Aromatherapy is the practice of therapeutic use of essential plant-based oils. Essential oils and aromatherapy have been used in the care of women for centuries. The published research has used small samples and often combines other complementary therapies with aromatherapy; however, the use of essential oils has not been shown to cause harm and is accepted by women. Aromatherapy mixtures are appropriate for use by nurses in labor and delivery settings. The article reviews the literature and discusses appropriate essential oil mixtures for use in women's health setting and labor and delivery.
芳香疗法是指使用基于植物的精油进行治疗的实践。几个世纪以来，精油和芳香疗法一直被用于女性护理。已发表的研究样本量较小，且常常将其他辅助疗法与芳香疗法结合使用；然而，使用精油尚未显示出有害作用，并且为女性所接受。芳香疗法混合物适合护士在分娩环境中使用。本文回顾了相关文献，并讨论了适用于女性健康领域以及分娩过程中的精油混合物。
