Question
I am suffering from hemmoroids,anal fissures and i do sitz bath. any suggestion if there are any aroma oils or essential oils that would help cure these problems.
Thanks for your time
Hello Chandra - thanks for your question. I would never advise treatment directly onto hemorrhoids using aromatherapy oils as they may be too harsh for delicate skin. You can use soothing oils such as chamomile and galbanum and lavender to heal the external skin and indirectly soothe the internal problem. I would try a plain cream base and add one to two drops each of Lavender and Roman Chamomile. If you can get hold of Galbanum, it is extremely soothing and healing also - again using one to two drops in a cream base.
I would always ask your doctor for advice on direct treatment of the hemorrhoids. I hope this helps a little with your problem, and wish you the best of luck.
Regards
Judy

Expertise
I specialise in the mixing of oils. Every problem has a different solution depending on the underlying causes.A simple headache could be caused for a number of different reasons. Tracking down the origins of a problem is the first step. I can then advise on the correct oils to use,how to buy them and the methods with which they can be applied. I can also recommend other complimentary techniques for self help with many physical and emotional problems. Feel free to ask about: Skin disorders - eczema, psoriasis,atheletes foot Muscular aches and pains - arthritis, neck and shoulder tension. Painkilling - headaches, chronic pain, backache. Digestive disorders - IBS, constipation. Stress - depression, anxiety, grief, anger, concentration. Medicine cupboard - bites, stings, cuts, bruises,burns. Babies and childrens - tummy aches, colds, sleep problems. And many more !
Experience
I have been a qualified aromatherapist for twelve years, working in my own premises as well as mobile visiting. My clients have been varied - ranging from babies to the elderly and sadly,the terminally ill. Whilst many clients simply wish to use aromatherapy to promote a feeling of well being and keep themselves relaxed and healthy - I have had much experience of clients with specific needs. These are just as wide ranging - from skin disorders to back problems on the physical side - to the emotional and spiritual side of things and problems such as coping with grief and bereavement or helping combat anger and stress.
I use a mixture of techniques including reflexology. I believe that aromatherapy is a very simple and natural method of self help that can compliment conventional techniques. I am passionate about passing on safe and sensible advice so that more people feel confident to try aromatherapy for themselves.
Aromatherapy is not always a cure - but it's potency should never be underestimated. It can help, it can be life changing - and it's certainly worth trying
