Former flight attendant Helen was forced to leave her beloved aviation industry two years ago due to the impact of the epidemic.
It turned out that she was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis for 8 years. Whenever the disease occurred, Helen needed to take the highest concentration of anti-cancer drugs and steroids to adjust the disease. However, the large doses led to the same significant side effects.
Helen described that her body was swollen like a snowman, and she was often restless, unable to eat, and vomited from time to time. The pain caused by the disease made her feel hopeless.
Later, Helen came into contact with natural remedies by chance. Aromatherapy treatment relieved the swelling of the joints, relieved the physical pain, and also improved her mental state, and she was able to return to work smoothly.
The experience of being afflicted by illness made her interested in natural therapy and health preservation. After leaving the aviation industry, Helen devoted herself to studying and studying aromatherapy-related knowledge, and later founded an aromatherapy company, hoping to help more fellow travelers with aromatherapy.

Aroma therapist Helen (Zhang Yingshan) is a flight attendant with 20 years of experience.
As the epidemic hit the aviation industry, she could only be forced to leave the industry.
She, who turned from ground crew to flight attendant, said that she fell in love with the role of flight attendant. She has traveled all over the world for many years and experienced local culture.
However, since 2003, Helen's joints have been suffering from pain. At first, the doctor judged that it was caused by work-related strain, and prescribed anti-inflammatory and painkillers for treatment.
Although the situation has not improved, it has not particularly deteriorated.
Natural remedies such as aromatherapy are prevalent in the UK, US and Australia and are considered complementary treatments.

Side effects of high-dose drugs cause swelling like a snowman
Ten years later, Helen's condition became so severe that she consulted a specialist and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Doctors gave her some anti-cancer drugs, steroids, anti-inflammatory and painkillers, but her condition worsened.
At the worst, her joints were swollen, which affected her appearance and made her move poorly. "I was swollen to the point of being like a snowman. After eating, I would vomit, which affected my mood."
The various side effects brought by the drug prevented her from seeing the light of day.
Aromatherapy actually improved Helen's joint swelling and pain relief.

The failure of high doses of medication to control her condition left her despairing.
Helen's doctor, who is from Australia, pointed out at the time that Helen's drug doses were such that "the disease didn't kill her, the drugs killed her" and advised her to seek other treatment options.
Helen had tried to seek Chinese medicine, but did not get much improvement. Later, she learned that natural remedies were prevalent in Britain, the United States and Australia, and were regarded as adjuvant therapy.
Helen carried out related therapy with the mentality of giving it a try. Aromatherapy actually improved Helen's joint swelling and relieved the pain.
Five months later, Helen is back at work and continuing her dream of flying.
When the epidemic hit more than two years ago, Helen immediately lost his job. In addition to being frustrated, Helen, who has been in the aviation industry for many years, also felt lost about his future.
She hopes to improve her competitiveness through study and further studies, and aromatherapy has become the best choice.
After completing the course, Helen set out to start an aromatherapy company.

After completing the course, Helen set out to start an aromatherapy company.
Helen found that Hong Kong people generally don't know much about aromatherapy, and the concept remains on the single effect of essential oils and their relaxation purposes.
She explained that each essential oil has a variety of functions, such as the common sandalwood, in addition to its well-known calming properties, it can also reduce edema, diuresis and help maintain skin elasticity. Mixing different essential oils will also have different effects.
Helen mentioned that the current aromatherapy treatments in Hong Kong are mainly divided into inhalation, massage, aromatherapy and bathing. According to the different needs and symptoms of each client, an essential oil treatment is prepared for them to assist them in their treatment.
The past experience of illness has made her understand that "when a piece of treatment can't help you, you will feel helpless and hope there are other ways to help", so she hopes to use her professional knowledge to help more fellow travelers.
Not long after the establishment of Helen's Lingyue Aromatherapy Workshop, it ushered in the fifth wave of the epidemic and was forced to close for several months. However, there are risks and opportunities. Helen pointed out that since the fifth wave, nearly 40% of the customers have suffered from loss of taste or smell. More than half of the guests came for treatment with hair loss problems, and most of these symptoms were related to the new crown.

One of the most fulfilling things for Helen is when guests tell them they are comfortable, and people around them see their conditions improve.
In addition to physical therapy, Helen also transforms into an exclusive "tree hole" for guests from time to time, listening to their troubles and achieving the effect of psychosomatic therapy.
