Aromatherapy: Benefits & Who Can Use It (It's Not Just for Dementia)

Aromatherapy: A Complementary Therapy for All Ages

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote relaxation and well-being. It is not limited to dementia patients—people of all ages can benefit for:

• Stress and anxiety reduction
• Sleep improvement
• Mood enhancement
• Pain and nausea relief (adjunctive)
• General relaxation

Safety Considerations

• Use pure, high-quality oils.
• Dilute properly for topical application.
• Consult a professional if pregnant, nursing, or having medical conditions (epilepsy, asthma, allergies).
• Not a substitute for medical treatment.

When used appropriately, aromatherapy is a gentle, accessible tool for holistic wellness.
