Step 15 - Essential Oils and Muscle Support

 

 

broken image

Some children with special needs, such as those with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis or other conditions that affect the muscles and mobility, may experience numbness, discomfort, or poor circulation. 

Essential Oils can be used to ease muscle and joint discomfort, improve circulation and in some cases, to even increase mobility! 

These oils include:

Wintergreen

Peppermint

Lemongrass

AromaTouch Blend

Deep Blue Blend

The DEEP BLUE BLEND is perfect for a soothing massage. Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus work together to soothe and cool.  A few drops of Soothing Blend diluted in Fractionated Coconut Oil can be part of a cooling and comforting massage.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Dilute DEEP BLUE BLEND in Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply to muscles that are in need of support. Use kneading and circular motions to soothe the muscles and increase blood flow to the area. This is a wonderful way to connect with and care for your child!
