I took Epson salt baths which I felt helped a little. I also read that mustard oil or mustard baths help muscles and joints feel better and heal faster. I never tried aromatherapy though…

Aroma means scent, and therapy means treatment. Aromatherapy, then, is the use of the fragrant parts of aromatic plants to improve your health and general well-being. Essential oils, the fragrant, concentrated liquids extracted from the flowers, leaves, roots, bark, and fruit of an aromatic plant, are the main ingredients in aromatherapy treatments.
Aromatherapy has many benefits. Inhaling the appropriate fragrance can reduce stress, lift a depression, hasten a good night’s sleep, soothe your soul, or give you more energy.

Massaging aromatic oils into your skin is another way to benefit from aromatherapy. That’s because essential oils, offer a multitude of healing benefits in addition to their individual scents.

Aromatherapy is very versatile and can be used in many different ways to treat a wide range of physical and emotional problems.
