Aromatherapy for the Runner

Hello,welcome to you.Do you do a good jog? For me this week was made up of biking and swimming, no jogging, no training, no running

Why ? Are you currently thinking and I answer you by saying so I am bleeding in my right leg: it’s a tibial periostitis (bone membrane inflammation).The dolor is very very horrible and I can’t run but I can ride a bike and go to the swimming pool (That it good for my future triathlon competition)

But today the topic of my first article wich talk about Aromatherapy in order to cure my leg

In fact I knead my leg everyday with essentials oils.

My cousin is a pharmaceutical assistant specialized in aromatherapy and she talks to me about this science to improve the cure of my leg.I have decided to try this with also a classical medical consultation, kinesitherapy sessions and the wearing of orthopedic foot print

Today everybody know the aromatherapy and more and more people practice it in institute or in their house to cure their dolor, or boost their shape or have a better rest.In my case I had always thought before to start the cure some questions:

• What is the effective degrees?
• Can it answer every needs an athlete have?
• Can it replace traditional medicine and pharmaceuticals?

To answer those, I have sacrificed myself to have a real point of view about the capacity of cure of this science 

Before testing the different oils and look their effects, we will look the point of view of the science:

A SCIENCE

The aromatherapy has been practiced during milleniums in a way intuitively and experimental. Nowodays the practice is standardized and have became scientific.

Aromathérapy, as the majority of human science is connected with other sciences: 

The botanical science is used to recognize what plant produce what effect,

The chemical science will study the molecule which is produce 

The biology finally allow to understand what are the effects produce in the human organize

Moment study and personnalisation because each individu is different ans probably will not support every product and every dose

ADVANTAGES OF ESSENTIALS OILS

INCONVENIENTS OF ESSENTIALS OILS

• Each people will not be able to accept every products
• The self-medication has a big cost (25 euros the flask)
• It is very important to have a minimal knowledges in what produce we put in our skin cause although mixed are virtuous but it is not recommended to empty your first aid kit!
• Finally this practice is to ban in case of proximity with children, pregnant woman, epileptic people

THE DOSES

5 % FOR THE BATH
A FEW DROPS FOR THE DIFFUSION

Essentials oils had to be diluted in traditional oil (olive,…).Watch to not put too much oil cause you will have problems after to spread the produce in your body

THE PEPPERMINT: It is a good stimulating in order to fight against tiredness.It is also a good analgesic against trauma.At last it allows to give a cold sensation in the skin 

Here this article is finish.In my case I am trying to knead my leg everyday during 7 days with thats oils .I will write another article next week to put my verdict to this science to give my opinion

Waiting that , I will let you with my informations sources if you want to learn about the other different oil and I will say you see you soon
