Aromatherapy in clinical settings is traditionally not seen due to scent-free policies commonly implemented. But what if we told you there was a way to provide aromatherapy to patients, staff, and care givers that complies with scent-free policies?

Associated Health Systems Inc. is thrilled to bring to the Canadian healthcare market, Elequil Aromatabs. Created by Beekley Medical, clinical aromatherapy is being used in hospital units such as labor & delivery, oncology, surgical services, and palliative & hospice care.

These wearable patches are a simple-to-use intervention alleviating anxiousness and soothing queasiness. Staff (including our own team) are also benefiting from Elequil Aromatabs. Clinical studies show increased feelings of comfort and calmness and overall uplift in mood.


What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that utilizes aromatic essential oils derived from plants to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. These essential oils are extracted from various parts of plants and are believed to possess therapeutic properties that can be beneficial when inhaled, applied topically, or used in massage. Aromatherapy is often used to alleviate stress, enhance relaxation, improve mood, and address a range of physical ailments such as headaches or muscle pain.

Aromatherapy as an alternative holistic intervention is not new, however, some methods for delivery such as soaked cotton balls and diffusers can be messy and subject to inconsistencies.
