Over the last month I have talked to two very dear friends who are suffering with on-going back pain, Both of my friends are post-menopausal. They have visited their GPs and were given pain killers which helped a little while their effect lasted but then the pain returned.. One of them tried Pilates and swimming and the other tried physio therapy exercises. In both cases they did not received a definitive diagnosis from their GPs or chiropractor. So they are trying to get along with life!
I have been thinking about how to help them based on my experience and reading some further clinical aromatherapy research. I am going to propose to both of them to try massaging with a special blend of oils. I wil prepare a blend with Arnica base oil which is widely use by sport's people because thi is a stimulant, it improves elasticity in the muscle and I will also add the wonderul therapeutic properties of palmarosa, german chammomile and peppermint essential oils, These oils help with conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, strains, sprains, swelling and aching muscles. I will keep you updated on their progress*.
*Please bear in mind that I have carried out a health consultation and I am confident that there are no contraindications to use this blend. So before you try it at home consult a qualified aromatherapist,
