Aromatherapy in the management and treatment of rheumatoid and musculoskeletal autoimmune disorders

Abstract

This initial paper explores in a general way the disorders and the potential help that may be afforded patients by aromatherapy. In most cases, it can be of immense value, even if the patient only attains a relaxed state following an essential oil massage. For the majority of patients, as aromatherapists, we are able to offer good control of many symptoms, alleviation of their physical and emotional problems, and achieve a high level of therapeutic intervention in their multidisciplinary disease management.
