aromatherapy oilSometimes I have a problem with one of my shoulders. I get a lot of pain in one side of the neck and one shoulder. This pain can shoot down my arm too and cause a feeling of weakness. When this happens to my shoulder and neck my husband massages both gently with relaxing aromatherapy oil. These aromatherapy oil massages do not make the pain go away completely, but they do offer a measure of relief.
Sometimes I use aromatherapy oil to massage my husband’s back. He doesn’t have a funny shoulder and neck like me. However my husband often gets a sore lower back because he does a lot of manual work in and around our home. Sometimes I use aromatherapy oil to massage my husband’s lower back because if I don’t he will feel stiff when he wakes up the next morning.
To me giving each other massages with aromatherapy oil in order to get rid of aches and pains is an ordinary and very natural part of married life. After all if your husband or wife can’t rub your back for you when it hurts, who can?
