With the need for palliative care increasing as the American population ages, The International Federation of Aromatherapists has focussed this week on raising awareness of how aromatherapy can benefit.

Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 06/03/2016 --Each year in June, The International Federation of Aromatherapists aim to raise awareness of the numerous benefits of aromatherapy in a world that is seeking more natural remedies to every day struggles and issues. This year they have made Palliative Care (ongoing pain management and quality of life) the focus of the week – hoping to raise awareness of how this complimentary therapy can help.

With an aging population, there will be more cases of age related illness and cancer and as a result palliative care will become more prevalent to increase the quality of life beyond diagnosis. In the United States alone, there were 44.7 million people aged 65 or older in 2013 and they represented 14.1% of the population (approximately 1 in 70 Americans). In 2060 it is estimated that this figure will rise to 98 million.

SmartChoice Fitness' holistic brand, SC Natural, have launched a beautiful Aromatherapy Necklace Diffuser to enable users to take their aromatherapy benefits out and about with them.

'Aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years yet still new benefits are being found every day. There are many aromatherapy diffusers which people can use around the home but these are left behind the minute you go out.' Says Nigel Piper of SmartChoice Fitness, 'Getting out in the fresh air is one of the best medicines you can get, and now with our Aromatherapy Necklace, you can take your aromatherapy with you!'

The necklace works by putting drops of the essential oil of choice onto one of the pads that are supplied, the pad then is inserted into the locket which is then closed. The wearer then has the scent of their essential oil wherever they go. SC Natural's locket is not only a diffuser, but a stunning piece of jewellery. Carefully chosen for the delicate design, and made from hypoallergenic stainless steel to make it available to all skin types.

The newly launched Aromatherapy Necklace is sold on the Amazon.com platform and is currently offered at the discounted price of $23.99 – with deals on multiple purchases. To find out more information, visit the Amazon page here http://www.amazon.com/aromatherapynecklace/dp/B01C5SA2CK
