A traditional and centuries old pharmacy in the heart of Rome |
A lot of Italians still rely on suggestions made by their family pharmacist
to obtain botanical remedies healing the skin.
In Italy what we commonly call “Erboristeria”is a sort of herbal pharmacy
where our pharmacists, historically named aromatists, work on, study and
practice ancient healing formulations based on the use of the natural herbs, to
provide people affected by particular skin condition with a customized cure.
Aromacosmetics are based on the therapeutic action of extracted herbs and
flowers and essentials oils.
The sources and quality of the row natural ingredients play a primary role,
harvest must occur in season and in the (balsamic time) when the plants offer
the most of their therapeutic properties
The three steps to follow to prepare an essential oil to be used in
cosmetics-Maceration-Filtering-Distilled.
1) MACERATION;
Parts of the fresh plant are placed in an airtight
container and covered with almond oil or other base oils for 30 days
2) FILTERING AND SCREENING;
After this period the oil is filtered and transferred into another
container and skips to the pressing plant mixed with oil that contains most of
the functional substances in the plant itself. Two more days of resting, then a
second screening and other purifying processes occur before the oil,
filtered and pure, is ready for distillation.
3)DISTILLED;
Essential oils are obtained by steam distillation.
The pressurized steam is introduced into the lower part of
the distiller and passes through the plant parts or oil to
vaporize the volatile oils contained in them. It is a
method that applies to most of the aromatic plants and exploits the
physical properties of essences, in particular their
volatility.It is to separate the essential oil from the plant
origin using a jet of water vapor, which invests plant
tissues and "carries" the essence. From the
process you get two final products: the
distillate and the aromatic water. This is the water
that comes from the condensation of the
same steam, scented by a small fraction of
essence dissolved in it.
For centuries Italian alchemists and herbalists have relied on the healing
properties of natural plants and flowers to heal dry skin and to
ameliorate the effects of aging. It is an age-old practice that perhaps hasn’t
been improved on.
