Essential Oils: Circulatory System Conditions
The circulatory system plays an important role in the proper functioning of all the organs, most importantly the heart. Having poor circulation can manifest in multiple ways including low energy, poor skin tone, cold extremities, leg cramps, numbness, and follow up with more serious conditions such as heart disease. As an aromatherapist, you will have clients ask you about problems such as circulatory complaints, high blood pressure, or low blood pressure. Creating an essential oil blend for your circulation is one of the best natural ways to stimulate blood flow and assist the body with healing itself.
Several essential oils can have a direct influence on the circulatory system, including increasing blood flow. Since essential oils are easily absorbed through the skin into the mucous membranes, possible treatments include a compress over the heart, back massage over the dorsal region, or an aromatic bath. Creating an essential oil blend and adding to a bath can be highly beneficial as an aid for your circulation. There are many oils to choose from including Juniper Berry, Ginger, Sandalwood, and Peppermint. Other oils such as Cypress, Geranium, Frankincense, and Lemon act as astringents toning the vessels. Grapefruit essential oil is known to behave as a tonic as well as angelica and hyssop and stimulant for the circulatory system. For combating the constriction of the veins try Cypress, and for stimulating and to warm the circulation, oils such as benzoin, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, marjoram, and nutmeg work well. To reduce spasms of the heart, try melissa, neroli, orange, and rose essential oils.
