1.3. Aromatherapy in maternity care
In Clinical Aromatherapy for Pregnancy and Childbirth, Tiran13
states that the essential oils most consistently used for anxiety
and depression are lavender, jasmine, ylangeylang, sandalwood,
bergamot and rose. Burns et al14 conducted an eight year experimental
study of 8058 women and explored the use of ten essential oils to ease
pain, anxiety, nausea and enhance contractions during labor and
childbirth. Overall,laboringwomen rated the aromatherapy as helpful,
with rose and lavender essential oils as the most beneficial for anxiety.
In 2008, the Burnsmaternity aromatherapy programwas replicated by
the author and a group of OB unit nurses at Community North Hospital
in Indianapolis, extending the treatments through the early postpartum
period. The laboring and postpartum patients were the most
frequent recipients of aromatherapy (47% and 33% respectively).
The focus of this investigation grew from the results of the above
mentioned studies, which suggested that further work exploring
the effects of aromatherapy on anxiety and depression in the high
risk postpartum woman might be beneficial.
