Analgesics are usually thought of as anything that binds with specific receptors in the central nervous system to block the perception of pain or affect the emotional response to pain. We know that endorphins and enkaphins which are chemical messengers produced in the brain can block pain-they are called the “feel good hormones.”
With that said, can essential oils block pain receptors and/or affect our emotional response to pain and the answer is definitely YES. They are nature’s way of helping us cope with pain whether it originates from muscles, nerves, organs or produced by our emotions. Take for instance muscles.
Something as simple as basil (Ocimum basilicum) essential oil has powerful antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties and is considered a major muscle relaxant.
Marjoram (Origanum majorana) known as the “herb of happiness” by the Romans, is used today for its muscle-soothing properties. It is particularly good for muscle/nerve pain and headaches.
Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) is the best of all when it comes to pain relieving qualities. It is not only a good anticoagulant, it has anesthetic and antispasmodic qualities that make it excellent in relieving deep pain.
We can also not forget the great pain relieving properties of peppermint (Mentha piperita). Because of its high menthol and menthone content, peppermint is good for rheumatism and arthritis, headaches, and back aches. It has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving qualities.
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) has been used for thousands of years as a remedy for pain. Even Hildegard of Bingen, the famous herbalist of the twelfth century used clove for pain. It is famous for its analgesic and anesthetic qualities, and is also anti-inflammatory. Even the American Dental Association recognizes the analgesic properties of clove oil for toothaches.
Here are some other oils used for their analgesic properties-elemi, wintergreen, lavender, black pepper, spruce, Idaho balsam fir. Want to know how to use these oils and many others for pain relief?

The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils (Paperback) $13.43 Explores science’s new biological understanding of essential oils for improved immunity and treatment of degenerative diseases • Explains how essential oils convey the complex natural healing powers of plants, offering scientifically proven advantages over synthetic drugs • Offers revolutionary essential oil treatments to ameliorate the side effects of chemotherapy and other cancer treatments as well as for hepatitis, osteoporosis, liver detoxification, and the prevention of UV damage and melanoma • Presents simple recipes and protocols for strengthening the immune system; for treatment of common ailments, such as colds, flu, herpes, and candida; and for pain management Exploring science’s new biological understanding of essential oils and their advantages over synthetic drugs, renowned aromatherapist Kurt Schnaubelt reveals how the effectiveness of essential oil treatments stems from our common biochemical and cellular heritage with plants. He explains how essential oils preserve a plant’s complex natural life-supporting and immune-building qualities, developed through millions of years of interaction with animals and humans. Reviewing recent research in molecular, cellular, and evolutionary biology, he shows how the multilayered activity of plant essences helps maintain the integrity of our genetic code–the reason why pathogens cannot develop resistance toward essential oils as they do with antibiotics and antivirals–making essential oils a more effective and sustainable form of treatment for a variety of health problems. Laying to rest old arguments over essential oils’ alleged toxicity and whether they can be ingested or used undiluted, Schnaubelt presents simple recipes and protocols for treating and preventing common ailments, such as colds, flu, herpes, and candida, as well as for pain management.

Handbook of Pain Relief in Older Adults (Hardcover) $84.77 The second edition of the Handbook of Pain Relief in Older Adults: An Evidence-Based Approach expands on the first edition by providing a number of timely new features. Most important of these are the revised recommendations from the American Geriatrics Society on prescribing that reflect the many new agents available since the last guidelines were released in 2001. Additionally, concepts such as synergy in prescribing for older adults have been better delineated in this edition. The most salient features of the original edition have been retained and updated, including the full range of approaches for pain assessment and prevention, interventional strategies, guidance on pharmacotherapy and nonpharmacologic pain relief strategies for seniors, preventive analgesia, the role of rehabilitation in sound pain treatment, legal and public policy issues in pain care for seniors, pain management in long-term care, and even the issue of spirituality as an adjunct to pain management. The second edition also includes a new chapter on resources, which includes organizations, internet websites, and guidance on acquiring additional consultation for pain intervention. Of particular interest is an updated discussion of the effect that electronic medical records and internet-based personal health records will have on pain relief in older adults and a new chapter that serves as a resource guide for patients and caregivers trying to navigate the waters of pain relief assistance. This issue has not been addressed substantively in the pain management literature and the ramifications for older adults are particularly poignant. Comprehensive and practical, the Handbook of Pain Relief in Older Adults: An Evidence-Based Approach (Second Edition) is a comprehensive resource with targeted, practical information that will be of vital importance for all clinicians who provide care for seniors. |
