Learn evergreen health preservation methods from conifers and cypresses.
This summer vacation, I went to the south of France to attend a clinical aromatherapy course. One day, we spent several hours hiking and watching wild plants on the hill of a medieval monastery. Juniper berries are the star plants of the day.

French people will harvest the black fruit of ripe juniper in autumn to make wine, and gin is also used to adding juniper fruit.

Most of southern France is limestone, which is not conducive to water accumulation and less rain, so it is very conducive to the growth of vanilla plants. There are many conifers (evergreen conifers) along the way to protect vegetation and form a natural ecology, so many wild animals and bees come to shake, and shepherds like to eat grass here. Because there are many lavender, thyme, rosemary and mint in the wild (the taste is similar to that of Oregon vanilla), sheep only eat these herbs.

Local people in South France use local materials, and when winter goes and spring comes, they choose to eat ripe and dark juniper fruit raw to recuperate their bodies, because juniper fruit is a natural diuretic and detoxifying component. I sometimes add ten pieces of minced meat and marinate it with pork belly to remove the fishy smell. But the green pine cones are immature and cannot be used.

French usage is: especially people who are weak or in kidney is not good, eat 1 capsule on the first day, and swallow it with a bite. Add 2 capsules every day the next day until you eat 65,438+05 capsules on the 65,438+05 day, then gradually reduce/kloc-0 per capsule, and add 65,438+04 capsules on the 65,438+06 day. On the day of the field plant class, we also chewed juniper fruit on the spot, which was a bit pungent and sweet.

Conifer is a plant, such as conifer, cypress, spruce, fir, cypress, Douglas fir and pine. Most of these essential oils are safe for children to use. I also know an expert who teaches CO2 essential oil in France. The scent of CO2 spruce he brought is like perfume, which is quite different from the woody smells of pine, cypress and cedar.

I am familiar with the Christmas candles made by lavender farm, which are made of lavender essential oil and Canadian spruce essential oil. The taste is very festive.

The essential oil of spruce hemlock (Hemlock canadensis) has many common names, also known as fir. Origin: Canada and North America. You'd better know its Latin name before buying. Common names of spruce are as follows: balsam of Abeito Loyo, European fir, Gilead fir, balsam fir, Pomei, Canada, Canadian balsam, fir oil, fir tree, Norwegian pine, Norwegian spruce, picea abies, picea abies, spruce, North American spruce, French spruce, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine. French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine, French Korean pine

It should be noted that most conifers and cypresses are afraid of heat, so it is best to store them in cold storage to avoid the oxidative damage of effective components caused by heat (above 25 degrees Celsius).

Previous studies have found that if the storage environment of spruce essential oil is overheated, the oxidation of essential oil may cause skin allergy. However, in the study, the effective storage content of spruce essential oil will drop sharply after six months, but it can be stored in a refrigerator for one year.

At the same time, on the spiritual level, spruce essential oil can help you explore the inside, strengthen the basic energy of your body and make you feel balanced. But it is most commonly used for intractable cough or excessive phlegm, and usually one or two of them are used in combination with frankincense, chamomile and laurel leaves.

* Asthma: Add 3 drops of Himalayan cedar, 2 drops of cypress and 1 drop of spruce to the sprayer.

Cold and flu: phlegm is too thick: use 2 drops of spruce, 2 drops of laurel leaf, 4 drops of frankincense, 20ml of base oil, chest and back, three times a day.

* Muscle aches: Add 2 drops of spruce and 2 drops of vetiver (or ginger) essential oil and 2ml of vegetable oil when taking a bath.
