Aromatherapy Treatment For Arthritis
September 5, 2007 |
Aromatherapy uses scents to provide relief for arthritis pain. It is one of the common holistic treatments for pain relief, skin care and revival, rejuvenation and stress management. It uses aromatic botanical oils to create a gratifying feeling. You can massage them into the skin, inhale them directly, add them to the bath water, and diffuse their scents into the surrounding environment.
The oils can influence your moods, help you to feel relaxed, reduce fatigue, and lessen anxiety.
Aromatherapy gains popularity very fast in the alternative medicine. Many people use it in home, clinical and hospital to ease pain and relieve stress.
Aromatherapy treatment for arthritis uses essential oils such as:
- Cinnamomum Camphora (Camphor)
- Cupressus Sempervirens (Cypress)
- Eucalyptus
- Ginger
- Hyssopus Officinalis (Hyssop)
- Juniperus Communis (Juniper)
- Lavandula Officinalis (Lavender)
- Matricaria Chamomilla (Chamomile)
- Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary)
- Styrax Benzoin (Benzoin)
You can make your recipe to treat arthritis. Mix six drops each of rosemary and chamomile oils with four ounces of base oil such as almond, avocado, sesame, or soybean. Apply the mixture on the affected area. Then massage the oil until it is absorbed into the sore arthritic joints. For an extra pain relief, add ten drops each of rosemary and chamomile oils in a tub of warm water. Then rest for about 10 minutes in it.
You can use essential oils in other ways in treating arthritis. You can lightly dab and wear as a cologne or perfume. You can add the oil into a bowl of hot water. This will create the vapor. Inhale the vapor.
