The
healing process explained
Healing is about more than cure.
While it is important for tissue to heal, for bones to knit and
for regeneration to take place, healing also occurs on a
deep emotional level. In order to heal, we also need to
be nurtured, to feel safe and loved and to be cared for. We need
to put aside our worries and stresses and focus inward in order to
harness the natural ability of the body to heal
itself. The best healers are those who are able to nurture their
own spirit and release the healing process from inside.
How can natural
remedies help?
Natural remedies have a big role to
play in healing after injury of any kind. Herbal medicines have
been used for centuries to help repair broken bones, torn and
sprained muscles, internal and external bruising and injuries of
all types.
Ongoing pain and stiffness due to
conditions like arthritis, rheumatism and sports related injuries
respond well to natural intervention without the side
effects commonly associated with the prescription drugs.
Aromatherapy is a holistic
form of treatment which uses concentrated extractions
from a wide range of plants in order to effect and assist with
healing. Therapeutic massage using carefully selected aromatherapy
oils brings the important soothing element of touch
to the healing process.
Not only does this help us to feel
good, but it also helps to release endorphins and other pain
relieving chemicals in our body, thereby bringing relief. Massage
also promotes the flow of oxygen rich blood to the affected areas,
thereby speeding up the healing process. In
addition, the therapeutic aromas enter the system through the
sense of smell and stimulate areas of the brain, assisting with
relaxation and pain relief and facilitating the healing process.
Along with massage, one can also
burn the oils in a special oil burner for further
benefit. The area of the brain which interprets smell is very
close to the area that processes emotions. Aromatherapeutic oils
therefore work very effectively on the emotional level - a crucial
factor in any healing process.
Aromatherapeutic oils may be used
along with conventional medicines to reduce the
need for prescription painkillers, anti-inflammatories, etc.
What
are the ingredients of RealHeal
Massage Oil?
RealHeal Massage Oil contains only
100% pure aromatherapy oils in a natural carrier
base:
Peppermint Essential Oil:
Peppermint has many therapeutic uses and may be used for a wide
variety of conditions including respiratory and digestive
conditions as well as musculo-skeletal pain. Used in massage,
peppermint has strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
and also assists in promoting blood flow to the affected areas. On
the emotional level, the aroma of peppermint oil will relax and
refresh the mind as well as the body, helping to uplift the
spirits and restore courage and mental focus.
Ginger
Essential Oil: Obtained from the
root of the ginger plant, ginger, like peppermint, is a highly
versatile medicinal plant with thousands of years of therapeutic
history. The oil is warming and toning and has particular
application to all musculo-skeletal conditions, soothing pains and
aches and also helping to reduce fever. Inhalation of ginger also
helps to boost tired spirits and strengthen resolve.
Pine
Essential Oil: In traditional
herbal medicine, the shoots of young pine trees were used during
bathing to treat rheumatism, promote circulation and relieve
nervous fatigue. Therapeutically, pine essential oil is very
effective in relieving the pain caused by conditions such as
arthritis, rheumatism and gout and promotes circulation. Strongly
recommended in the treatment of post surgical or post illness
fatigue, pine oil is refreshing and helps to lift the spirits.
Carrier
base consists of arachis, wheatgerm, almond and grapeseed oil.
These carrier oils are also chosen for their nourishing and
healing properties.
(RealHeal Massage Oil contains
no synthetic ingredients and is manufactured according to strict
aromatherapeutic principles for therapeutic use.)
How has
RealHeal helped others?
"This massage
oil works well for me with my aches and pains. As you said, I
don't have to use my painkillers as much and the oil is very
soothing and relaxing!"- Shari
"I had bruising
all over after an accident and the Realheal Oil
was marvelous for the pain and the bruises disappeared in record
time. A few months later I developed a painful neck and remembered
the oil I still had in my bathroom. My wife massaged my neck
before bed and the next morning the pain was gone. I will always
keep some of this product on hand!"-
Brent P.
"Fortunately my
sister bought me a bottle of your RealHeal Massage Oil
for my frozen shoulder. It has been a great relief and with gentle
massage every night I can begin to move it again. Best of all is I
get some sleep after the massage instead of tossing and turning
all night trying to avoid lying on my shoulder! Thanks a lot!"-

How do
I use RealHeal Massage Oil?
With aromatherapy, a little goes a
long way! RealHeal Massage Oil may be self applied or (even
better) massaged on by someone else. Pour a little into the palm
of the hand and rub together to warm the oil.
For
postoperative and postnatal use, or for use on bruises:
massage should be gentle and applied slowly
with the palm of the flat hand.
For
arthritis, rheumatic conditions or muscular aches and pains:
some pressure may be applied in order to reach deep into the
muscle fiber. At no point should pressure be strong enough to
inflict any pain and it is important that this be a relaxing and
positive experience.
Use twice daily or
more often if required.
Caution: May
be used from the age of 3 years. However, safety during pregnancy
and breastfeeding has not been established. Contains groundnut
oils and is therefore not recommended for people with nut
allergies. RealHeal Massage Oil should not be used on open
wounds or cuts.
Note:
For even better results, use with
RealHeal Tablets or
JointEase Plus.
How long till I
see results?
Immediate relief
is usually obtained during massage. With frequent use, healing
should be greatly facilitated.
For those treating arthritis and
rheumatic conditions, regular use should help to
minimize reliance on pain and anti-inflammatory medication as well
as reduce the frequency, duration and severity of pain.
How long does
one bottle last?
One bottle of RealHeal Massage Oil
should last approximately 3 weeks, depending on
frequency of use.
