Re: Aromatherapy and nursing practice

When you guys use aromatherapy, do you place drops on the sheets and pillows or do you use a diffuser?

Re: Aromatherapy and nursing practice

The cheapest and quickest diffuser I have found is an index card. Just add a few drops and vigorously fan and it will fill a room instantly. After fanning, just "tent" the card and leave it in the room. It can be safer than a heat producing diffuser or an expensive fan-type diffuser.

Be very careful about what oils are allowed to come in contact with skin without a carrier oil. Pretty much lavendar is the only essential oil that can be allowed to touch skin for most people.
