AROMATHERAPY

Irridation Formula

The base oil that you use for this treatment is very important. Vegetables oils will do, but much better options are Vinca and Marigold. The Periwinkle, from which Vinca is made, is known to contain certain alkaloids which in some cases can supress the cancerous cells when taken in the form of drugs. If you have the plant in your garden make an infused oil. If you do not have a fresh supply of the periwinkle plant a good herbalist usually has a supply of dried plant matter.

A second option is marigold -infused oil. This shouldn't be Tagetes  - The African marigold - but just the humble old garden marigold.
apply the oil once a day to skin that is absolutely clean and dry. Cover the whole torso, including the lower back and abdomen, and pay particular attention to the trauma area. In the case of the uterus, rub well into the tummy; in the case of breast cancer, into the breasts and so on.

Try to start using the oils at least two to three weeks before the irridation treatment is to begin. Sometimes one isn't given an exact date, so start as soon as you are told you are having treatment so that you are prepared even if you are called to the hospital without warning. Don't use it on the days of treatment but use it in-between for at least a month after your last irridation treatment.

For any loss of hair due to cancer treatment, help can be given by daily massage of the scalp with jojoba oil. When the hair grows again it will be lush and thick.

Treatment with essential oils will not conflict with the treatment given by your doctors. You should not neglect to visit your doctorfor a referral to specialist in the field relevant to your condition. Complementary treatments should be that - complementary.

However, there are many things you can do to help yourself and I would suggest that you get in touch with the Bristol cancer Centre for information on ways to fight cancer with dietary therapy and relaxation methods. This means eating properly and alleviating stress whenever possible. Increase your dose of vitamin C, avoid using commercial chemical body and food preparations, and assume a natural lifestyle as you can manage.
