Parkinson’s Recharge with Aromatherapy
“Essential oil” is basically a new name for an old standby, aromatherapy. There’s plenty of research behind this aromatic trend that shows it helps to alleviate some health conditions and may even help fight cancer. We’ve uncovered some ways essential oils can help with Parkinson’s disease.
Essential oils are believed to have beneficial effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Many essential oils are used to treat specific ailments or complaints.
Like herbs and minerals, the FDA does not regulate essential oils. Most medical doctors don’t consider them a valid treatment for what ails you, but those who use them are believers. But check with your doctor first. If you have allergies or anaphylaxis, you’ll probably want to avoid most essential oils. By and large, though, they’re worth a try.
Below is a list of essential oils that might help to ease symptoms of various conditions.
Massage Today suggest these uses of essential oils:

Add frankincense to the anti cancer list. Different kinds tho so look for one with several species. Do terra has a multi species. Also I am not a do Tera representative.
It is Frankincense Resin that is showing in studies that may have anti-cancer properties, not the essential oil, unfortunately. So, those who are looking for help and using essential oil Frankincense may be left disappointed….
The oil is made from the resin. Doterra’s is specifically resin from Boswellia carterii, sacra, papyrifera, and frereana.

interested in essential oils for Parkinson’s induced dyskinesia
copaiba is not in here, yet it is shown to be one of the most effective for Parkinsons and nerve / muscle tremors
tahlia, re: copaiba (I have doTERRA brand), for nervous system and tremors, would it be topical (if so, where and how many drops?) and/or ingested (if so, how many drops?)Thank you.

I also noticed it was omitted from the list. You can actually find people who tried it on YouTube and show how they use it and the results as the film progresses. Specifically search doterra Copaiba and you will find the videos posted. I speak under correction but I think it was 4 drops under the tongue and 2 drops topically where the tremors occur.

I am a doTERRA consultant. However, I don’t care who you buys the oils from as I have seen a lot of people give feedback from using the essential oils. It’s definitely a route to try. I recently have personal experience with getting my mum off painkillers using doTERRA oils … it took a while as she 1. didn’t believe it 2. was suffering with frustration and anger due the recent operations, the mental impact of morphine and drugs and the sudden lack of freedom due to spine ops and possible cancer looming over her.
