Aromatic Relief for Pain
By Linda Anne Kahn Clinical Aromatherapist
There are three main types of pathophysiology that can be considered to result in pain in the majority of people: nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, and sensory hypersensitivity. It is important to recognize that multiple pain conditions may coexist, and chronic pain may change over time.
Are you in pain? The leading cause of pain is due to chronic inflammation. Huge numbers of Americans regularly take over the counter pain killers each week. Many of these NSAIDS drugs, like Ibuprofen, cause gastrointestinal problems and also reflux disease.
Consider using aromatherapy to help with pain and soothe and decongest your tissue. Extracts of Boswellia, the source of biblical frankincense, has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties in human and mouse studies. The essential oil of Plai is high in a terpene called sabinene and has pain-relieving and analgesic properties. Plai has also helped ease the pain and inflammation of arthritis and joint problems.
Ask your Clinical Aromatherapist to make a blend to help with joint problems, especially where inflammation is present. Peppermint essential oil has an analgesic effect and can soothe painful areas. For arthritis and rheumatism blend chamomile, marjoram, and ginger in massage oil. We can create a specialized blend formulated specifically for your needs.
