Hello everyone,
First I would like to say that I do not have Crohn's but my best friend does. School is in a few weeks and Im trying to do tons research on Crohn's and methods used to calm the symptoms. We plan to be suitemates this fall (two different rooms, sharing bathroom) and I want to make sure since we'll be in one another's room alot that they are as comfortable and relaxing as possible. In the beginning of my research I asked my Mike (my bf) things that he finds relaxing (I also had to familiarize myself with Crohn's Disease in various places which led me here). I separated the list into visuals, smells, and other. Next I began to think of brings plants into our rooms to help cleanse the air of dust, humidity, and other contaminates. Im still in the process of researching exactly what plants to use. I also plan to invest in a humidifier. My next investment will be water fountains to further compliment the visuals and other effects of the plants. And finallly I am studying aromatherapy and in the process of seeking answers on how to create natural air cleaners instead of commercial cleans which are filled with toxic chemicals that can complicate Michaels symptoms. So all in all I am basically trying to create an environment that is clean, natural, relaxing and appealing to Mike so that he will be one step closer to being healthier than if I did nothing at all. Lastly Im just looking in to massage therapy.Since I do not have Crohn's I wanted to seek help from other victims and what they did to control their symptoms so I can help my friend the best way i can. My questions to you guys are:
1.) Am I on the right track?
2.)What indoor plants would be best for the purposes I mentioned above?
3.) Have you had any experiences with aroma therapy? What essential oils have you found to help with your Crohn's?
4.)
