[Guest guest]

Hi Christina,

 

I'm happy to share, but I'm afraid I don't have too many specifics to

offer. For those patients who are interested in aromatherapy, I

typically do private consultations in the clinic. This is my

preferred method because the patient must fill out an intial health

intake form and they are directly involved in creating their own

blend based on their goals and smell preference. I also teach an

introductory class that goes over a lot of safety and basic

information on essential oil use.

 

However, I'm in the process of creating some standard blends for the

social workers to hand out to patients in personal inhalers. They

will focus on nausea, anxiety/stress and insomnia. I have to say

that I love the personal inhalers and patients do too. They can

carry them around and can even use them in the chemotherapy infusion

center without bothering their neighbor

 

I do tend to use lemon, spearmint and peppermint for the anti-nausea

blend. A couple of times I added a small amount of ginger, but I

haven't found that it makes a big difference in the nausea control.

Most people don't like the aroma either. But, keep in mind I've only

used it on a very small number of people. I'd be curious to know

whether others have had luck with ginger in their blends? From my

class, I've found some of the most popular aromas are bergamot, wild

orange (all the citrus oils really), frankincense, lavender, rosemary

and pine.

 

Anyway, I should be able to offer some more specific information once

we begin handing out these personal inhalers to patients.

 

I don't know if this helps. I'd love to hear what others are doing,

as well.

 

Thanks,

Kamron
