Aromatherapy: A way to improve the CPAP experience
Using scents can help calm first time CPAP users and help with desensitizing them to treatment.
Aromatherapy is a pleasant add on for a successful CPAP user. The treatment for sleep apnea is a CPAP machine. The therapy pressures prevent your airways from collapsing. The constant use of a CPAP machine improves sleep in patients with sleep apnea. CPAP therapy follow-ups, every 6 months by qualified sleep technologists, monitor and maintain your ideal therapy pressures.
Aromatherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that may calm some people.

If your CPAP therapy has been going well you may want to try essential oils. Aromatherapy is a non-pharmacological intervention that may calm some people. It has been used in elderly populations with success in calming certain individuals. Essential oils used in conjunction with a CPAP machine can improve sleep. It also may just provide a pleasant scent throughout the night. These scent therapies have shown improvement in quality of sleep and reduced the levels of anxiety in patients with coronary heart disease.
The method to use essential oils is by placing a cotton diffuser in front of the air intake on the CPAP. Your chosen scent can then permeate the air that goes through your CPAP machine. Some people use aromatherapy/essential oils to help with the new smell of a new CPAP device. Using scents can help calm first time CPAP users and help with desensitizing them to treatment.
If you want to try using essential oils with your CPAP machine ask a sleep clinic. They can help with setting you up and also determining if you are an ideal candidate that can benefit from using aromatherapy.
