Osteoarthritis and arthritis are illnesses, which affect joints and bone tissue. Both conditions in most cases cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Osteoarthritis is probably a little harder to manage than arthritis. It’s a degenerative disease in which cartilage deteriorates and a bone is left exposed, the bone next to it becomes inflamed and may promote a formation of a bone spur – a kind of hard bone deposit.

Aromatherapy is not a cure, but can serve as a huge relief and help to manage pain and inflammation, if used correctly and consistently. Consistency is important when managing inflammation, simply because it works in similar way as medication – one pill of anti-inflammatory drug will not make a drastic change overnight.

So if you decided to use help of aromatherapist and invest into good anti-inflammatory/pain-reliving therapeutic aroma blend, then use it on daily basis in order to see the results, otherwise it’s a waste of time and money.

At Nature’s Lovers we have received many good feedbacks about custom blends we whipped up for our clients. One customer was particularly happy because our blend Muscle & Joint Comfort blend. helped her to manage pain and inflammation in her foot joints.

Many essential oils are very rich in anti-inflammatory and anesthetic phyto-chemicals, some are more, some are less, thus it’s very important to use knowledge and help of qualified aromatherapist to make effective blend for your condition.

Our Muscle & Joint Comfort blend blend has most common essential oils, with anesthetic properties, like Peppermint, Chamomile, Pine and Lavender, which can help with soreness and discomfort. However, when approaching inflammation essential oils have to be selected more carefully, especially for people with high-blood pressure and other serious health-related conditions. Rosemary, Cedarwood, Black Pepper and Cypress essential oils, for example, are very strong for anyone who has hypertension or pregnant women.
