aromatherapy <\/a>and massage have potent therapeutic effects in patients who are dealing with the effects of cerebral palsy. Patients with CP suffer from tight muscles, as well as muscular, skeletal, and joint pain incurred as a result of lagging development brought about by the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAromatherapy involves the use of essential oils, combined with massage, to relieve pain in CP patients. Essential oils are concentrated extracts from fruits, herbs, and flowers. These oils contain the polyphenol antioxidants and nutrients that give the plants their unique visual and medicinal properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run your child a hot bath and add a cup of Epsom salts to the water, along with a few drops of lavender and chamomile essential oils. Your child breathes in the medicated steam, providing the nervous system with a nervine effect that induces calmness in the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run a diffuser overnight in their bedroom, with the same essential oils added into the water. The child breathes in the steam as they sleep, helping the nervous system recover from the stress of the day while relaxing the muscular system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
