I wrote my Clinical Aromatherapy research paper on the Benefits of Aromatherapy in Support of Pharmacological Treatments for Breast Cancer. My instructor, Shanti (who is fantastic), said the paper was well written and extremely informative - so I thought I would share, if you are interested.
ABSTRACT
No other illness affects the body more profoundly than cancer. With no clear scientific evidence that aromatherapy can cure or prevent cancer, there is research that aromatherapy as a complementary therapy is effective for cancer and other types of illness. Aromatherapy improves the quality of life for the patient. Cancer patients have reported that the use of aromatherapy aids in the healing of scars from surgery, reduces stress, assists sleep and relieves side effects from chemotherapy and radiation treatments including, but not limited to, nausea, headaches and digestive issues. Aromatherapy naturally assists pharmacological cancer treatments by creating a healthy immune system and improves the overall quality of life in patients.
The objective of this paper is to reveal research to support the benefits of aromatherapy in support of pharmacological treatments for breast cancer.
