Aromatherapy

Have had multiple areas in our organization requesting to use aromatherapy (QueaseEase) for nausea. Our understanding is that the Joint Commission expectation is that aromatherapy used for specific therapeutic purpose would be considered a medication and would need to be treated as such.

Would like to hear how others have addressed this issue--including formulary management approach, supply from pharmacy or from warehouse/storeroom, policies/procedures.

Thanks!

Don
