Aromatherapy is a branch of phytotherapy that uses essential oils extracted from aromatic plants through steam distillation or cold pressing to promote physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. This ancient discipline, revived by French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé in the early 20th century, is based on the therapeutic properties of concentrated aromatic molecules in essential oils. In Switzerland, aromatherapy is practised by naturopaths, ASCA/RME-certified aromatherapists, trained pharmacists and drugstore professionals in Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Bern, Basel, Fribourg and throughout French and German-speaking Switzerland. This therapeutic approach combines different routes of administration: olfaction (inhalation), diluted skin application in a carrier oil, atmospheric diffusion and sometimes oral ingestion under professional supervision. Aromatherapy effectively supports stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, seasonal respiratory discomfort, muscle and joint tension, skin problems, functional digestive disorders and immune system support. Trained aromatherapists create personalised synergies — bespoke blends of several essential oils — adapted to each constitution and condition. The quality of essential oils (100% pure, natural, botanically and biochemically defined) is essential for safe and effective practice.

Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils extracted from aromatic plants through distillation or cold pressing to support overall wellbeing.
When used correctly (diluted, in appropriate amounts) with quality products, they are generally safe. Some are contraindicated during pregnancy, for children or with certain medications.
The practitioner assesses your health status, needs and contraindications, then creates a personalised blend with precise usage instructions (method, dosage, duration).
Ingestion is possible for certain food-grade oils, but only on advice from a trained professional. Oral self-medication is not recommended.
