AROMATHERAPY
FOR ELDERLY
CLIENTS
From Insomnia to Dementia,
Essential Oils Offer Support
By Anne Williams
KEY POINTS
• Studies show that aromatherapy can
be a useful tool in helping common
complaints from adults 75 and older.
• It's important to create aromatherapy
synergies for older adults with
considerations for thin, delicate skin
and possibly compromised kidney,
liver, and cardiovascular function.
• The proper application and
combinations of botanical oils can
relieve anxiety and depression,
insomnia, and pain in older adults.
