CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) also commonly known as Fibromyalgia causes so many different symptoms, ranging from chronic headaches to muscle pain, it can be difficult to have a treatment that works for them all. Each of us are individuals and many medical treatment will cause side effects which can be worse than the fibromyalgia or CFS symptoms. Many if not most of the fibromyalgia patients are looking for alternative treatments to help reduce their symptoms and feel better. Aromatherapy is one field that will help fibromyalgia sufferers decrease their pain, while improving their mood and outlook on life.
Aromatherapy is the science of using natural essential oils to treat various mind and body problems. There are hundreds of essential oils which are extracted from plants, seeds, bark, and flowers. These can be used alone or in combination with each other, to help treat different illnesses and disorders.
Aromatherapy works in one way by stimulating our sense of smell. The oils can be applied directly to the skin, applied in a massage lotion, used in a warm bath or dispersed around the room with an aromatherapy candle or aromatherapy oil burner.
We are capable of detecting in excess of 10,000 different scents, and every scent causes our body to respond in a slightly different way. When we inhale essential oils, 15% of each breath of air goes right to our brain. These aromas immediately effect the Limbic system in our brain the Limbic system is responsible for controlling mood and emotions. When scents activate the limbic system it releases hormones, causing us to experience a certain mood or emotion.
When applied directly to the skin, most essential oils must be combined with carrier oil, such as grapeseed or sweet almond oil or any other good massage oil that you like. Essential oils are very strong and can aggravate or burn the skin. Essential oils should never be taken internally or applied to the eyes. Women who are pregnant should also avoid most of the oils as well.
Aromatherapy has the capability of treating a wide range of physical and emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, arthritis, muscle pain, digestive disorders, menstrual disorders, and fatigue which covers many of the symptoms of CFS.
Aromatherapy is being used more and more and is very popular with fibromyalgia sufferers. Aromatherapy has a great impact on treating the pain and depression of fibromyalgia.
Aromatherapy gives CFS and Fibromyalgia sufferers the benefits of greatly improved circulation, deep relaxation, lessoning of pain, and much less depression.
The oils that are very beneficial to CFS and Fibromyalgia are for calming Lavender, Jasmine, and Rose.
Lavender happens to be very versatile oil in that is great for high blood pressure control as well and it is antibacterial as well as calming and soothing. It works very well on burns so really is an all around oil.
Lemon oil in Japan was shows to reduce the clerical errors in employees by 25% when misted into the air conditioning system, and grapefruit or geranium stimulate and increase your energy.
Cayenne pepper when in a salve will help sore joints or can be taken in capsule form internally to ease pain, peppermint, juniper and clary sage will ease the pain of sore joints and muscles.
If you do some research you will find many recipes for aromatherapies that will help you. We use a massage lotion or a spray which we make at our clinic that is not commercially available using natural oils that stop the pains very quickly and is useful in RLS so you can get better sleep at night. I am not sure about the legality of selling it here but if it is something you are interested in use our contact email and we will look into it. We have people tell us all the time that they sleep so much better just a couple of sprays before bedtime and the RLS do not seem to bother them and the pain of sleeping on their sides is vastly reduced. My wife had Fibromyalgia and we developed it for her and have used it with others with Fibromyalgia with great success. It has been through no clinical trials it is just something that works and since it uses all natural ingredients no one can patent it and make a big profit so it is not sold to you even though it is a benefit.
