Essential Oil Education

Complementary medicine actually holds more promise for fibromyalgia sufferers than traditional allopathic medicine. This is a disease that affects body/mind/spirit and needs to be treated as such. The benefits of complementary medicine is actually the fact that it does not include pharamaceutical interventioins or surgery which both have serious side effects and do nothing for this problem. Energy medicine which can include many modalities and aromatherapy can decrease and even eliminate most symptoms.

Lemon essential oil can help. Try putting a few drops of lemon oil in your water and drinking only lemon water. Next, look at your symptoms and use essential oils for each symptom.
