ALZHEIMER’S, AROMATHERAPY AND THE SENSE OF SMELL by Jean-Pierre Willem

by: Jean-Pierre Willem

This book offers a ray of optimism amidst the gloom that surrounds this awful disease. The author, a French doctor, who is at the forefront of a movement to bring traditional healing techniques into clinical settings, describes the science behind the use of essential oils in the treatment of Alzheimer’s. His focus is on the fact that a key symptom of the illness is the loss of smell, suffered by 90% of sufferers, and the fact that the olfactory system lies alongside the area of the brain that controls memory and emotion. He cites exciting studies from hospitals and old people’s homes where aromatherapy has been used as a therapy for Alzheimer’s for more than 10 years, detailing what appears to be a really successful use of essential oils to stimulate memory and prevent cognitive loss. And a bit of encouragement is vital for everyone touched by Alzheimer’s.
