See the exciting ways essential oils are being used in Vanderbilt’s Emergency Room to alleviate the “hospital smell” and relieve the stress of staff and patients.

 

 

Transcript

Nashville, Tennessee – It’s one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. But, tonight the doctors and nurses at Vanderbilt’s emergency room are feeling calmer.

As Fox 17′s John Dunn Reports, “They are improving the mood and the smell at the same time.”

There is no denying hospitals have a certain odor.

“It makes you feel bad. It makes you feel sad. It brings back bad memories.”

“It’s kind of got a death smell to it, I guess. I’d say a funeral home.”

But inside Vanderbilt’s emergency room, “People say it smells like dream icicles, I’ve heard margaritas.”

The hospital smell has disappeared.

“This diffuser right now is diffusing lime.”

Scattered around are several essential oil diffusers, dispensing a therapeutic scent throughout the ER.

“It is very pleasant, fresh, and clean.”

The ER’s wellness committee decided to test the oils to not only improve the smell but also the work place.

“We wanted that would help decrees stress and help increase energy.”

The results are dramatic. According to their survey of more than one hundred ER staff members, before the oils 41% said they were stressed out at work. After the oils only 3% were stressed. Prior to aroma therapy 60% of ER staff members were frustrated at work. After a little oil 6%  felt frustrated.

“The results were phenomenal just the before and after.”
At first there were plenty of skeptics not believing a drop here and drop there could really make a difference.

“Some people, I included thought it was, like, voodoo medicine, like, it’s never going to work.”

Now, nurses like Anna are using them at home.

“And it really is amazing.”

Vanderbilt’s ER may be the only one in the country diffusing essential oils. And supporters say if it’s working for staff, it could also help patients.

“Not make it as a medical treatment but a complimentary therapy for patients.”

There are many people that will tell you what a hospital is supposed to smell like.

“‘It’s not pine sole but it’s a smell.”

In Vanderbilt’s Emergency Room its Wild Orange, Lime, Lemon, and Citrus Bliss.

“I love anything we do for our staff to make them better. Because the better that we make our staff the better that our patients are going to be,” A change that definitely passes the smell test. John Dunn Fox 17 News

And, get this 84% of the nurses and doctors strongly agree inside Vanderbilt’s emergency room strongly agree that the oils contribute to a more positive work environment. The wellness committee plans to publish their results highlighting their success.

So, if you’re wondering how those essential oils work, when the oils are diffused into the air the aromatic molecules are inhaled. They interact with the body’s own factory nerves and the limbic system. The limbic system is directly connected the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and other emotions. Scents have a powerful effect much like the smell of freshly baked cookies reminding someone of their grandmother.

Essential Oils For Asthma

May 19 2011

Categorized Under: Essential Oil Education

Asthma is a condition that causes a person’s lung airways to constrict and narrow. This makes it very difficult to breathe and can be very concerning at times. An asthma attack can be triggered by many things including pollution, smoke, allergens, toxins and exercising. These attacks cause tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing.

There are a number of essential oils that can alleviate a persons asthma. There are also oils that can be used during an attack.

Eucalyptus essential oil with its common eucalyptol aroma opens up the lungs airways and aids in breathing. You could use Eucalyptus essential oil topically on the chest and neck like you would use Vicks vapor rub. The aromatic benefits would last longer when applied to the skin.

Frankincense essential oil has very strong anti-inflammatory properties. This would make sense to apply to areas that are unnaturally constricting. Frankincense also is very calming for those that are experiencing an asthma attack.  This would be an oil to apply topically or apply to the hands and cup over the nose and mouth and inhale.

doTERRA’s Breathe essential oil blend is a combination of essential oils (laurel leaf, peppermint, eucalyptus, melaleuca, lemon andravensara) that have been studied for their abilities to open and soothe the tissues of the respiratory system. These oils are also tremendous at combating airborne pathogens, viruses, and bacteria that commonly cause an asthma attack. To use doTERRA’s Breathe essential oil blend, apply directly to chest and throat. You can dilute it with a carrier oil like doTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil for sensitive skin. The vapors will help soothe and open the respiratory airways.

If you, a family member or friend suffers from asthma, you owe it to yourself or your loved ones to try something natural. Give doTERRA’s Breathe Essential Oil Blend a try today!
