I have found several different definitions of aromatherapy and it's uses. Some from simple " it's using different aromas from plant extract to oils to stimulate the senses" kind of thing. I guess I just wanted to know how it could benefit me in my quest to relieve my stress. The stress exacerbates my illness and therefore causes me to not function as I would like to.
One definition of aromatherapy is ...
Aromatherapy is healing therapy using essential oils, these are plant
hormones/essences and are extracted from many species of herbs and aromatic
plants. The oils have many healing properties and when carefully blended can
have a very positive effect on a persons health and well being. Aromatherapy can
be used in many different ways the most effective being through therapeutic
massage when the oils are absorbed through the skin.
By using therapeutic
massage this can benefit people in many ways, for stress relief, relaxation,
relief of tension, time out from the demands of work and family life; soothing
tired, aching muscles, improving circulation, aiding the removal of toxins and
wastes from the body, increasing immunity, improving skin tone, texture and
appearanceas well as having an effect on many medical conditions.
So I wanted to know what those medical conditions were. One in particular was for chronic pain. I suffer with chronic pain in my joints from a connective tissue disease and this debilitates me to some degree. I do notice that the weather and stress can play a part in this process. Whatever it takes to help aid in relieving these symptoms.
