Please login to reply. admin (Admin) Admin Posts: 43   Re:aromatherapy and arthritis? by admin 11 Months ago Although there is no scientific evidence that aromatherapy is effective in the treatment of arthritis, it is used. Aromatherapy blends for the treatment of arthritis are usually made from pure essential oils, but also from hydrosols and -- more recently -- phytols. For application to the skin they have to be mixed with vegetable oil, a cream _base_ or a carrier lotion. Essential Oils must always be used diluted when applied to the skin. A dilution of 3% essential oils in 97% _base_ is generally regarded as very effective and safe. Some of the more suitable arthritis oils are Lavender, Juniper, Thyme, Rosemary, Benzoe, Eucalyptus, Camomile, Pine Scotch, Camphor, Angelica Root, Ginger, Origanum, Black Pepper and Lemon.
