Making Aromatherapy Products - Cancer & aromatherapy

Now let's talk about using essential oils in aromatherapies when they have cancer. Now most people when they have cancer they are extremely sensitive to a lot of things that they would not normally be sensitive to. So you always want to make sure if you use any essential oils for someone who has cancers or if you do that you have them smell in the most simple gentle way. Just waft the lid of the container near them, not right under their nose but just near them so they can get a sense of what it smells like and if they don't like it, don't use it, that is just a great rule of thumb in general with essential oils in aromatherapies. So with cancer you can use essential oils to make aromatherapies for nausea, I have made a beautiful nausea blend and it is a mixture of lavender, and some ginger, and some peppermint and some other things and that is profoundly effective if somebody is having serious nausea, you just rub it on the belly and if that is too sensitive you can just rub it on the hands or the feet. A little bit of lemon grass, you can use that in a diffuser like that. It is really good for clearing the air in the room and you can also use it in like a carrier oil. Shingles that is another thing that you can treat. Shingles is something that is really common when someone has cancer and so you can do aromatherapy blends that will help to reduce the shingles and neuropathy and circulation problems, those are very common for someone who has cancer or even someone who is in the hospital, maybe they had a surgery or maybe they are bedridden. Neuropathy is when somebody has extreme tingling in their extremities or they can't really feel their extremities very well and that is a very common side effect for people who have *** and AIDS and also people who have any kind of cancer, it is a side effect from medications generally and so for neuropathy you can make an essential oil blend. You can just do a little bit of peppermint and plain lotion or peppermint and plain massage oil and rub that on the hands and feet and that is really great for perking up the circulation and giving the area a little bit more positive sensation.
