At De Groene Linde, we have been offering our Linde Care range for some time now. This is a special fragrance range designed for use in the care sector. This wonderful range is already being used in many care settings, with excellent results. We have reviewed the range, softened its look slightly and made some adjustments to make these products easier to use. In response to requests from the healthcare sector, we have also developed new products to provide even more support in healthcare settings in a natural way.
It is not only healthcare organisations that can make use of these delightful scents. The Linde Care range can also support the day-to-day work of informal carers and outreach staff in the healthcare sector.
Why use essential oils in healthcare?
It is widely known that essential oils can be of great benefit to the wellbeing of both people and animals. For example, many people know that lavender has a calming effect and that mandarin has an uplifting effect. In the care sector in particular, it is lovely to work with natural products to help people, for example, let go of their anxieties. It can also sometimes be nice to help a residential group find some peace of mind or to do something to give the group a positive boost.
We are learning more and more about the effects of scents on people with dementia, for example. A great deal of research is being carried out, but it often feels as though the findings are not being taken entirely seriously. This is a shame, as it is a natural product and, if used correctly, it can’t do any harm…
To ensure that Linde Care products are used correctly, we have developed a wonderful workshop to introduce these fantastic products to the healthcare sector. As the blends are designed for well-known themes in the care sector, it is already very clear which product to use and when. The workshop also focuses extensively on the ways in which you can use the products and how to look after yourself energetically. People working in the care sector are so good at giving attention and love to others that they sometimes forget about themselves 😊.
What products are available in the Linde Care range?
The Linde Care range includes a variety of products covering familiar themes in healthcare:
♡ 𝙴𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚡𝚝𝚛𝚊 𝚍𝚒𝚔𝚔𝚎 𝚔𝚗𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚕 𝚖𝚎𝚝 𝚍𝚎 𝙱𝚎 𝙴𝚖𝚋𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚎𝚍
A strong arm around you in times of grief – that is what this blend can offer the client. It provides comfort and peace. It is also a great option for clients to use when they no longer feel that basic sense of security at home.
♡ 𝚆𝚎𝚎𝚜 𝚔𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚝𝚒𝚐 𝚖𝚎𝚝 𝚍𝚎 𝙱𝚎 𝚂𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐
This blend gives strength and courage to accept the new situation. It’s a lovely way to offer support to people as they arrive. For many people, change is a huge challenge, especially when it is irreversible.

This scent soothes and relaxes, helping you enjoy a wonderful night’s sleep. It will also make it easier to fall asleep.

It’s lovely to use in the living room to create some positive vibes! But it’s also great to use when someone’s feeling a bit down. A brilliant scent to start the day off right 😉
♡ 𝙻𝚊𝚊𝚝 𝚕𝚘𝚜 𝚎𝚗 𝚕𝚊𝚊𝚝 𝚔𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗 𝚠𝚊𝚝 𝚎𝚛 𝚔𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗 𝚐𝚊𝚊𝚝 𝚖𝚎𝚝 𝙱𝚎 𝙵𝚛𝚎𝚎
It’s not just a pleasant scent for the clients; it’s also nice for their loved ones to break free from old habits and customs in this new situation. By letting go, energy can flow freely once more.
♡ 𝙻𝚊𝚊𝚝 𝙱𝚎 𝙵𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚓𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚞𝚗𝚎𝚗 𝚋𝚒𝚓 𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚜𝚝
Anxiety is common amongst older people with dementia. Fears from the past are relived. This scent can help them to let go of these feelings.
♡ 𝙽𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚞𝚌𝚑𝚝𝚓𝚎𝚜? 𝚂𝚙𝚛𝚊𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚝 𝚠𝚎𝚐 𝚖𝚎𝚝 𝙱𝚎 𝙵𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚑!
As the name suggests, it’s a lovely, refreshing spray! Great for use in the loo or any room where unpleasant odours linger.

This blend is particularly suitable for vaping in the evening. Evenings are peaceful because the ingredients have a calming effect. This blend helps to ground your aura, allowing you to feel calm and secure and sleep more deeply.

♡ 𝙶𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚐, 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚔𝚘𝚞𝚍𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚗 𝚑𝚘𝚎𝚜𝚝? 𝙻𝚎𝚔𝚔𝚎𝚛 𝚜𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝚖𝚎𝚝 𝚍𝚎 𝙱𝚎 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚝𝚑𝚢 𝙱𝚊𝚕𝚖 𝚘𝚏 𝚐𝚎𝚋𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚔 𝚍𝚎 𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚍𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛
The balm has expectorant properties, helping to loosen a persistent cough. It stimulates the body’s natural healing process and boosts the immune system. Use the blend in a diffuser to care for those who are unwell on the ward and to protect those without symptoms. It is also lovely to use in a spray bottle as a room spray.
♡ 𝙿𝚒𝚓𝚗 𝚒𝚗 𝚐𝚎𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚝𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚗 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗? 𝙶𝚎𝚋𝚛𝚞𝚒𝚔 𝙱𝚎 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚏𝚢 𝙱𝚊𝚕𝚖

When the time comes to say farewell to life, Serenity is a beautiful scent. One will be cradled in the arms of the divine, and the transition from life to death will be gentle. This scent also has a comforting and calming effect on family members and friends.
Implementation in the workplace
There are various ways to use the products. During the workshop, you’ll learn exactly how to use them correctly. But here are a few tips to get you started:
❧ Use the spray for an immediate effect. You can use it as an aura spray or a room spray
❧ Use the oil in a diffuser to create a positive atmosphere in the room
❧ Use the oil on a scent pad or scent patch to apply the frequency to one person
❧ Use a rollerball for the client containing the desired fragrance concentration
❧ Give a brief hand massage to help the scent’s beneficial effects take hold in your client’s system. Just taking a moment to give your client your full attention is worth so much!
❧ There is also a wonderful Palliative Care Kit available, containing lovely products to use during the final stages of life. Read here Everything about this product.
Would you like to work with our products too?
That’s possible! I’d love to, in fact! Because thanks to you, this product can spread through the healthcare sector like an oil slick 😉.
We offer this workshop to teams in the healthcare sector, but of course also to those working in home care and informal carers who would like to undertake further training themselves. Do take a look at the website among the workshops and training courses when the next workshop will be held at De Groene Linde in Heiloo. During the workshop, you’ll experience the power of essential oils for yourself by taking part in various exercises.
Do you work at a care organisation and would you like your team to receive further training in the use of essential oils with clients? If so, please get in touch with us by email about the possibilities. During the training session with your team, you’ll receive a wealth of information and a starter pack of products so that you can put what you’ve learnt into practice straight away. You can send us an email or give us a quick call to get information straight away.
