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.
The techniques of
preparation of scented oils by maceration of flowers, herbs and spices in
vegetable oils has remained largely the same over the
centuries, until the development of the process of distilling
the essence which allowed to replace at least part of the
long process of maceration, giving also aromatic
oils therapeutic
efficacy and safety of use unknown before.
The
therapeutic properties of the essential oils in pharmacology are also the
foundation of their special and profound action in dermo-cosmetics.
That
branch of aromatherapy known as aroma cosmetic uses the power
of penetration through the tissues of the essences to establish beauty
treatments that are not limited to the surface of the skin, but to be correct in
a stable cells renewal process.
The antiseptic
power of the essences is active, not only for lesions, wounds and
sores, even for a general time-disinfectant action to rid
the skin of microinfection that cause pimples, eczema, rashes, etc..
Essential
oils perform the function of stimulating the exhausted tissues, promote cell
renewal and maintain constant the level of purification.
The
best results are obtained with blends of essential oils that work
in synergy with oils or creams or emulsions.
The
most recent research has developed dermo-cosmetic functional
products based on specific essences for various treatments that
integrate the therapeutic aspect-base with the aesthetic.
More practically, the
plants can be considered as a laboratory containing many
chemicals, extractable in different ways depending on the method used. From
each of these methods it is possible to obtain a final product with specific
requirements and characteristics, with specific therapeutic
indications. The extractive techniques applied to material of
vegetable nature, are employed as well as for obtaining the pure
active principle, removing unwanted components from the plants.
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
