Aromatherapy is the fastest growing integrative health therapy in health care and provides an opportunity to meet resident needs and preferences for non-pharmaceutical options. Aromatherapy is a simple delivery method and helps manage symptoms, improve quality measures, and improve resident and tenant experience.

A 2020 study led by researchers at the West Virginia University School of Nursing showed levels of anxiety and fatigue reported by nurses who wore aromatherapy patches fell by 40%.
