Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy employs fragrant oils, massaged into the skin. Some less-than-rigorous studies have supported the hypothesis that the utilization of aromatherapy can improve behavioral problems to the point of lessening the need for medications (see Booker, DJ, 1997 and Flanagan, N., 1995). Perhaps in the future, more scientific studies can help tease out the critical variables that enable this procedure to work in AD patients.
