Cancer patients often face a whirlwind of emotions, with anxiety being one of the most common. Aromatherapy, which uses natural plant extracts and essential oils, can offer relief and improve emotional wellbing.
Studies have suggested that aromatherapy can complement traditional medical treatments. For instance, it may alleviate anxiety associated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions, offering patients a sense of control and comfort. When tailored to individual needs, this ancient practice can be a comforting ally in the fight against cancer-related anxiety.
Join us for an informal monthly session where you can create your very own aromatherapy spray,and get answers to all your aromatherapy questions!
You'll have the chance to chat with a clinical aromatherapist about how this healing practice has been used in UK hospitals and hospices since the late 1980s.
This month we'll be focusing on different blends to help ease your anxiety.

The first paper on our PhD exploring the Fountain Centre Coaching Service was published earlier this month. It explores the importance of a holistic 'whole health' approach when coaching cancer patients, that focuses on each person's individual story and values to help them find change within themselves.
