Aromatherapy
The quintessence of plants
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of aromatic plant extracts in the form of essential oils.
Used since the dawn of time, these essential oils never cease to amaze our senses, to move us, and above all to surprise us with their formidable therapeutic efficacy.
Essential oils are composed of dozens, often hundreds, of different molecules. Their many properties are intrinsically linked to their chemical structure.
The main properties of essential oils: antibacterial, anti-fungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic, immunomodulatory and immunostimulant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant, mucolytic, anti-histaminic, neuroregulatory, endocrine-regulating, vasculotropic, cardiotonic, antispasmodic, digestive, hepatostimulant, anti-toxic, antioxidant, etc.
In other words, they can be used to treat a wide range of illnesses - physical, psychological and nervous - in an entirely natural, non-iatrogenic way.
Essential oils are used orally (capsules and drops), rectally, vaginally, nasally, cutaneously and auricularly. For general well-being, they are also readily diffused into the atmosphere using diffusers
Essential oils are particularly effective for:
Dermatological disorders
ENT disorders
Gastroenterological conditions
Gynecological disorders
Respiratory conditions
Functional disorders
Psycho-neurological disorders
Rheumatological conditions
Urological diseases
