Can aromatherapy help us die well? Care well? Grieve well? Ludmila Kotalíková and Oleg Vojtíšek

Ludmila Kotalíková, aromatherapist

What scent comes to mind when you think of home? 🏡

And what comes to mind when you think of spring, the sea, holidays at grandma's, or your mom's cake? 🥧

🧴Have you ever thought that you might never experience some of them again in your life? If you had the chance, would you want to return to those moments?

What if you could do it before you died?

🎙️ Ludmila Kotalíková, aromatherapist and founder of Aromadoteky, accepted our invitation to appear on our podcast!🎙️

🌿 Aromatherapy in palliative care is not about "nice smells."
It is about memory, emotions, safety, and returning home—even if only in the mind.
When the dying person has no words left, but still feels... 🤲

💭 How can scent and touch be used to ease the suffering of the dying?
🌿 Where to start with aromatherapy in palliative care?
🥀Which oils should be used to calm, improve sleep or, conversely, stimulate, but also to warm, cool, treat reflux, constipation and dry mouth?
