How Clinical Aromatherapy Helps Promote Relaxation, Comfort, and Sleep
Our sense of smell is 10,000 times more sensitive than any of our other senses and recognition of smell is immediate. Inhaled vaporized odor molecules can bring back a flood of memories, influence people's moods, and even affect their work behavior. Smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously.
The reason for this is that the olfactory bulb is part of the brain's limbic system - an area so closely associated with memory and feeling, that it is also called the "primitive" or "emotional brain."
This system is a network of connected structures near the middle of the brain linked with the central nervous system that includes the adrenals, the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus, which regulate the body's heart rate, blood pressure, stress, and breathing.
Clinical studies have determined a significant positive effect of aromatherapy used in healthcare
Lavender has been proven to help with anxiousness and relaxation. Peppermint has been shown to help soothe queasiness.
When patients are more relaxed, pain and anxiousness can decrease. Elequil Aromatabs aromatherapy is a cost-effective way to help your initiatives to reduce the use of opioids and other pharmaceutical interventions.

We have almost eliminated our loss of scan due to uneasy feelings from being in an MRI
"We have used Elequil Aromatabs aromatherapy at our facility for 4 years. We have almost eliminated our loss of scan due to uneasy feelings from being in an MRI. Our patients are thrilled with the product."
MRI Manager, SportsMED Orthopaedic, Surgery & Spine Center, Huntsville, AL
We have had great results using Elequil Aromatabs aromatherapy
"We have had great results using Elequil Aromatabs aromatherapy. Lavender-Sandalwood helped decrease anxiousness and other ill feelings in the Pre-op area on patients whose surgery is scheduled later in the day and have gone without any oral intake. In the acute recovery area and stepdown unit, queasiness was relieved with success using Orange-Peppermint. In the Pre-op and both recovery areas, this decreased the need to give more IV medications."
O.R. Manager, Outpatient Surgery Center of Jonesboro
The staff enjoys the ease of use and the effectiveness
"Patients appreciate the non-invasive treatment and the calming effect it creates. The staff enjoys the ease of use and the effectiveness. They are also grateful that the patient doesn’t have to be overmedicated and can have a faster recovery time. It is very easy to use."
