Clinical Aromatherapy for Palliative and Comfort Care

Recommended by Doctors, Used by Hospitals®


Dr. Meaghann Weaver of Children’s Hospital & Medical Center (Omaha, Nebraska) has published the results of her palliative care study utilizing Aeroscena®'s Ascents®-brand clinical aromatherapy inhalers in Cambridge University Press’ journal Palliative and Supportive Care. 


Researchers found that the three Ascents aromatherapy formulas used in the study (Nausea Relief, Calm, and Focus) represented effective supportive care interventions for patients experiencing pain, nausea, and anxiety.


Ascents inhalers are the only natural, hands-off, and evidence-based way to help relieve many common, disruptive medical symptoms in palliative, comfort care, and hospice environments, including:


- Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)

- Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV)

- General Nausea

- Anxiety 

- Insomnia 

- Pain 


Ascents clinical aromatherapy inhalers were developed specifically for use in healthcare environments in order to deliver consistent doses of clinical-grade aromatherapy in a closed, easy-to-use, and sterile delivery system. This is one reason why Ascents products are Recommended by Doctors, Used by Hospitals®.
