Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing

Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing Aromatherapy is the fastest growing form of complementary therapy in the UK and USA, and is rapidly being employed by nurses and other health care professionals in the hospital, hospice and community settings. Written by a nurse for nurses, this well referenced book highlights how clinical
aromatherapy can enhance nursing care and the role of a nurse. It discusses the implications of essential oils becoming prescribed items, and covers pharmacokinetics and the use of essential oils with orthodox medications. The book explains the difference between different types of aromatherapy and
shows how this complementary therapy could become part of a nursing diagnosis or be seen to be part of nursing theory.
Customer Review: Primary book for Aromatherapy Education
As a consultant and instructor of Clinical Aromatherapy, I have students representing a wide variety of professions. I consider this book to be a MUST for anyone seriously interested in learning the Science of Aromatherapy as well as the Art. When consulting with hospitals or medical practitioners, this book answers the questions that most frequently arise and is used as one of the primary references. Jane’s easy to read book is invaluable.
Customer Review: The aromatherapy “Bible” for health care professionals.
Rather than being just another aromatherapy cookbook, Clinical Aromatherapy in Nursing is a comprehensive guide on the use of this complementary modality in the clinical arena. It provides a strong clinical focus from the nursing perspective, including the incorporation of Aromatherapy into the Nursing Diagnosis and Care Plan as well as regulations and health and safety policies.

The author presents a refreshing and very compassionate approach to nursing care, one that I feel could fundamentally change the paradigm of the way we deliver care to our patients. For nurses who are experiencing care-giver burnout, this book is an inspiration to what our profession is really about.

While this book will not qualify a nurse to practice clinical aromatherapy without formal training, it will be an instrumental framework for incorporating this modality into the nursing model.

Having completed Janes 5 module training program after reading this book, I can highly recommend both the book and the course to all health care professionals.
