Abstract

Pierre Delaroche de Clisson hospital uses essential oils as part of its daily organisation for the treatment of pain and the development of palliative care. The setting up of this project, in nursing homes and long-term care units, is the fruit of a complex mission carried out by a multidisciplinary team, which had to take into account the risks involved and overcome a certain amount of reluctance.

Keywords: aromatherapy; aromathérapie; douleur; essential oil; huile essentielle; hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes; nursing home; pain; palliative care; soins palliatifs.
