Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy – Natural support for body and soul

Essential oils are much more than just pleasant scents – they have a profound effect on the body, mind, and emotions. Aromatherapy can be used specifically to regulate the nervous system, relieve inflammation, support the immune system, or activate the metabolism.

In my practice, I use aromatherapy not in isolation, but as a complementary measure in my holistic treatments – whether in trauma-sensitive support, metabolism regulation, or to support chronic illnesses.

I only use high-quality, naturally pure essential oils of therapeutic grade, which are individually tailored to your needs.

How can aromatherapy provide targeted support?

1. Trauma-sensitive procedures & stress reduction

Scents have a direct connection to the limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for emotions and memories. Certain essential oils can help promote deep relaxation, release emotional blockages, and calm the nervous system.

✅ Suitable oils:

Lavender & Bergamot – to regulate the nervous system and calm inner turmoil
Rose Oil & Neroli – for emotional stability and processing old stress patterns
Sandalwood & Vetiver – for grounding and promoting a sense of security
and much more

💡 Use:

Inhalation during talk therapy
Gentle rubbing on the pulse or solar plexus
Diffusion in the room to support regulation

2. Support for weight loss & metabolism activation

Essential oils can specifically boost metabolism, reduce cravings, and stimulate the digestive system.

✅ Suitable oils:

Grapefruit & lemon – for burning fat & reducing cravings
Ginger & peppermint – to aid digestion & activate the gastrointestinal tract
Rosemary & cypress – to promote blood circulation & support the lymphatic system

💡 Use:

Massage oil for the abdominal area to aid digestion
Inhalation to reduce emotional eating
Drops on a handkerchief to reduce appetite

3. Lymphedema, water retention & detoxification

Essential oils can stimulate lymph flow, relieve the body and promote detoxification.

✅ Suitable oils:

Cypress & juniper – for lymph activation & detoxification
Grapefruit & rosemary – diuretic & metabolism-stimulating
Ginger & lemongrass – to promote blood circulation

💡 Use:

Gentle lymphatic massage with essential oils
Foot baths to support detoxification
Diffusion or inhalation to stimulate the metabolism

4. Support for psoriasis and skin conditions

Skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, or dry skin are often strongly linked to stress, inflammation, and a weakened skin barrier. Essential oils can help reduce inflammation and promote skin regeneration.

✅ Suitable oils:

Lavender & chamomile – to soothe irritated skin
Tea tree & frankincense – anti-inflammatory & immune-boosting
Geranium & myrrh – for wound healing & skin regeneration

💡 Application:

Diluted oil in a base cream or aloe vera gel for affected skin areas
Relaxing baths with soothing oils
Inhalation to reduce stress as a trigger factor

5. Rheumatic pain & inflammation

Essential oils can help to relax muscles and joints, relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

✅ Suitable oils:

Wintergreen & eucalyptus – for pain relief & promoting blood circulation
Turmeric & ginger – anti-inflammatory & metabolism-boosting
Peppermint & lavender – cooling & relaxing

💡 Use:

Warming or cooling joint compresses
Massage blends for affected areas
Diffusion to support inflammation regulation

6. Sleep disorders & inner restlessness

Many people suffer from sleep problems, nervous restlessness, or inner tension. Essential oils can help to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest nerve) and put the body into a state of relaxation.

✅ Suitable oils:

Lavendel & Melisse – beruhigend & angstlösend
Ylang-Ylang & Vetiver – ausgleichend & erdend
Orange & Mandarine – entspannend & schlaffördernd

💡 Use:

Bedtime ritual with aromatherapy or gentle massage
Diffusion in the bedroom or on the pillow
Aromatherapy bath with calming oils
