Autoimmune disorder – any suggestions for aromatherapy essential oils?

Question by KayteeBee: Autoimmune disorder – any suggestions for aromatherapy essential oils?
I’m looking for suggestions for essential oils to be used to ease my illness.

I have an skin-related autoimmune disorder – my immune system needs to be suppressed and this is done by various prescription meds, but I want to complement them with some aromatherapy.

My illness is triggered by stress, and the meds cause fatigue and depression.

So I’d like to know if there is a possible combination of oils that includes something to ease stress, something to lift mood, something to help fight the fatigue, but also something that will NOT boost my immune system (this last bit is quite important)?

Ideally I’d like oils which, when added to a carrier, would be okay to use on my skin.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Many thanks!

Aromatherapy would be a wonderful support for your condition in terms of:

1. easing stress
2. lifting mood
3. helping you feel more energized

Most will NOT boost your immune system.

HOWEVER…I would strongly recommend that you predominantly use blends of essential oils in a room diffuser or an inhaler, vs. diluted and on your skin. If your skin is suffering as a result of your disorder, even diluted EO’s can cause irritation, with very few exceptions.

To locate a certified aromatherapist in your vicinity, try www.naha.org. It is the certifying body for aromatherapists nationwide, and upholds high professional standards. An individualized consultation can provide you with a synergistic blend that truly works for your unique needs.

Best Wishes.

Probably, one of the most well-known aromatherapy oils for alleviating stress and anxiety is lavender. A bowl of floating lavender aromatherapy candles to accompany your bath will help you relax after a long day. A small candle on your dining table will sway your desolate mood in to feeling of satisfaction.

Try making bubble bath bars…..

Bubble Bar Recipe

1/3 cup Cream of Tartar
1 cup Baking Soda
1 cup Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLS) (use a mask for this, it floats in the air big time)
1/3 cup Glycerin

Mix all ingredients together

I usually let them dry overnight; but I have let them dry for weeks and
not wrapped them till ready to give away. When no one is looking, you can throw one in your tub today after class! It will still be a color burst with fragrance and a very fun
experience. But if you want to wrap and give away, it is best to let them harden so as not to fall apart and be crumbles. But Bath Crumbles are fun too!

As a form of alternative medicine, Aromatherapy is considered by some as essential to a person’s mood or well-being. It’s considered a holistic way of taking care of the body by enhancing the senses with pleasant smelling botanical oils. These aromatherapy oils can be utilized by massaging directly into the skin or by adding them to bathwater and the essential oils are found in aromatherapy products. Many will stimulate their olfactory nerves by inhalation of these essential oils. Perhaps the most common method of using an aromatherapy product is by diffusing the oils to scent an entire room. Considered by many as a way to promote relaxation, improve mood and reduce anxiety, and provide stress relief, essential oils are very much a part of society.

Aromatherapy has been extensively studied and is considered one of the fastest growing options in alternative medicine. Studies have been done to determine how different plant oils affect us and most of the properties of this research have found their way into an aromatherapy product. There are well over a hundred different essential oils with antiseptic properties. In order to get the maximum benefit out of these aromatherapy essential oils, they have to be made from pure, natural materials. Synthetic oils are not effective. These natural oils have been found to have anti-inflammatory, pain relieving, antidepressant and even expectorant properties. They also stimulate and relax our minds and bodies.

Hospitals and clinics are using aromatherapy for pain relief of women who are having babies, to relieve the pain and stress of cancer patients as they undergo chemotherapy and to assist many other patients who are recovering from various ailments. Even businesses are finding that using aromatherapy in the workplace can go a long way in affecting the moods of their employees and customers. Certain oils such as lavender have been found to calm anxiety and stress and are typically used in waiting rooms to calm clients or patients. Other oils like eucalyptus have been found to be effective in keeping employees alert in the workplace.

The term aromatherapy may lead one to assume this is all about smells. This isn’t necessarily true. In fact, most forms of aromatherapy involve rubbing the oils directly onto the skin. These essential oils have properties that can assist in relieving pain or healing discomfort. Some aromatherapists use these oils and herbs in their cooking as a form of therapy.

Using incense may be one of the oldest forms of aromatherapy. In ancient times, people would burn incense to release certain types of scents to assist in the senses. Incense is typically made with essential oils from plants.

Essential oils in their purest raw form are extremely potent. Because of this potency some oils can irritate skin or cause toxic reactions in individuals. These oils need to be diluted with other types of oils. Some citrus oils can cause an adverse result on the skin unless used correctly. Some prescription drugs mixed with certain types of essential oils can have a negative result on some individuals. When considering serious aromatherapy, it’s best to consult with someone who has a good base knowledge of essential oils and how to best use them.

There are literally thousands of aromatherapy products out on the market today. Many of them are used to scent a room and create certain types of moods but when one is considering real aromatherapy, consult with an aromatherapist to determine which type of essential oil you need for your desired result.
