Q&A: Aromatherapy and Poor Circulation

Q: I have circulation problems - will Ginger help?

A: Circulation problems are very common, especially with people whose mobility is limited. Ginger Essential Oil is one of many aromatherapy oils that may help. However, Thyme Essential Oil is actually a stronger and probably more effective oil. You could also try using a few drops of a citrus oil on a hanky or in a burner if you have one but take special care with citrus oils in the bath if you have a sensitive skin.

Potions & Possibilities Heavy Duty Relief Gel (£7.99 for 60g) is also recommended as a circulation stimulant for chronically cold hands and feet.
