Roman Lavender
Lavender originally came from countries in western Europe. It is known for its distinct color and scent. This purple flower may become popular due to its aesthetics, but it also has numerous medical benefits. In ancient times, lavender was used in the Egyptians’ mummification process. Nowadays, lavender reduces disease symptoms and enhances the body’s health. This is possible due to the plant extract it produces. In addition, it contains pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.
A massage accompanied by aromatherapy helps reduce neuropathy symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling sensation, and burning feeling. The result of the therapy will gradually take effect on the body after two to four weeks. But when the lavender is used for aromatherapy, it may aid faster than other essential oil. Aside from these, lavender can also help with the sleeping problems of persons with neuropathy. It conveys relaxation while reducing the pain from the damaged nerves and fibers. This benefit is possible due to the anti-inflammatory properties of lavender. The blood vessel may loosen, prompting the nerves to relax and prevent further damage. Using lavender as a treatment will not only ease neuropathy symptoms but also can prevent a person from developing the disease.
