Aromapéče v prostředí paliativní péče

Aromatherapy is one of the most effective non-pharmacological procedures used in palliative care. It has no ambition to cure or replace medical procedures, its goal is to support and improve the quality of human life. It can help relieve pain, nausea, reduce stress, anxiety, panic, reduce aggression, anger, improve sleep quality. Some scents can support memory and concentration, scent a room and thus create a pleasant environment for life (elimination of odors, evoking memories). In the last moments of life, we can also work with scents in the context of spirituality. Aromatherapy is increasingly becoming known in palliative care in the Czech Republic.
