本課程將為您提供紮實且易用的臨床芳香護理的基礎知識和技能,以增強您的護理服務質素。在臨床環境中(但也在您自己的環境中)為患者提供芳香護理,遠超「只是一種氣味」而已。我們將幫助您了解如何安全有效地把大自然最美好的提供給病者。

  • 希望在您現有的服務外,為服務對象/病人增添額外的舒適和福祉;
  • 正在尋找結合最先進的知識、討論案例和實用技巧的課程;
  • 願意透過密集的訓練,以提升服務質素作為自己和服務對象/患者的禮物;
  • 希望了解芳香護理如何安全地加強您在臨床環境或家居護理中的護理服務;
  • 希望了解如何在日常的護理程序中納入芳香護理及其應用方法;
  • 希望從一個小型但精心設計的課程開始,學習數量有限但用途廣泛的精油,以及各種醫療保健問題的基礎知識,可以簡單使用和執行。
  • 希望將此課程作為進一步學習芳香護理的基礎,用於特殊患者群體,例如腫瘤學、紓緩治療、長者護理、疼痛管理、口腔護理、皮膚和傷口護理管理。

 

整全芳香護理在傳統護理上的應用

您可以在您的醫院或護理中心病房、療養院或家庭護理中為服務對象的福祉帶來顯著改變。

在芳香護理中,精油、二氧化碳萃取物和一系列基礎油和基底用品被用於改善健康和福祉。如今它們的藥用特性通常得到科學研究的支持。芳香產品作為輔助療法的手段,可以非常有效地處理各種身體上的挑戰,例如炎症和幾種類型的疼痛。還有一些油可以有效預防和處理MRSA。許多芳香產品也具有廣泛的皮膚修復特性。有些促進血液循環,可用於血液循環極差的皮膚或組織。一些油也可用於呼吸道,其他用於口腔護理和消化問題。

芳香護理、精油和二氧化碳萃取物均可以對我們的情緒和心理以及我們的精神健康產生深遠的影響。畢竟,香味是一種可以極大地影響我們情緒的感官。我們努力幫助您選擇合適的(組合)香氣,以幫助患者的情緒和精神問題。想想悲傷、不確定、焦慮、震驚和深層的恐懼、壓力、緊張、煩躁或失眠,僅舉幾例。在社交方面,我們將教你如何改善氛圍和消除令人討厭的氣味。

芳香護理的效果當然取決於許多因素,包括:它們的成分和作用、原料的質量、患者的醫療和個人背景,包括正使用的藥物、可能的相互作用、皮膚和黏膜的吸收能力,以及個別對象的理想和安全劑量等。

除此之外,應用方法(擴散、吸入、按摩、浸浴等)以及接受者如何感知氣味(組合)也非常重要。

在本課程中,我們將為您提供安全、有效應用所需的基礎知識。在短短3天內,我們將為您提供使用基礎油和基底用品、20種精油、(手部)按摩和其他應用的見解,如足浴和擴散,吸入和敷包。

Holistic AromaCare in (Nursing) Care

You can make a significant difference in patient wellbeing in your hospital or nursing home ward, hospice or home care.

In AromaCare fragrant essential oils, CO2 extracts and a range of base oils and base compounds are used to improve health and wellbeing. Nowadays their medicinal properties are often backed by scientific research. Aromatics can be very efficient in the complementary treatment of physical challenges, such as inflammations and several types of pain. There are also oils that can highly contribute to the prevention and tackling of MRSA. Many aromatics have extensive skin restoring properties as well. Some promote blood flow and can be used at a badly perfused skin or tissues. Some oils can also be extremely useful for the respiratory tract, others for mouth care and digestive issues.

AromaCare and fragrant essential oils and CO2 extracts can also have a profound impact on our emotional and mental, and also our spiritual wellbeing. After all, scent is a sense that can highly influence our mood. We strive to help you choose the right (combination of) fragrance to help patients with emotional and spiritual issues. Think of sadness, uncertainty, anxiety, shock and deep rooted fears, stress, nervousness, restlessness or insomnia, to name just a few. On a social wellbeing level, we’ll teach you how to improve ambiance and dispel of nasty odours too.

The effect of AromaCare is of course depending on many factors including: their ingredients and actions, the quality of the raw materials; patient medical and personal history including an overview of existing medication from all origin, knowledge of possible interactions, the absorption capacity of the skin and mucous membranes, the ideal and safe dosage in relation to the individual client, etc.

In addition to this, the method of administration (diffusion, inhalation, massage, baths, etc.) and of course how a scent(combination) is perceived by the recipient is also of huge importance..

In this course we will offer you the basics you need for safe and effective applications. In just 3 days we will offer you insights on the use of base oils and compounds, 20 essential oils, (hand) massage and other applications such as foot baths and diffusion, inhalation and compresses.
