Balsam oil workshop in Schönefeld: Learn more about oils

ESSENTIAL OILS, the concentrated power of plants with all their refinements to attract insects, repel pests and overcome diseases.

Since time immemorial, we have been fascinated by plants, their scents, their essences, their oils and juices. They nourish body and soul, they keep our mind busy and are essential for life itself. Plants alleviate diseases in homeopathy and heal in medicine. Essential oils can accompany us in times of weakness and help us to cope with them better. Strengthen our psyche and improve wellbeing. As perfumes, they beguile our senses and spread wellbeing just by inhaling. Plants provide oxygen and bring us satisfaction just by looking at them.

Your ability to make us feel good works not only through a walk in the forest, but also in the form of evaporating an essential oil, e.g. in an aroma lamp or on a scent stone. We know these beneficial effects in the sauna and the scent of a good infusion when the scents improve our well-being. We can also use essential oils to flavor.

An example of a good night oil: mix 2 tablespoons of almond oil with a drop of vanilla, a drop of mandarin and a drop of lavender and apply to warm (adult) skin after bathing or showering. A cup of tea, a blanket, a candle, a good read and leave the hectic day behind you...

Well-known herbs include eucalyptus, thyme and sage, not only for cooking, but also in sweets and tea, where they alleviate coughs and hoarseness and are expectorant. In short, they soothe, refresh, soothe and scent and spice.

There are so many possible applications for just as many areas of application. In the workshop, you will learn how to make an oil extract from plants and how to stir an ointment from it or make an oil mixture for a specific purpose.

We will discuss together which mix, which purpose and which topic the workshop should have.
