Certain smells may bring fond memories or make people
happy, but did you know that specific aromas can have health benefits? Grinnell
Regional Medical Center’s Senior Education program will welcome Casie Olson,
LMT, an aroma therapist and massage therapist with GRMC’s integrated therapies
center. She specializes in the use of aromas as non-traditional medicine to
benefit patients using “essential oils.”
In her Senior Education Program on August 3, Olson
will describe what exactly essential oils are, and what medicinal benefits they
have in comparison to traditional medicine. Olson also will bring in samples of
essential oils, which may be purchased at Postels Community Health Park, to
show and demonstrate to the group.
This program is free and open to the public. It will
be held in the Drake Community Library with refreshments beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Looking ahead on the schedule, SEED will welcome Chad
Timm, Humanities Iowa, who will present “Working with the Enemy: German,
Italian, and Japanese Prisoners of War in Iowa during the Second World War.”
Parking is available at the Drake Community Library,
along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian Church
parking lot. Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC Communications and Development,
641-236-2593, by Thursday before the program.
