Alleviate Heel Pain with Aromatherapy
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

Do you know……. Heel pain can result from variety of conditions, like; Plantar Fasciitis, Haglund’s Deformity, Achilles tendonitis, etc.

Plantar Fasciitis

Our feet is the most neglected part of our body, while they deserve lot of pampering, because our feet carry our weight (light or heavy) day after day without any vacation except for the night time when most of us are in bed sleeping or if we are sick. We cram our feet into tight socks, gym shoes, and pinching high heels, or standing around chatting-working, or walking to class-work-to the car, or running to catch a train-bus, or exercising, etc., etc. Energetically the feet represent our connection with earth and rooting us to mother nature, the sense of being grounded.

Many people experience heel pain with first few steps in the morning due to Plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a thick connective tissue running across the sole of the foot. Tenderness usually subsides with movement, however being in motion for too long and getting up from the chair can trigger discomfort once again. Overweight people or those being flat-footed or having a high arch or abnormal walking pattern or wearing ill-fitted footwear may face foot problems more.

Haglund’s deformity (pump bump) is a bony enlargement on the back of the heel near the Achilles tendon that becomes irritated when the bony enlargement rubs against shoes and often leads to painful bursitis between the tendon and bone. This condition is usually caused by wearing shoes that are too tight or stiff in the heel or pump-style high heels.

The Achilles tendon is a thick tendon located in the back of the leg attaches to the upper part of the heel. Inflammation of this tendon (generally seen in athletes or overactive people) causes swelling, soreness, and tightness.

Heel Pain

Inflammation is the root cause of many diseases including heel pain. Generally, people try to find the easiest solution to this problem by popping a painkiller, however synthetic analgesics have a list of side effects. Medical experts suggest, plantar fasciitis can be improved or reversed with simple foot stretches and leg exercises, heel lifts, icing that will increase the flexibility and strength of feet.

Our priority should be to restore the health of our feet. A great safe way to reduce tenderness, inflammation of feet, and improve blood circulation would be with Aromatherapy using Essential oils. Since centuries, Essential Oils have been utilized in cosmetics, fragrances, for healing, health remedies, and as an antiseptic. These Essential Oils are natural, volatile, liquid, concentrated extracts taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants and should be diluted for a safe topical application following an expert advice and all safety rules. This does not mean that essential oils are proven cure for Plantar Fasciitis, but it is easy to understand potential benefits of essential oils and the powerful mind-body connection. If you find relief and calmness from using essential oils, feel free to continue using them. Best essential oils to relieve heel pain are: Lavender, Bergamot, Basil, Peppermint, Ginger, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Frankincense.

Friendly Ergonomic Home Office
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Do you know……… A recent study found that in U.S.A., at least 1 in 4 people are working from home and have children learning from home due to Covid-19 outbreak. As remote work and distance learning has become a new norm, it is important to set up an

             Healthy Home Office

ergonomically friendly, healthy home office for optimum efficiency. Productivity is the foundation of a successful workday. Therefore, people should get away from the couch or bed and set up an affordable workstation at a desk or table as well as proper study area for children to avoid aches, pains, carpal tunnel syndrome, eyes strain, neck sprain, and leg cramps. According to occupational therapists and physical therapists, following are the important steps to protect health from the dangers of sitting in wrong posture or sitting too long at a desk:

Chair: Finding a chair that has good lumbar support, adjustable height and adjustable armrests. Can use a small pillow or a rolled up towel placed between the lower back and chair for necessary lumbar support. Chair should be set so feet is flat on the floor with hips and knees at a 90-degree angle. For younger children or if the user’s feet do not reach the floor, a footrest or a footstool can be used.

Computer screen: Should be aligned properly with the screen. Ideally, screen should be an arm’s length away with the top of the screen at or slightly below eye level, so not constantly looking down at it.

Desk or table: Desk or table should be tall enough so to have clearance for legs and knees. Adjust chair height so arms can rest comfortably on top of the table. An adjustable sit-to-stand desk could be a good option as standing helps take pressure off spine and can help prevent strain on back.

Keyboard: Keep keyboard and mouse close by so you don’t have to stretch your arms too far for them. When using your keyboard, keep your wrists straight and your elbows slightly bent.

Taking break: Try taking a break every hour or so. Get up from chair and take a quick walk or do some quick spot exercises to increase blood circulation, avoid leg cramps. While sitting in your chair, try some shoulder rolls, deep breathing. 

Staring at a screen can leave eyes feeling tired or dry. Focus on a distant object to help eye muscles relax every 20 minutes. Adjust computer settings; brightness, background color, and font size can also help make time in front of the screen easier on eyes.

Phone: If using a phone, try to install a head set or use speaker phone function if possible.

Aromatherapy: Incorporate aromatherapy using essential oils to reduce the stress and uplift mood together with increased concentration, freshness, and therapeutic benefits.

Uplifting, Gp-to Freshness Blend:

          Essential Oil Uplifting Blend

15 drops Spearmint or Peppermint Essential oil

15 drops Grapefruit Essential oil

10 drops Bergamot Essential oil

8 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

Essential Oil for Frostbite

Posted on November 2, 2020 by in DIY Essential Oil Blend for Frostbite

DIY Essential Oil Blend for Frostbite
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.

Do you know…… Frostbite causes the skin to become cold, pale, and numb from poor circulation after exposure to the cold. People living in colder climate where temperature drops beyond zero degrees or when people are engaged in winter sports activities, or mountaineering could get frostbite. Frostbite occurs as result of lengthy exposure of skin to extreme cold (freezing) that damages the blood vessels and tissues due to poor blood circulation. This commonly affects extremities (fingers, toes), nose, ears, where extreme cold alters blood circulation and causes burning or itching sensation, hardening, numbness, purplish-red skin, swelling, pain, and sometimes resulting in gangrene. Children and elderly suffering from bad blood circulation or by the Raynaud’s disease, are most susceptible to the effects of cold.

Frostbite occurs in several stages. The signs and symptoms of frostbite depend on the extent and depth of tissue injury:

Frostbite Stages

Frostnip: is a mild form of frostbite leads to numbness in the affected area, may feel pain and tingling. Frostnip does not permanently damage the skin.

Superficial frostbite: appears as reddened skin that turns white or pale. Skin may begin to feel warm, a sign of serious skin involvement. If treat frostbite with rewarming at this stage, the surface of skin may appear mottled. May notice stinging-burning and swelling. A fluid-filled blister may appear 12 to 36 hours after rewarming the skin.

Deep (severe) frostbite: advanced frostbite exposure affects all layers of the skin, including the underlying tissues. Skin turns white or bluish gray, may experience numbness, losing all sensation of cold, pain or discomfort in the affected area. Joints or muscles may no longer work. Large blisters from 24 to 48 hours after rewarming. Later the affected area turns black and hard as the tissue dies, subsequently Gangrene can develop, placing the individual at high-risk for infection and may also necessitate amputation.

Mild to medium frostbite can be treated quite easily and may take 5-10 days to heal completely. However, severe frostbite, hypothermia (a condition in which body loses heat faster than it can be produced) needs immediate emergency medical attention. Signs and symptoms of hypothermia include: intense shivering, slurred speech, drowsiness and loss of coordination. While waiting for emergency medical help or a doctor’s appointment, take appropriate self-care measures of protecting the affected area from further cold, not walking on frostbitten feet.

There are many natural cures together with aromatherapy (use of essential oils) for mild to medium frostbite to help warm up and soothe pain from the cold:

First and foremost, wear appropriate clothing in severe weather to stay warm; thick wool socks, gloves with liners, heavy or down jacket, scarf, hat, etc
Dehydration is a result as well as a contributory factor to frostbite. Replenish body fluids and restore the salt and sugar balance by drinking plenty of fluids.
Almonds, soak 5-6 almonds overnight, in the morning grind with Aloe Vera to make a paste and apply on affected areas. Almonds are rich in Vitamin E which our body requires for repairing and growing new tissue.
Ginger, fresh Ginger regulates healthy blood circulation and help the blood in reaching the peripheral parts of the body. Prepare some fresh ginger tea and drink warm with honey or can consume some crushed fresh ginger with honey. Honey is also an anti-bacterial and will prevent from infection.

Essential Oils, are aromatic, volatile, therapeutic, liquid concentrate, extracted and distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, and/or other parts of a plant. Essential Oils can be inhaled, or applied topically with proper dilution on wrist, neck, temple, or can be used in diffuser. For frostbite can use: Pine, Cypress. Lavender, Tea tree, Clove, Thyme, Frankincense Essential oils
Soothing Frostbite Essential Oil Blend
4 drops Lavender Essential oil
4 drops Cypress Essential Oil
2 drops Geranium Essential oil
4 drops Vit E
5 ml Olive Oil or Jojoba Oil or Grape Seed Carrier Oil
Add essential oils in a 5ml dark Euro Glass vial, fill with carrier oil, mix well, close, and label. When get that aching cold frostbite from being outside, immediately go inside, apply 5-6 drops of essential oil blend to the affected area, rubbing very gently without damaging the tissue any further and restoring the circulation. Apply 2-3x daily until the pain and redness subsides. Seek medical help.
