Utilizing essential oils in dementia care offers numerous benefits, including promoting relaxation, reducing agitation, and improving sleep quality. Certain scents, such as lavender and rosemary, have been shown to have calming effects, easing anxiety and enhancing mood. Additionally, aromatherapy can stimulate memory recall and cognitive function, providing a comforting and familiar environment for individuals with dementia. Incorporating essential oils into care routines can enhance overall well-being and quality of life for both patients and caregivers alike.
Our Guest:
In this episode, I talk with a past guest, Dr. Jennifer Stelter, about essential oils in dementia care. You may remember Dr. Stelter from A Busy Caregivers Guide to Advanced Dementia episodes.
Essential oils aren't a new fad. The origins of aromatherapy can be traced back thousands of years, giving us lots of evidence of its effectiveness. Many studies have shown the positive benefits for people with dementia when employing a quality aromatherapy routine. After our discussion, you'll be confident to choose the aromatherapy methods that best benefit your household.
