Jackson
- Essential Oils:
Essential oils are a growing and widely accepted approach to alternative
healthcare, including palliative and end-of-life treatments. The aromatherapy program at
Hospice of Amador & Calaveras will be available to both patients and their caregivers
and will launch in the fall of 2018.
In September Plymouth-Foothills presented a check to Hospice of Amador to purchase the oil and lavender scent. The lavender oil was bottled in late September. With the labeling being the final step towards launching of the aromatherapy program, patients and caregivers will now receive these oils at no charge.
