According to Dr. Dietrich Gümbel
Herbal Essence Skincare
Herbal Essence Skincare (HEK) is a holistic cosmetic treatment concept based on the use of carefully selected medicinal herbal essences.
These unique treatments are designed to support healthy, radiant skin while focusing exclusively on natural, handcrafted formulations. All products are individually prepared using high-quality herbal ingredients, allowing for a gentle and personalized skincare experience.
The aim of HEK is not only to nourish and care for the skin but also to promote a deeper sense of balance and well-being.
“With natural, handcrafted essences toward the inner beauty of body, mind, and spirit.”
Herbal Essences
Herbal essences are concentrated plant aromas, commonly known as essential oils. Their fragrances stimulate the senses, are inhaled through the breath, and are also absorbed through the skin.
These natural essences may help to:
- Harmonize mental and emotional balance through their influence on the nervous system
- Support emotional well-being and vitality
- Promote and strengthen the healthy functioning of the body’s organ systems
Different aromatic plants store their essential oils in various parts of the plant. Depending on the species, these valuable compounds may be concentrated in the leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, roots, or wood.
In traditional holistic healing approaches, it is believed that humans resonate with the natural qualities and functions of plants. This connection forms the basis for using herbal essences to support balance, well-being, and the harmonious interaction of body, mind, and spirit.
