Applications for Lower Abdominal Pain
If your symptoms are serious, recurrent, or increases in severity, be sure to get it checked by a doctor.
Here is how you can naturally treat lower abdominal pain with essential oils.
Blending the Oils
First, blend the essential oils in the following proportions
Essential Oil | Amount |
Thyme linalol | 2 drops |
Eucalyptus radiata | 3 drops |
Cardamom | 3 drops |
Dilute with Carrier Oil
After blending together, dilute them according to the following proportions:
For every 10ml of carrier oil, add 6-10 drops of the blend, depending on the concentration that you prefer. Mix well.
Application
After diluting with the carrier oil, apply in circular motion on the affected area.
Other Effective / Alternative Essential Oils
You may also add a small amount of the following essential oils to the blend that could be helpful in treating this ailment:
geranium, peppermint, rosemary, patchouli, ginger, immortelle, basil linalol, clove bud, majoram sweet
Important Notes
Essential oils are potent and powerful especially due to their concentration.
Be sure not to apply undiluted essential oils to your skin whenever applying topically, unless you are certain that it is safe to do so. Else, always dilute it in a carrier oil such as jojoba oil, castor oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil or other carrier oils.
Also, make sure essential oils are safe to be ingested or applied on open wounds before doing so.
Some essential oils should not be used when pregnant or breast-feeding. Always check with your doctor when unsure. It is also good practice to do a skin patch test on your inner arm to ensure you do not have any reactions to the oils.
