Is There a Natural Way to Overcome the Problems Associated with Arthritis?
Today, many clients who are visiting a day spa have autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia or arthritis. These health conditions are caused by the body producing antibodies that attack its own tissues such as the muscles, cartilage or blood vessels, leading to an assortment of symptoms such as fatigue and pain. While taking prescription medications from physicians is helpful for autoimmune disorders, you can also request a spa treatment from an esthetician at a day spa.
Seven Essential Oils Used for Treating an Autoimmune Condition
Massage therapy is a great spa treatment for a variety of health problems, and you can talk to an esthetician about the best bodywork for your medical issue. At the same time, a licensed massage therapist can use aromatherapy to help you feel better. There are several types of essential oils that are recommended for relieving the symptoms of autoimmune disorders, including:
• Chamomile - contains antioxidant properties to boost your body's immune system
• Juniper berry – relieves the pain from arthritic conditions such as gout
• Ginger – offers anti-inflammatory properties
• Cypress – aids in the release of toxins from your body
• Clary sage – can reduce the number of bacteria on your skin
• Cinnamon – reduces inflammation and discomfort
• Eucalyptus – can reduce swelling in the body’s soft tissues and joints
Essential oils are derived from a variety of plants, and the fragrant stems, petals, and leaves of these plants are used to make the oils that are added to aromatherapy products such as creams, soaps, lotions, and emollient serums. A licensed massage therapist at a day spa can apply an aromatic product during your bodywork, or an esthetician can burn a scented candle while you are receiving a spa treatment such as a facial or body wrap.
