Aromatherapy Overview
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses essential oils from plants to promote physical and emotional well-being. It involves the inhalation or topical application of these oils, which are believed to have healing properties that can affect the body and mind. Aromatherapy is commonly used for stress relief, relaxation, and to alleviate symptoms of various health conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, and headaches.
The essential oils used in aromatherapy can be applied directly to the skin, used in a diffuser to release their scent into the air, or added to a bath. There have been no reported or documented drug interactions with aromatherapy.
Ivabradine Overview
-
Ivabradine is used to treat certain adults with heart failure (condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the other parts of the body) to decrease the risk that their condition will worsen and need to be treated in a hospital. It is also used to treat a certain type of heart failure in children 6 months of age and older due to cardiomyopathy (a condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged). Ivabradine is in a class of medications called hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel blockers. It works by slowing the heart rate so the heart can pump more blood through the body each time it beats.
