Speaker: David Crow, LAc One of the safest and most effective ways of using essential oils is in aromatic preparations for external applications, which make them a primary treatment for musculoskeletal conditions when combined with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antispasmodic herbs. Herbs and essential oils, although not as powerful as prescription medications, can offer great relief when combined and used properly. Learn the most important herbs and oils to help relieve musculoskeletal pain and inflammation; the pro-inflammatory nature of essential oils and how to safely use them for anti-inflammatory purposes; the best combinations for protecting the joints; what types of pain respond best; and how to use herbs and oils with other treatment modalities. Includes formulas for soft tissue injuries, sprains, strains, whiplash, muscle spasm, arthritic pain, and fibromyalgia. Catalog Number 20ME03
