Why We Keep the doTERRA Deep Blue Stick in Our Gym Bag (and Sports Bag!)

Whether you’re hitting the gym before work, powering through a Saturday morning run, or watching your kids give it their all on the soccer field, one thing is certain: an active lifestyle comes with sore muscles, tight shoulders, and the occasional “Oof, I didn’t know I had a muscle there.”

That’s where the doTERRA Deep Blue Stick comes in. If you’ve never used it, let me paint you a picture: imagine a cooling sensation that glides on effortlessly, doesn’t leave a mess, and fits perfectly into your gym bag or your kid’s sports backpack. No spills, no greasy hands—just a simple, soothing roll-on stick that feels amazing after movement.

Why Our Family Loves It

We’re a household that’s always on the move. My husband and I take turns working out (early mornings are our time!), and our kids are active in everything from gymnastics to baseball. We needed something safe, convenient, and effective to apply before or after physical activity—and the Deep Blue Stick has become a go-to.

We use it:

  • After workouts to cool down tight areas
  • On the back or shoulders after a long day at a desk
  • For post-game muscle care (our little athletes love how "icy" it feels!)
  • To warm up before a run or practice (great for prepping sore spots)

And because it’s in a mess-free stick, the kids can actually use it without making a giant mess—which, let’s be honest, is a win all on its own.

What’s in the Deep Blue Stick?

This isn’t just any cooling rub. It combines the trusted Deep Blue essential oil blend with plant-based ingredients and skin-loving moisturizers. It has that same familiar Deep Blue aroma we all love—minty, clean, and invigorating.

And while we don’t make any medical claims (because that’s not how we roll), we can say this: it’s a favorite in our house for soothing those “I overdid it” moments and keeping us feeling refreshed and ready to move again.

Who It’s Great For

  • Parents who lift, stretch, and stay active
  • Teen athletes and growing kids in sports
  • Coaches and trainers who need a quick solution between sessions
  • Anyone who wants a portable, clean way to cool down after a workout

Pro Tips from Our Family to Yours

  • Keep one in your gym bag, one in the car, and one in the sports bag.
  • It’s perfect for layering with Deep Blue Rub or Oil for extra comfort.
  • Let older kids or teens apply it themselves (with guidance, of course!).

Whether you’re just getting back into fitness or managing a busy sports schedule with your kids, the doTERRA Deep Blue Stick is one of those products you don’t know you need—until you do. Try it out and see why so many active families are making it a staple.

Because when your body feels good, it's easier to keep doing what you love.
