Aromatherapy To Cure Constipation

May 20, 2009


The therapy that uses oil extracts from plants and seeds to cure ailments and emotional disorders is known as Aromatherapy.

When the waste products in your abdomen are unable to move at its regular pace and are painfully eliminated it is known as constipation. Some people suffer from chronic constipation. This is dangerous especially for pregnant women. In the case of constipation, essential oils are used to stimulate activity in the abdomen and promote peristalsis thus promoting digestion in the downward movement.

To cure constipation you first need to choose base oil that suits your skin type and the temperature of your body. This oil needs to e blended with the essential oils to be used in several procedures to aid the cure.

When you are constipated there is interference and congestion in your digestive tract. You must use oils that will help to promote activity in this area thereby helping to eliminate the waste from your system.

Blend rosemary, lavender and other citrus based oils in a blue or brown bottle and let it stay in the bottle for a few hours. Pour a few drops of the oil into your bath water and soak yourself in it to help to aid stimulation in your stomach.

When you get out of the bath, use the blend of the oil in a massage in circular patterns on your abdomen. Apply pressure gently on this area and then after few minutes start massaging it downwards from your chest.

Brew tea with lemongrass and ginger. The lemongrass will help to control cramps in your stomach and help in the elimination process. Before drinking the tea take a few deep breaths of the tea so that the aromas enter deep into your system.

The last step is to get a foot massage with rosemary or peppermint oils to help to fasten the elimination of waste. Apply pressure on the ankle and the heels.
