In this paper we checked health problems of patients who suffered form arthritis.
After assessing each patients condition, in order to alleviate their sufferings, we introduced several methods of aromatherapy as a holistic approach to these health problem. Aromatherapy is used of essential oils, which are obtained from aromatic plants, can be defied as a nature-friendly complementary/alternative method has its great merit in its each way of application.
If the arthritis condition is localized massage, compress or poultices and hand or foot baths are most effective. Many of essential oils in the recipe have dual benefits as anti-inflammative and analgesic agents. The Juniper and carrot seed aid in eliminating fluid and toxin accumulation in the joint and surrounding tissue.
There are many different courses available and health professional should choose one that is relevant to clinical practice. Considering the future of nursing as a major contribution in the consumer-centered structure of medical health service, aromatherapy as a complementary/alternative method is expected to contribute not only to establishing more effective health service but also to resolving chronic health problem of arthritis.
