Lavender Oil & Dementia A new study released supports the role of topical lavender essential oil in those with dementia. It has shown very effective in the mental aggitation and anxious like states that often go along with the middle and later stages of the disease. Having seen many family members suffer with care giving for those with dementia, a simple little thing like using lavender aromatherapy may improve the life of those suffering with the disease and ease family members stress and heartache. This is a prime example of how simple changes with natural medicine can create a big change in overall global health. Consider it cost less then a dollar a day to use lavender essential oil, this is a prime example of the cost effectiveness of natural healing too.
