On 30.04.2021 the working group Eifel took place again.

Because we could not visit the historic water mill due to the current situation, the working group took place online again. After a short round of introductions of the 16 participants as well as the passing on of current

“Essential and fatty plant oils for the spring cure”.

Reasons for a spring cure:

 

• Purification / detoxification
• Weight reduction
• Strengthening of the immune system
• Getting fit again, coming out of hibernation
• Do something good for yourself, be mindful, self-care
• Activate metabolism
• Alleviate physical complaints
• Increase well-being

What can a spring cure include?

• Dietary changes/restrictions
• Lots of exercise
• Lots of fresh air
• Taking time for yourself
• Massages
• Meditation/Yoga
• Herbal applications
• Aroma care

We can support the skin and immune system with these fatty plant oils:

• Hemp oil
• Linseed oil
• Milk thistle oil
• Evening primrose oil
• Black cumin oil
• Sea buckthorn oil

These oils can be taken as a cure, they have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, cholesterol-lowering, calming, skin-caring, anti-rheumatic, concentration-increasing, soothing, cell-regenerating, hormone-regulating, cholesterol-lowering, pain-relieving, blood pressure-lowering effects.

 

Here is to pay attention to a good quality, preferably use organic oils in raw food quality, from small oil mills with water-cooled screw press

With the following measures we can support the detoxification process in the body:

Oil pulling, e.g. with aroma care – oil no. 15 Mouth and oil pulling well, Jophiel aroma oils

Scalp care/brushing

Support lymph flow, e.g. with aroma care oil No. 9 Lymphwohl / No.13 Venenwohl, Jophiel aroma oils

• Brush massage
• Aroma massages
• Oil peeling
• Liver wrap, exact description can be found on

Consequences of lymph flow stimulation by aroma massages

• Tissue is decongested
• Slag substances are removed, detoxification
• Increase in resistance, antibodies are formed in the lymph nodes
• Vegetative nervous system is calmed
• Release of endorphins, thus pain relief
• Improved blood circulation
• Healing effect on the internal organs
