I would recommend using these in a blend and mixing together. 10 drops of each in a essential oil bottle and filling with fractionated coconut oil. Or you can purchase a blend that incorporate these into one blend. Rocky Mountain essential oils have awesome blends and single oils. You can find them here

I use these on a regular basis to better help with low back pain in my personal life and recommend it to my patients on a regular basis!

The best application frequency is 3 times a day at least especially if you are after tissue healing. Either rubbing it in yourself or having someone rub it in for you for a few minutes will help drive the oils deeper.
