Aromatherapy is increasingly incorporated into midwifery practice,
particularly in midwife-led units. It is the most commonly used
therapy by midwives and birthing practitioners but access to
up-to-date safety information is limited. Almost 90% of women may
be using complementary therapies during pregnancy and birth and so
it is very important that midwives are aware of safe and
appropriate use based on contemporary evidence. This book covers
safety, effectiveness, evidence, benefits and risks, and legal,
ethical and professional issues related to incorporating
aromatherapy into maternity care. Useful charts and tables are
included for quick reference in clinical practice, making this is
the ultimate handbook for using aromatherapy in midwifery practice.
The scientific basis behind aromatherapy, including relevant
anatomy and physiology, chemistry and pharmacology are covered, as
well as a critical appraisal of the contemporary research evidence
supporting the use of aromatherapy in maternity care. Essential oil
profiles of the oils that can be safely used in pregnancy, birth
and postnatally are also included.
