Findings show that when nurses smelled a blend of three different oils, their faces face lit up, and they were immediately happy. FMTNews FMTLifestyle Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy could be a natural way to ease stress levels says a new pilot study.
The nurses were each given aromatherapy patches infused with a citrusy blend of essential oils which they could attach to their ID badges. The findings, published in the International Journal of Professional Holistic Aromatherapy, showed that the levels of anxiety and fatigue reported by the nurses fell by 40% after wearing the aromatherapy patches, and feelings of stress and being overwhelmed dropped by half, suggesting that the natural therapy could be effective in boosting well-being at work, even in particularly stressful occupations such as nursing.
They suggest using aromatherapy in the form of an essential oil diffuser, or adding a drop of pure lavender essential oil to a teaspoon of body lotion to inhale the soothing scent. Even just savouring comforting at-home scents can make us feel better.
