Aromatherapy is increasingly incorporated into midwifery practice, so it is very important that midwives and birthing practitioners are aware of safe and appropriate use based on contemporary evidence. This accessible handbook covers safety, effectiveness, evidence, benefits and risks, and legal, ethical and professional issues related to incorporating aromatherapy into maternity care. 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, as are useful charts and tables that can be quickly referred to in clinical practice.
