Essential Oils Help Abuse Survivors Heal
Have you thought of combing essential oils with the professional treatments you receive to help you heal from abuse?
Tons of abuse survivors use essential oils in their personal healing as part of their private in-home relaxation or relief.
Here’s a common example.
Have you ever rubbed Vicks Vaporub on your chest at night to help with a cough, allergy symptoms, or sinus problems? (Surprising Hint: The treatment is even more effective when the Vicks is massaged onto the soles of your feet just before you slip on warm socks on, and then jump into bed!) If you’ve tried this, you probably woke up feeling better than you did when you went to sleep.
But did you know that it was essential oils making you feel better?
Inside Vicks Vaporub is a combination of different essential oils, including eucalyptus, cedarlead, and nutmeg. These essential oils and others are mixed together and suspended in petroleum jelly.
Though petroleum products are not the healthiest way to apply essential oils to your system, this simple home remedy helps you see the power essential oils have to relieve symptoms.
But the above treatment is done at home and on your own and for something other than trauma symptoms.
What if you were to combine essential oils with the services you receive from professionals? What if you used essential oils to address the trauma symptoms associated with your recovery from abuse?
Below is a list of 3 ways you can combine essential oils with the professional services you receive to help you heal from abuse.
3 Ways To Combine Essential Oils With Professional Services
1. Essential Oils Combined with Massage to Help Heal from Abuse
When massage therapists mix combinations of essential oils into their massage oils, aromatherapy combines with the healing power of massage to promote health benefits for you, the client. Communicate your goals for the massage and the massage therapist can make a blend according to the intention you set.
The following are some examples.
To help you feel more grounded when needing to make a tough decision, blends that include the following are great choices: hemp seed oil, spikenard, ginger, and ghandi root. When emotional strain manifests itself as physical pain, you need pain relief. Your massage therapist might mix vanilla, orange, and lavender into non-fragrant, hypoallergenic Jojoba oil.
2. Essential Oils Used During Your In-person Cuddle Session
After you have cleared it with your practitioner first (in case she has any sensitivities to particular scents), add drops of a particular essential oil into a diffuser before your professional cuddler arrives for your cuddle therapy appointment. Or perhaps your cuddle therapist will prepare a blend before your arrive at her office.
Frankincense is a dynamic essential oil for meditative experiences. When mixed with Palo Santo and balsam copaiba, this blend just might become your favorite!
3. Essential Oils in During Your Virtual Connection Session
