ease the pain. I can’t count the number of different products I’ve tried for pain (from bath salts, to rubs, to gels and pills). And, still I’m always willing to try something else and hope it works. So, when Maui Excellent contacted me and offered to let me try their Volcano Oil product, I jumped at the chance.

They were kind enough to send me three of their Volcano Oil products, which included the Volcano Oil, Volcano Oil Gel and Volcano Oil bath salts. You know I’m all about my nightly bath, so the bath salts were the very first thing I tried and I was a bit disappointed that they weren’t stronger. Once I added them to the water it was like adding any other bath salts.

The Volcano Oil and the Volcano Oil Gel, on the other hand are a different story! I love both of these products and will be using the gel until I am scraping the bottom of the jar clean with a Q-tip if I have to. The Volcano Oil gel feel SO GOOD on any part of my body that is hurting. I get a lot of neck pain and this stuff was perfect for it. The eucalyptus and mint essential oils create a soothing aromatherapy, while the aloe vera and menthol provide a cooling relief to the pain. I’ve used it on neck pain, leg pain and even on my temples for a headache. I’ve also given it a try for clearing out my nasal passages and easing congestion and it works for that as well.

The Volcano Oil comes in a convenient roll-on applicator, so it is a great version to carry in your purse (or even pocket) and have on hand when you are out and about. If you remember when Bath & Body works had their aromatherapy line in a roll-on then you have exactly the right idea of what this is, and the Volcano Oil really does seem to me like a much stronger version of the Eucalyptus Spearmint aromatherapy products from Bath & Body works. Overall, my favorite is definitely the Volcano Oil gel, but the oil is also an excellent choice.
