Aromatherapy in Fibromyalgia
Soothing aromatherapy baths and massages can help to ease muscle and joint pain.
Choose one or more of the following essential oils to add to bath water or massage oil: basil, black pepper, elemi, eucalyptus, myrrh, peppermint, and pine.
Add juniper oil or rosemary oil to bath water. Take a half-hour bath, then rest in bed for an hour to ease pain and calm the system.
Rub tea tree oil everywhere it hurts at least once daily; muscle pain takes about six weeks to disappear.
Massage painful areas with juniper oil.
Many essential oils help to reduce stress, a major contributor of fibromyalgia. Useful oils are: elemi, frankincense, geranium, jasmine, lavender, myrrh, and neroli.
