A fracture is a break or crack in a bone. A simple fracture is one
where the soft tissue overlying the broken bone is still intact. A compound fracture is one where the skin is damaged so that the fractured bone is exposed and vulnerable to infection. Fractures caused by disease are known as
pathological fractures.
Symptoms: Swelling, pain and soreness, inability to move the affected part, possibly a protruding bone, deformity and discoloration.
Aromatherapy:
Elemi oil can help to encourage circulation
after the plaster has been removed. Lavender can help to relax and be calm. Thyme, Rosemary and Majoram can be diluted and massaged into the area to soothe pain and promote healing.
