The gift of the earth-Essential Oils

Spices used for aromatherapy, one type is derived from animal secretions, such as musk and ambergris; the other type is derived from the flowers, fruits, roots, stems, and leaves of plants. In ancient times, incense was mainly used for incense and natural emission. As a result, the fragrance used for aromatherapy was mostly solid and very little liquid, or although there was liquid in the extraction process, it was limited by the fumigation method and was finally immersed in a burnable solid state. The carrier is not impossible.

Spices used for aromatherapy in ancient times were mainly in linear and block shapes. The Buddhist incense from ancient times to the present is mostly incense, which is inserted into the incense burner after being ignited and slowly burned to the root, which is called "the power rule of a stick of incense". Incense to the Buddha is usually three-pillars, but there are also those with one pillar. According to the shape of the three-pillar incense, there are experts who use the shape of the three-pillar incense to predict bad luck and good fortune, forming twelve incense hexagrams, or twenty-four hexagrams. "High fragrance" comes from the hexagram image.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", the Baoyu and the group of skirt-pin sisters need to wear a sachet with them. The spices in the sachets are mostly lumpy and granular. Choosing different scented incense sticks according to the seasons and personal preferences, not only shows the identity but also looks interesting. For those who have minor illnesses and need to be treated for a long time, the doctor also prescribes a little spice for the patients who can afford it, and puts it in a sachet to receive it from time to time, or burn it in front of the sick bed to assist the treatment.

Mosquito-repellent incense is a common aromatherapy material in modern life, but it is embarrassing to mention it at this time. It is indeed disrespectful to compare its killing function with Buddha incense; but to use its "crude" and the sachets of treasures and skirts. Co-narration, but also hurt Daya. However, mosquito coils are indeed a kind of aromatherapy, although they do not want to be smelled when they are burned, they are specially designed for mosquitoes and bugs to enjoy.

As for the "Mixiang" in the film and television drama, it is mostly a legend. If it does have its fragrance, it will inevitably be included in the aromatherapy category, adding a negative role to the aromatherapy family.

The development of aromatherapy materials in modern times has turned to liquid, called essential oils. I often speculate that the reason why modern spices are sold and used in liquid form is mostly because of the light of glass. Because one of the extraction methods of modern spices is the extraction method of ancient rapeseed oil, and the yield of Essential Oil is far lower than that of rapeseed oil, which can be used to drip gold from the stomach. It is not easy to make the size of the milliliter level with a pottery containing rapeseed oil. The invention of glass and its blowing process, just like it was made for essential oils, hit it off instantly.
Modern aromatherapy materials are taken from the flowers, fruits, roots, stems and leaves of plants. Wherever there are materials, the extraction methods are also increasing. There are distillation, extrusion, solvent extraction, and cold soaking methods. Wait. If you look closely at these methods, you will find that the extraction process of essential oils covers more than half of modern industry.

1. Distillation is the process of making liquor, as well as the process of extracting gasoline and diesel from petroleum.

2. The extrusion method is also known as the squeeze method, and we use this method to extract edible oil in our daily lives.

3. Solvent extraction is one of the extraction processes of Chinese patent medicines. It is a process of Chinese medicine that has lasted for hundreds of years. However, it is rumored that a small workshop for extracting peanut oil also uses a solvent extraction method to extract the last drop of oil in peanut residue. The pursuit is the oil yield. The solvent iron is different from the solvent used in traditional Chinese medicine. The solvent composition is not safe. As for whether large production lines are used, it is unclear. It is just that a big-name peanut oil merchant desperately confessed that he is "squeezing peanut oil" in its advertisement, which is unavoidable.

4. The cold soaking method is extremely common in our country, which is to soak pharmaceutical wine, and 90% of the lemonade in western food is also included in the cold soaking method.

These extraction processes of essential oils have borrowed from modern industrial processes, or whether modern industries have borrowed from essential oils is still unknown. However, judging from the connection between its process and modern industry, the extraction process of modern essential oils undoubtedly has the characteristics of modern industrialization.

The essential oils for modern essential aromatherapy are divided into different kinds of single prescriptions such as refreshing, soothing, physiotherapy, and deworming from the common effect. In professional physiotherapy, several single essential oils may be used in compound products according to the needs during physiotherapy to achieve different results. Physiotherapy effect.

It seems that while reaping the aromatherapy life from the ship, and accumulating some foreign essence, it seems that we need something more.
