Aromatherapy using Essential Oils for Arthritis Treatment
Many people how found relief from arthritis using essential oils. Arthritis refers to a condition involving damage to the joints of the body. There are many different forms of arthritis. The most common form, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Unfortunately, the trigger for arthritis is not known so only the symptoms of the disease may be treated - not the underlying cause. Below are a number of ways to treat arthritis pain with aromatherapy using essential oils.
Topical Essential Oil Remedies for Arthritis
When arthritis pain strikes, topical essential oil remedies are one of the quickest ways to find relief because it is applied through the skin directly at the pain site. Our Arthritis, Muscle & Joint Pain Treatment Gel, with cypress and eucalyptus, is a customer favourite and is extremely popular as a topical remedy for Arthritis. While this gel comes in a small jar, you may prefer to carry a smaller format in your purse. Our Headache Relief Aromatherapy Roll-on, with its combination of peppermint and lavender, is also a good choice for arthritis pain relief. Alternatively, you could create your own pain treatment by combining any of the essential oils listed below with our comfrey gel or our unscented roll-on.
