If you’ve ever bruised your coccyx, you know how deep and jarring that pain can be. It’s not just physical—it can knock the wind out of your energy field, too.
This morning, I had an unexpected muddy encounter outside my daughter’s house (thank you, enthusiastic doggo). One slippery patch later, I landed hard on my tailbone and grazed my forearm. By the time I got home, I knew I needed more than just rest—I needed ritual.
So I ran a warm bath and added:
• 🌿 Basil – for its anti-inflammatory and uplifting properties
• 🔥 Black Pepper – to stimulate circulation and ease muscular tension
• 🌲 Sandalwood – grounding, soothing, and spiritually centering
After soaking, I created a massage blend with the same trio and gently worked it into the bruised area. The warmth, scent, and intention helped me reconnect with my body and soften the shock.
If you’re nursing a bruised coccyx (or any deep tissue ache), this blend can support both physical recovery and emotional recalibration. Always dilute appropriately in a carrier oil, and apply with care.
Chosen Carrier oil - 2 tbsp
2 drops Basil Essential Oil
2 drops Black Pepper Essential Oil
2 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil
✨ Bonus tip: Pair the ritual with a grounding affirmation or a gentle breathwork practice. Your body deserves reverence, even in its wobbly moments.
Remember to always do a patch test with any oils that you have not previously used.
