| Överskrift | Aromatherapy and occupational therapy. |
| Beskrivning | Discusses how occupational therapists use aromatherapy (AR - the application of essential oils) to promote health and well-being through massage, inhalation, baths, compresses, creams, and lotions. Essential oils have have many different properties, often including antidepressant, antibacterial, or sedative qualities. Many believe that the strength of AR lies in the interrelation of the elements of the essential oil, massage, and therapist/client relationship. AR is used to (1) reduce, (2) invigorate and promote activity and alertness, (3) stimulate sensory awareness, (4) facilitate interaction and communication, (5) treat medical problems, and (6) provide pain relief. Three case studies are presented of clients treated with AR. |
