What: Defining Essential Patches

Essential oil patches are medical-grade adhesives that can be placed directly on skin or clothing without irritation. Different aromas promote healing and reduce stress before surgery and or medical procedures in a healthcare setting. Shelf life is 18 months from the date of manufacture and will last up to 8 hours once opened.

Healthcare providers are increasingly looking for interventions that are:

  • Safe and low-risk
  • Easy for staff to use
  • Cost-effective
  • Supportive of patient-centered care
  • Helpful in reducing stress, anxiety, agitation, and discomfort

 Lavender Patch: Improves wellness and circulation. NIH studies have shown that lavender is especially helpful in alleviating depression, pain, and anxiety in patients undergoing abdominal surgery and females undergoing cesarean sections.

 Improved Sleep: Inhaling lavender can act as a natural sleep aid for mild to moderate sleep disturbances, enhancing sleep depth and quality, which allows the body to relax and heal faster.

 Reduced Anxiety and Stress: The scent calms the mind and nervous system, helping to manage anxiety, emotional stress, and, in some studies, pre-operative anxiety.

Headache and Pain Relief: It can soothe tense muscles, relieve headaches, and reduce inflammation, particularly when used in massages or with topical carrier oils.

 Improved Mood: Studies suggest lavender can help manage symptoms of depression and improve overall well-being, which will affect the patient’s healing process and the nursing staff’s overall morale.

Nauseous: When patients are nervous about a procedure, having a reaction to medication or recently coming out of anesthesia, often nauseous and can use additional assistance by using a non pharmacological anxiety intervention. 

Headache: It can soothe tense muscles, relieve headaches, and reduce inflammation, particularly when used in massages or with topical carrier oils.

Mandarin essential oil: It reduces stress and anxiety, promotes calm and sleep, and uplifts mood with its sweet, citrusy aroma. It acts as a natural air cleanser, removing odors and airborne bacteria, and is generally considered safe for children. It calms nausea, indigestion and stomach disorders. 

 Emotional Balancing: Known as a “happy oil,” it brings joy, helps manage anxiety and depression, and is particularly good for soothing nervous tension and irritability

Relaxation and Sleep Support: Mandarin has calming, mildly sedative properties that make it effective for promoting a better night’s sleep and reducing stress

The patches allow patients to breathe in pure 100% natural essential oils vapes that travel through the nose and activate receptors sites in the brain. The essential oils react with the limbic system, which controls your physiological state

When: The Critical Timing of Implementation

The “When” is two-fold: When are they used in the patient journey, and why is now the time for healthcare facilities to adopt them?

The Patient Journey

  • Admission: Patches can be applied immediately to establish a sense of calmness and healing. Whether it’s in the ER or waiting to be admitted for a procedure, calming your nervous system when you don’t already feel good or are anxious, will help drive better outcomes.
  • Transition: During the “handoff” between a hospital and an LTAC facility, a patch ensures that the transition to a new location is not scary and overwhelming.
  • Crisis Management: When a patient with dementia or Alzheimer’s facility becomes agitated, a pre-applied essential oil patch ensures they receive calming effects without the escalation of an injection.

The Industry Shift

We are currently in a period of “Staffing Shortages” and “Value-Based Care.” Healthcare facilities are being penalized for readmissions and rewarded for positive outcomes. Now is the time to implement patches because they provide a “safety net” that compensates for busy shifts and helps prevent the adverse events that lead to hospital readmissions.

We believe in transforming patient care across all healthcare platforms by using clinical aromatherapy patches to aid in simplest but most often discomforting symptoms. The simple peel and stick calming tool allows nurses to offer a solution to their patient discomfort in seconds. 

Our aromatherapy patches provide a safe, easy-to-use, cost effective, non-pharmacological solution that helps healthcare organizations enhance comfort, reduce stress, and improve the overall care experience for patients, residents, families, and staff.

The sense of smell is vital to the nervous system because it shares a direct, often considered a superhighway with the brain’s emotional and memory centers. It bypasses the brain’s typical sensory relay station, linking directly to the limbic system to drive cognition, emotion, and protective survival responses. 

We pride ourselves in working with one of the largest aromatherapy manufacturers with medical-grade inhalation patches within the healthcare community. Locally made here in the USA, the Clinical Aromatharpy patches can provide healing for patients in several medical settings. Simply tear open the sealed single patient use patch, apply to the patient skin or clothing with no special training, or ongoing staff time required.
