Autism and Aromatherapy Cure: Analyze how essential oils help you
Autism has failed yet to come with one simple and official definition, but in spite of that, doctors have categorized this disease as a neurological disorder. The disease is obvious from the birth of the subject, and some people live with autism until old age. Autistic people find it difficult to be in a normal social context, because of the anxiety.
And if you are wondering what do autism and aromatherapy have in common, here is the answer: aromatherapy is able to promote self esteem and calm the subjects, so that they can live an almost normal life. So if you have an autistic child and you dont know what else to do for him, because there is no medical cure for it, you might want to try aromatherapy.
People who suffering autism especially children can react positively with a special treatment of aromatherapy. However this have to be conducted by aromatherapist

Here are some of the best essential oils that can combine autism and aromatherapy, and also what symptoms they affect.
Peppermint is a well known plant, and it best to start using this one, for it must already be familiar for the autistic person. It is a neuro-stimulator and its best used when inhaled. It can stay in the autistics room, and the effects will be visible within the nest two days.

It has been scientifically proven that cedarwood used on autistic children has an increase of 83% in performances. What this essential oil does is to relax the body while awakening the senses, in order to maintain an almost normal social behaviour.

The best way is to put lavender or chamomile whether in a spray mist or burning a candle in your children bedroom. Using lavender or chamomile will able to help your children feels calm and reduce his/her anxiety
Try to put the same scents at the same hour (usually when your children about to sleep) every night for a week or two to test it. You don't want to provoke your children's sensory system.
