Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent type of dementia and the number of people living with it is expected to triple by 2050. The progressive memory loss and behavioral changes over years is a painful process for those with AD and their families and caregivers.

A randomized controlled clinical trial investigated the effects (sleep quality, neuropsychiatric behavioral disorders, quality of life, and biochemical measures) of aromatherapy for people with AD. Six drops of a blend of lavender, sweet orange, and bergamot essential oils (2 drops of each) were added to 200 mL of water in a diffuser, which was operated every night at 9:00pm for 1 hour over a 12-week period. The control group inhaled from a diffuser with water only. Inhaling the essential oil blend improved sleep quality, alleviated psychobehavioral symptoms, and improved overall quality of life. Biochemical evaluation also showed a decrease in oxidative stress (by increasing superoxide dismutase levels) and inflammation (decreased TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels). The biochemical results are noteworthy because oxidative stress and inflammation are linked to further deterioration of AD.

Love Frankincense!

There’s a reason Frankincense has been called the "king of oils."
But beyond ancient tradition, modern science is confirming what generations intuitively knew:
Frankincense has a powerful impact on the brain.

Frankincense contains compounds like α-pinene and incensole acetate, which have been shown in studies to:
- Support healthy cognitive function
- Cross the blood-brain barrier to influence mood and neurochemistry
- Promote cellular repair and reduce neuroinflammation
- Activate brain regions tied to memory, focus, and emotional processing

In Therapeutic Practice:
Frankincense is especially supportive when used in sessions focused on:
+ Grief & trauma processing – Promotes emotional grounding and spiritual connection
+ Mindfulness & body awareness – Enhances present-moment focus and breathwork
+ Neuroplasticity & integration – Aids in deepening new neural pathways through calm engagement

Try This with Clients:
Invite clients to breathe in Frankincense during a grounding exercise or body scan.
Watch as they soften into presence — it’s often described as “coming home to the body.”

This is more than scent.
It’s support for brain health, nervous system regulation, and therapeutic depth.

Multiple Sclerosis and Ginger Essential Oil.

Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating condition where the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells is damaged disrupting nervous system signals and resulting in numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis. MS affects each person differently, with some symptoms being temporary and others long-lasting and more severe.

Oral administration of ginger essential oil promoted remyelination and increased myelin fiber thickness in a preclinical model of multiple sclerosis (MS). The results suggests that ginger essential oil can both prevent and reverse demyelination and is worthy of exploring in human trials for MS.

Wow!

People are put on a mechanical ventilator when their lungs are unable to adequately provide the necessary oxygen to the body or remove carbon dioxide. This can be due to a respiratory infection, chronic lung disease, acute lung injury, surgery, drug overdoes, or neurological issue. Due to the physical and psychological stress of mechanical ventilation, weaning a person off of it as soon as possible is important.

A recent clinical trial evaluated the effects of using lavender essential oil during the weaning process. Participants in the lavender group received a ninety minute massage with 2% lavender essential oil for four consecutive days. Significantly higher oxygen saturation was observed among participants in the lavender group compared to a control group. Improvements in blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic), heart rate, and respiratory rate were also experienced by the lavender group. Ultimately, the lavender intervention helped wean people from mechanical ventilation faster, shortened their ICU stay, and decreased mortality rate.
