🌿 Essential Oils & Psychosis – Gentle Support Only 🌿
By Carmel Nardene Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy does not treat psychosis, however when used safely and gently, certain essential oils may support grounding, emotional regulation, anxiety relief and rest — alongside professional care.
✨ Supportive Oils (low & slow use):
• Lavender – calming the nervous system
• Frankincense – grounding & breath support
• Roman Chamomile – soothing emotional distress
• Vetiver – deep stabilising energy
• Cedarwood – comfort & safety
🌬️ Best practice:
✔ Diffuse lightly (20–30 mins only)
✔ Use personal inhalers for short support
✔ Always prioritise medical & therapeutic care
🚫 Avoid stimulating oils such as peppermint, rosemary, eucalyptus, clary sage, nutmeg and cinnamon — these may increase agitation or overwhelm.
🧠 Aromatherapy is a complementary tool, not a replacement for psychiatric care.
✨ “Gentle support for the nervous system — safety always comes first.”
