Can Essential Oils Benefit Chronic Illness?
By definition, a chronic illness is one that lasts for more than three months. Chronic illness and diseases become more common with age, and therefore many older adults struggle with one or more of them.
The Most Common Chronic Illnesses
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Stroke
- Cancer (breast, colon)
- Arthritis
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Epilepsy
These chronic illnesses are not only debilitating, they can be costly to manage. Medications to treat symptoms can range in price, but some people have to choose between their medication and other important necessities each month just to feel better.
Hello. Don’t deny science. Don’t use essential oils to heal yourself. Yes, they can be useful but cancer? seriously? Get vaccinated. Go to the doctors.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
Hi everyone!
I had been using EO for years on a diffuser, before was the regular electric fan diffuser and after a few years I’ve found the ones that you put water in it. I have Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and some other illness that comes with this disease. I been reading here of all the people using EO for different illness. Now my question is, any of you have Pets? Dogs, cats? I read that they are very allergic to some oils. I have a small dog and two cats, and I use my diffusers every day. And my pets seems ok with it. Need to know what you all think about this.
Great information
I believe essential oils could help our with chronic pain, it would be worst a try.
I AM TERMINALLY ILL, AND SINCE I DISCOVERED THE ORGANIC AROMAS NEBULIZER DIFFUSER I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT MY SYMPTOMS HAVE LESSENED AND I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.
I USE EUCALYPTUS / PINE / CAJUPUT / CLOVE / MINT / JUNIPER BERRY MAINLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE WONDERFUL DEVICES !!
Essential oils WILL help me cope with my chronic pain – I am sure!
I would love to see if they do help.
To think we had natural helpful minerals and more right in our spice racks! Plus they cost less than the prescription we are on!
I use the oil of oregano a lot. It really helps with colds.
I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and I can attest that essential oils and using the diffuser have been very helpful. I use doterra Lavender or Soothing Blend that has lavender; it’s not too strong or weak, it’s very calming and helps me to relax and lighten my mood. Although I have to take my medication, being productive with my businesses, getting out of the house on occasion helps ease my depression symptoms. I recommend using essential oils. Also, if it’s in your budget, I highly recommend the book, The Essential Life. It lists all the essential oils for what ailment you have.
I have read up on these oils & believe they can do what is stated
This sounds wonderful. I need to try these.
Mam jeden z Państwa dyfuzorów. Jest rewelacyjny. Dzięki konstrukcji i specyficznemu mechanizmowi mam pewność, że nie wpływa on na właściwości naturalnych olejków eterycznych, których używam. Od czasu zakupu nebulizatora dorobiłam:) się już trzech szklanych zbiorniczków i podstawka do nich.
Yes they probably help out a lot.
Thank you for this interesting post. I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain in my hips as well as migraines and have used essential oils successfully to help with these health issues.
I’ve been using a few essential oils but really want to expand. I’m especially interested in using Pine for my arthritis.

I have used peppermint and wintergreen to help with the nausea from migraine attacks and found it helpful. Must try pine to see if it helps with my arthritis and the related fatigue, depression and anxiety.
i believe they can help.
EOs are useful for many things, like pain relief and relaxation, but how do they heal cancer other than indirectly supporting the immune system by aiding in relaxation and helping to ease pain?
GOOD INFORMATION TO KNOW
I didn’t know about Wintergreen for pain! My husband has severe chronic back pain and I am going to look into that! Thank you!
