DIABETES OILS

[AbukexM]

Hi there everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one. I had a lady come as part of my assesments for aroma massage. She had been on the Atkins diet and felt very tired, lacked concentration, couldn't sleep well, was low in energy and felt light headed. I was told this was due to low blood sugar but i couldn't find any oil for this in the info i had with me. However since i looked it up i couldn't find anything anyway. I was suprised as i couldn't find anything on diabetes either. I don't think the oils would be used to alter the sugar levels by a great degree but i would of thought there might be oils to balance. Another worry for me is that i don't know if any oils would be contra indicated for this condition. . Anyway if anyone could help i would be interested to hear what you think
Helen

Hi i'm quite new to this so he goes anyway, when i was in college practising massage, my client had Diabetes, we had to get gp permission to do massage treatments on her, she had to check her sugar levels before and after her massage, sometimes it was lower than before the treatment, we did not treat for the Diabetes but for other symptoms she had. Hope this helps in some way..

Hi Sully

I have listed below a few oils that might be useful for diabetics
Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Ginger, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Pine, Red Thyme, Sweet Thyme, Vetiver and Ylang Ylang

Valerie Ann Worwood gives these combinations in her book The Fragrant Pharmacy. Please do bear in mind though that all her recipes use vast quantities of essential oils. Probably best to half or even quarter the quantities.

Feet, legs, hands and arms massage formula:
10 drops of Geranium, 10 drops of Ginger and 10 drops of Cypress in 30ml carrier oil

Body Massage:
3 drops of Lavender, 12 drops of Geranium, 5 drops of Eucalyptus Peppermint, 5 drops of Eucalyptus Blue and 5 drops of Ginger.

Hope this helps
