Moreover, the use of essential oil in daily life can also purify the air, sterilize and prevent some infectious diseases. However, most people don't know much about the functions of various essential oils.
In the world of essential oils, you will hear a bunch of nouns without them. After all, every can of essential oil needs extractive distillation. If you want to get involved, you must know the source, so that you can explore further! Here, Ma Cheng will explain the basic definition, usage and composition of some essential oils from the perspective of beginners.
Pure dew (some are called manna)
Pure dew is distilled water after distillation of essential oil. It contains a small amount of essential oil, which usually has the same effect as essential oil. For example, pure rose dew, such as white rose dew, whitening and moisturizing, the effect is similar to that of rose essential oil. Some pure dew can be drunk, but it must be confirmed by the buyer and guaranteed by the organic quality, such as rock rose with low acidic ph value.
There are many ways to extract essential oil (pure essential oils), and distillation is a very common method. There are also sperm extracted with solvents, which are usually not suitable for the skin.
All kinds of essential oils have different effects, such as tea tree antibacterial, lavender antibacterial and orange.
Orange helps digestion, and the system promotes appetite and endorphins. There are many ways to use essential oil, such as dripping in an oxygen machine, incense, making ointment/cream, or adding a proper proportion of base oil to make compound.
The compound essential oil is made of 2 ~ 10% essential oil and base oil. Because essential oil itself is corrosive, it needs to be blended with vegetable oil before it can be used on the skin. Base oil, like edible oil at home, is extracted from plants, but without the subsequent deodorization and refining process, it retains the original characteristics of various vegetable oils.
Jojoba oil or almond oil is the most commonly used essential oil, because they are the most tasteless essential oil, so the taste effect of essential oil is also very important. Using vegetable oil will try to avoid that kind of odorous oil.
I think the advantage of essential oil is that you can master the quality and composition by yourself, and you can also make different changes according to your physical condition. "Essential oil is not an artifact", like Chinese medicine, is used to recuperate slowly. Essential oil is not a strange thing, but it is a simple thing that is beneficial to the skin and body. It won't be as quick-acting as skin care products on the market, but the effect of slow conditioning is definitely different from other effects. Because there are no added ingredients, it can't be preserved for a long time. Some essential oils with low stability (chamomile, etc. ) It should be kept in the refrigerator. If you are pregnant or ready to get pregnant, it is recommended not to touch body essential oil!
