Despite our best efforts, those of us who experience digestive unease caused by food, really do pay the price physically. Flare-ups can be exhausting and painful. I’ve discovered that aromatherapy can really help when I can feel a bout coming on. Maybe this practice can help you too.
Essential oils are fabulous, but you need the right ones for this specific problem. (Intestinal angst.) Fennel, peppermint, ginger, and chamomile all can help relieve some pain and bloating. They are anti-inflammatory, and naturally aid the digestive process. You can place a few drops in water and drink it, rub a few drops onto your stomach and massage it in a clock-wise motion to stimulate better digestion, shake some into a warm bath, or simply shake a couple of drops onto one wrist, rub your wrists together, and just sit back, close your eyes, and breathe deep in and out of your nose.
It’s important to know that when you are purchasing these oils, they should be pure and organic- generally good quality, with no added chemicals, I buy mine at Sage Natural Wellness.
Happy Wednesday!
