Elderly & Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a wonderful healing aid for the elderly.

Many assisted living programs use aromatherapy in the treatment and care of clients for various problems such as sleeplessness, depression, behaviour management, weight loss prevention, memory stimulation, pain management, restorative programming and quality of life.

For more information on this please read this article published in providor magazine, written by Karen Wood president of Essentics and organisation run by health professionals in geriatrics.

Many of our recipes can be used on the elderly and for the elderly though care should be taken in regards to the strength of essential oils used.

Oils, Salts, scrubs and creams are great as gifts as well as for indulging oneself and provide something special, fun and useful for the elderly to do. Why not give it a try at your nursing home or assisted living village?

Ingredients are easy to find many are found at the local supermarket and essential oils are easy to come by.

Be sure to always by the best oils not imitations and wherever possible buy organic oils.

Here are two of my preferred suppliers in Australia though a quick search in Google will provide many more.
