2011-04-27T18:28:00.000-07:00

Back Pain can be influenced by lifestyle. Things such as smoking, drinking alcohol, not drinking enough water, lack of exercise, diet, weight, and genetics can all lead to an individual suffering from Back Pain. Most people go to see a physician who refers them to a physical therapist. Physical Therapists perform a series of treatments to strengthen the individuals muscles to help alleviate the pain. They can also administer steroid injections right into the spine for herniated discs which inhibit the pain. But even these multiple series of treatments only last for a couple of years if your lucky. With seeing a physical therapist you have to make sure that your insurance carrier takes your health insurance, if you have any. More than likely you will end up with a pretty hefty bill at the end of the series of treatments. With using essential oils you can buy a bottle for around $10 that will last an individual about a month depending upon how frequently they use the oil. You can apply the oil to the back of your neck, your temples, eyebrows, forehead, anywhere on the back but it works best if you apply it directly on your pain. Sometimes it can take a little bite for the oils to actually work help alleviate your back pain and you have to be consistent with applying it.

Many different things can causes of back pain. From accidents to disease, always take back pain seriously. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I have always been physically fit by exercising and eating the right foods. I never had a problem with my body, I was limber and could bend and stretch really well. After I became pregnant I noticed a shift in my pelvis which in turn caused a misalignment in my spine. As my pregnancy progressed I found it less and less tolerable so I began researching ways to help ease my back pain. That is when I turned to essential oils because of its natural properties. I knew that I didn't have to worry about harming my baby when using the appropriate oils.....please note you do have to be careful because some oils are not suitable for pregnant or lactating women. Essential oils are not only suitable for pregnant women but all men and woman who are looking for a natural and inexpensive ways to strengthen their body, mind and spirit. In addition to essential oils I practiced yoga which helped my spine become elongated and stretched and helped my breathing techniques to allow more oxygen to my muscles and cells. Back on topic, some oils that I have found to be extremely helpful for back pain are:

Lavender Essential Oil - relieves nervous tension, relieves pain, disinfects skin, enhances blood circulation and respiratory problems, it is a very relaxing oil.

Marjoram Essential Oil - soothes aching muscles, helps with bronchitis, helps with cough, helps with rheumatism, and it can help relieve stress.

Wintergreen Essential Oil - acts as an analgesic, helps with arthritis and pain in bones and joints.

Peppermint Essential Oil - helps relieve headaches, nausea, fever, upset stomach, and aches and pain.

If you are serious about Essential oils study them more yourself, read up on ways to relieve back pain and you may find a routine that works for you. I know when I combined essential oils with yoga it really relieved a lot of my back pain that I encountered. If you have any comments or would like to add a routine that you use that works well please leave a comment...................

Natural Ways to Help Ease Back Pain

What are essential oils?

Essential oils are extracted from various parts of a plant using a distillation method. Essential oils are not actually oils, but are rather concentrated liquid forms of the plant from which they were extracted. They can be used by massaging directly on the skin or diffusing the oil into the air to allow it to enter the body though the lungs.

Essential oils can be used as singles or blends. Single oil is one specific oil, for instance, marjoram or peppermint oil. Blends are mixtures of two or more single oils.

The way they work?

* Pass easily through our skin and cell membranes
* Diffuse through the entire body within a ½ hour
* Go directly to the brain through the olfactory bulb
* Affect our feelings and thoughts through our sense of smell since it is our most emotional sense
* Perform multiple functions because of their structural complexity

If you are looking for a natural way to cure back pain, I would recommend essential oils as your daily practice to help you ease your aches and pain. All oils bring oxygen to tissue to promote healthy cells. A single oil can benefit you physically, emotionally, and mentally in more than one way or one area of treatment.

Essential Oil Recipe to Treat Back Pain:

* 3 drops clove oil essential oil
* 15 drops of marjoram essential oil
* 10 drops of lavender essential oil
* 15 drops of peppermint essential oil
* 15 drops of wintergreen essential oil
* Sunflower carrier essential oil to dilute

Mix all oils together in a roll on or container of some sort to make a blend. Add sunflower carrier oil to dilute the oils. Massage into skin and begin feeling pain relief.
