Using Essential Oils in Theraputic Baths

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:59 am

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.
