Aromatherapy is a natural form of treatment that uses essential oils extracted from plants, flowers, trees and herbs. By inhaling the scent through the nose or applying it to the skin, there is an immediate
communicated with, among other things, the limbic system, the part of our brain that is connected to emotions, memories and mood.
The effects of aromatherapy are subtle but profound. Certain scents can bring peace, while others make you alert or help you process tension. Lavender, for example, is known for its calming properties, while citrus scents often have a refreshing and invigorating effect.
Aromatherapy can help with complaints such as stress, anxiety, insomnia and even pain perception. Some hospitals already use it to help with nausea after surgery or tension during cancer treatment, for example.
In our practice, we use aromatherapy as part of a broader integrative approach. This means that we look at your personal situation and together determine whether and how scent can support you. The oils we use are of therapeutic quality and tailored to your needs.
