Essential Oil Education

Headaches are a common symptom of fibromyalgia. In fact, more than 50% of people whith fibromyalgia suffer from constant headaches or migraines. There are a number of interesting theories as to why people with fibromyalgia suffer from so many headaches. Many of these theories rest on the the idea that the same dysfunction that causes fibromyalgia also causes migraine headaches.

Some Causes Incude:

• Sleep Disorders
• TMJ disorder
• Low levels of serotonin
• Low levels of magnesium

Headaches can make fibromyalgia pain much more intesnse. They tend to increase fatigue, making pain much more difficult to tolerate. 36% of fibromyalgia sufferers with chronic migraines experience greater levels of depression and pain in their illness.

How Can Essential Oils Relieve Headaches Associated with Fibromyalgia?

You can use lavender, marjoram, petitgrain, Roman and German Chamomile, clary sage, lemongrass, helichrysum, peppermint, ginger and black pepper. Also try other anti-inflammatory oils like nutmeg, balsam fir, white fir, and wintergreen. There are a number of blends I have found helpful for those with fibromyalgia headaches: PanAway, Relieve It, ImmuPower and Ortho Ease massage oil. You can boost the power of these oil blends by layering peppermint on top.

Fibromyalgia is indeed a debilitating disease brought on by a toxic liver. Cleaning up the body is the first step by to health and many supplements that have essential oils in them can help.

How to Uses the Oils:

You can diffuse them, rub them neat on the neck, temples, forehead, you can dilute them for a body massage, use them in a soothing bath. Some of these oils can be taken internally but I would adivse first learning more about the individual oil, its chemistry and its healing properties.
