Essential Oils: Nervous System Conditions
The nervous system is very multifaceted, affecting every system in the body. Fortunately, conditions such as ADD, Parkinson’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s, sciatica, migraines, and even dementia are very responsive to essential oils.
The effect essential oils have on the various activities of the nervous system shapes a substantial part of aromatherapy. For instance, analgesic oils have the ability to relieve pain because they dampen the activity of the pain-transmitting nerve endings while antispasmodic oils calm the nerves that trigger muscle movement and sedative oils reduce an over-active nervous system. Many of the essential oils such as Bergamot, Chamomile, Lavender, and Marjoram share all of these healing properties and overlap in constituents. Essential oils such as Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Rosemary are both analgesic and antispasmodic. Not unexpectedly, these same oils are the ones most often chosen when making an aromatherapy blend.
Nervine oils that are known to have a beneficial tonic action on the nervous system include Chamomile, Lavender, Clary Sage, Juniper Berry, Marjoram, Melissa, and Rosemary.
