Research Reference - Aromatherapy on Skin
AromaArt has been
leading our graduates to various Nursing Homes
and Day Care Centres performing volunteer
massages to patients and the elderly since 1998.
Through these years, we have yielded many
positive results from aromatherapy and touch on
the patients.
With such positive results, we would like to
embark on a clinical research on the benefits of
aromatherapy on patients, starting from skin
conditions. We hope that such effort would aid
us to clinically quantify the effects that may
in turn aid healthcare personnel to integrate
such therapy within their environment to better
help their patients.
The following are some examples of positive
results of aromatherapy application on skin that
have been compiled by healthcare personnel for
references. We hope that these references will
assist aromatherapists in their practice and we
welcome assistance and contributions in any
capacity towards our research and development.
