SLP 411: Self Love Quicky - Aromatherapy...

THE WELLNESS COUCH
About this episode

Chronic muscle and joint pain affects millions of people worldwide, often as a result of conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or old injuries. While traditional treatments, such as medication and physical therapy, remain important, aromatherapy is gaining more and more credibility as a complementary, natural method for managing pain and improving well-being.

My passion for this modality is well known. Aromatherapy harnesses the power of essential oils derived from plants, many of which have scientifically proven properties to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension. In this week’s Quicky we look at how aromatherapy can aid in managing chronic pain and I give a few practical blend suggestions.

All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Quotes:
Essential oils work through two primary mechanisms: inhalation and topical application.
When inhaled, they interact with the limbic system.
When applied topically, essential oils penetrate the skin and act directly on sore muscles and joints.
Lavender oil exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Peppermint oil significantly reduces the intensity of headaches and muscular pain.
Eucalyptus is effective in reducing pain and inflammation.
Ginger stimulates circulation and reduces pain due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Rosemary has been shown to reduce muscle inflammation and increase blood flow to affected areas, promoting healing.
Studies show that stress management is crucial for those dealing with chronic pain.
