Aromatherapy oils suitable for arthritis?
I have a relation with arthritis in her knee and foot and she would be interested in using aromatherapy oils to help her situation. I would be very grateful if somebody could recommend oils/ oil blends that would be suitable for this. I am aware that some oils have dangers or cautions to take note of when using them. That information would also be useful but if not I can try find the information myself.
Thanks
2 oz of carrier oil (olive, jojoba, sweet almond oil)
20 drops Roman Chamomile essential oil
5 drops black pepper essential oil
blend well, massage small amount on joints twice daily store in dark container away from light
Do not use if pregnant
or
add 10 to 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil to bath after water is run, mix well before getting in
Do NOT use if have high blood pressure or epilepsy, do NOT ingest
or
2 1/2 oz carrier oil (same as above)
15 drops frankincense essential oil
5 drops german chamomile essential oil
25 drops juniper essential oil
mix well and apply to joints twice daily store in dark container away from light
Do NOT use if pregnant or have epilepsy or have kidney disease
My clients usually use a combination of all three, they alternate the massage oils, when one is done they mix up the other and use it then go back to the first one, they use the eucalyptus in the bath every time they bathe, just make sure not to use the massage oil right before the bath and wait a couple hours after the bath before apply the massage oils.
Hope this helps
