The changes in behavior caused by dementia can be challenging and distressing, but medication can sometimes cause symptoms or make them worse. Instead, using things like tea, aromatherapy, and spa baths and massages can soothe and relax. Known as holistic health care, this approach focuses on the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. Holistic also means offering alternative ways to boost memory and health through exercise, proper eating and hydration, and finding ways each day to keep someone with dementia fully engaged in life.
