Essential Oils Health Benefits in Seniors

10/8/2021

essential oils for elderly
Melody Living Lake in the Hills community creates aromatherapy experiences for our senior living residents.  Lavender, peppermint, and lemon are some of the most popular aromas for stimulating emotional wellness.  Lavender provides a light, floral scent that promotes calmness and reduces stress.  Peppermint creates a rejuvenating sensation that awakens the senses with a fresh and uplifting aroma that is great for easing headaches, nausea, and is also great for increasing energy.  Lemon is excellent for creating a fresh smell that is great for fighting exhaustion and reducing depression.  The benefits of aromatherapy for seniors are bountiful.
 
Aromatherapy arouses your smell receptors and then sends messages through the nervous system to the part of the brain that controls your emotions.  Studies show aromatherapy boosts your mood, improves your sleep, and relieves pain.  
 

​Melody Living’s assisted living residents have the opportunity to pair their aromatherapy experience with Tai Chi.  The practice combines gentle flowing movements with the sensation of different scents.  By combing physical wellness with emotional wellness this also improves social wellness and intellectual wellness, which all play off of one and another to increase a balance in the overall wellness of a person. 
 
To learn more about the engaging community calendars at Melody Living’s Lake in the Hills assisted living, give us a call at 847.957.7070.
