Aromatherapy and oils for skin with radiation damage

In aromatherapy, plants unfold their special power in the essential oils but also in the magical effect of the fragrances.
Their healing effect has now been proven in numerous clinical studies and ranges from infectious diseases, gastrointestinal complaints and skin diseases to cushioning the side effects of drug therapies, in pediatrics or geriatrics.
Aromatherapy is effective everywhere.

In the specific case of alleviating the side effects of radiotherapy, helpful oil blends can be used as a preventative and aftercare or regenerative adjunct.
Essential oils such as cajeput, blue chamomile, lavender, rose, sea buckthorn or frankincense are mainly used.
Nourishing base oils include aloe vera, almond oil, evening primrose oil, wild rose oil and olive oil.

It is advisable to prepare the skin a few weeks before the radiotherapy.
This is because strengthened and healthy skin tolerates the radiation better and has a higher potential to regenerate.
