How to Quell Pain from Arthritis with Essential Oils - easy recipe

My friend's husband is on his second hip replacement and 6th surgery in 14 years (knees have been done too). He has severe osteoarthritis in his hip - bone on bone with no cartillage. He can barely move.

Here was an extremely active guy in his younger years - a runner, hiker, traveler, DIY everything type of guy. Now, he is anxiously awaiting January for his next surgery.

So, I looked up in my aromatherapy and essential oils resource books (bibles for me) some different oils and techniques to alievate the pain.

We came up with a 2 ml vial of essential oils of Rosemary, Ginger, Camphor, and Lavender. I suggested her husband take a bath with 2 cups of epsom salt with some sea or himalyan salt and 10-12 drops from the vial.

The results were stunning. The relaxing bath and choice of oils contributed to a succesful experience.
