Part I. Cystitis
Aromatherapy can be used as a natural and effective method for the relief of cystitis,
A. Massage for the lower abdomen
Compositions:
For 5 ml of the basic oil(s);
- 1 drop each of lavender, chamomile and bergamot
- 1 drop each of lavender, chamomile and sandalwood
Application:
Drop essential oils of the chosen composition into the basic oil(s). Massage the lower abdomen over the bladder area in a clockwise motion. If you are applying before bedtime place, а wool scarf, piece of material or small towel over the massaged area.
B. Hot compress
Composition:
5-6 drops of chamomile and 3 drops of tea tree, or sandalwood.
Application:
Drop essential oils of the chosen composition into a bowl of hot water. The water should be hot but not so hot that the compress is uncomfortable on the body. Make a wetting pad using a piece of material, or small towel and place in a bowl of essential oil mixture. Squeeze the cloth and apply to the areas to be treated, rewet as needed. Keep the compress on 20 minutes to 1 hour.
The process is less intense than a massage since it effects the skin and blood circulation only where the compress is placed. It will have a weak and gradual impact. The effects can last from several minutes to several hours, depending on how long the compress is left in place.

- 4 drops of juniper and rosemary and 2 drops of benzoin
