I therefore turned to phyto-aromatherapy to enhance patient care.<\/p><p>Essential oils open up new possibilities, particularly in recurrent cystitis, where infections persist despite antibiotics due to resistant biofilms. Used over the medium and long term, they help tackle these biofilms and improve the effectiveness of treatments.<\/p><p>I also use them for post-operative healing, where they provide a real benefit for difficult wounds.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #800080\"><strong>Which blend do you use most often?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>With experience, I have refined my prescriptions by combining the properties of essential oils with pathophysiology.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udc49 For chronic, resistant infections, I prescribe oral oleocapsules, combining essential oils with anti-infectious properties (such as oregano, cinnamon or peppermint).<\/p><p>\ud83d\udc49 For wound healing, I mainly use lavender essential oil (0.3% for children up to 5% for adults in calendula carrier oil)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88db792 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"88db792\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Philippe Colls explains why and how he has incorporated essential oils into the management of urinary tract infections and wound healing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":11330,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jet_sm_ready_style":"","_jet_sm_style":"","_jet_sm_controls_values":"","_jet_sm_fonts_collection":"","_jet_sm_fonts_links":"","footnotes":""},"categories-infotheque":[60],"class_list":["post-11179","infotheque","type-infotheque","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories-infotheque-infectiology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
