greetings all,
my mother (age 72) has intense muscle pains/aches in her legs/thighs.
currently, she is using acupuncture, which does seem to help a bit.
my question is the following. i’ve heard that some essential oils
have healing qualities when used in baths, and was wondering what
combinations of which oil would be optimal in such a situation.
i currently have about 20 different EOs at home, so would appreciate
a specific recipe…
thanx in advance,
–

The following recipes are for muscular pains:
BATH: eucalyptus 4 drops, rosemary 4 drops
HOT COMPRESS: chamomile 2 drops, rosemary 2 drops, sandalwood 1 drop
MASSAGE: juniper 5 drops, lavender 4 drops, rosemary 4 drops
COMPRESS & FOOTBATH: eucalyptus 3 drops, rosemary 3 drops
These might be useful too (they’re for aching joints/arthritis):
BATH: lavender 2 drops, rosemary 2 drops, marjoram 3 drops
MASSAGE: lavender 5 drops, rosemary 4 drops, marjoram 6 drops
I got these recipes from the book "Practical Aromatherapy" by Deborah
Nixon which, in my opinion, is EXCELLENT!! Retails $12.95 Canadian.
