Case presentation: Peppermint aromatherapy or hand massage was used to reduce postoperative pain in three samples (two intervention, one control). Therapy was given for three days, starting on the first postoperative day with moderate pain (4-6). Interventions included measuring blood pressure and pain scale before and after therapy. Both methods subjectively reduced pain and objectively lowered blood pressure and heart rate.
