Essential oil patches provide a convenient way to enjoy aromatherapy at home or at work. They are small patches that are placed on the skin and that contain healing essential oils. There are pre-blended patches for various conditions, such as stress, insomnia or anxiety, and there are also patches that allow you to add your own oil blends.
The patch is usually placed on the upper chest where it releases oils for you to inhale throughout the day. Patches that contain relaxing oils can be also used at night to help you to sleep better. The patch fits under your clothes and can be used discreetly at any time and in any place. One patch lasts up to eight hours. Aromatherapy patches are sometimes used in hospitals for patients who may benefit from essential oils but who cannot get a massage or use an aroma diffuser.
