IN GENERAL

Essential oils are very valuable substances, extracted from the so-called aromatic plants, and known since ancient times.

They can be used both for inhalations and for oral intake, but also for epidermal absorption thanks to massages and foot baths.

Capturing the odorous essence of plants and preserving their scent is an activity pursued by man since ancient times. The extraction of aromatic essences is an ancient art, which has engaged mankind since time immemorial.

Our first ancestors understood the powerful effects of aromas and used them in religious ceremonies, in the preparation of perfumes and ointments and as first therapeutic remedies, through fumigation of aromatic woods and resins, to induce calm and relaxation or euphoria.

What is meant by essential oils

Essential oils or essential oils are natural products, obtained by extraction from plant material rich in "essences" belonging to herbs and medicinal plants, so-called "aromatic". Once extracted, they appear as oily, liquid, volatile, and fragrant substances like the plant they come from.

Although called "oils" their molecular structure and consistency is very different from normal vegetable oils, to which we are used. Essential oils are substances of very complex composition that represent the most regal part of the plant, present in the form of tiny droplets in the petals of flowers, in the peel of fruits, in the resin and bark of trees and in the roots of herbs and aromatic plants.

They are volatile elements, soluble in alcohol and oil, but not in water. The quantity contained in a vegetable depends on the species, the climate and the type of soil.

The properties and applications of essential oils

When we smell the perfume emanating from a plant, the aromatic molecules reach our olfactory mucosa, located at the top of the nasal cavity, covered with "cilia".

These olfactory cells transform odor, the chemical stimulus, into an electrical impulse. This impulse thus reaches the brain, where it is linked to a previous olfactory impression, recalling more or less beautiful emotions.

Inhalation is therefore the most direct and immediate application, as the olfactory stimulations are the only ones to pass directly into the cerebral cortex, without being filtered by the receptor center of the thalamus, for a preliminary analysis.

This explains why a smell or a perfume can instantly evoke extremely vivid memories of lived experiences, even a long time ago.

In this case, in fact, more than a simple memory it is almost a reliving of the past experience, which reappears forcefully. The memory triggered by a smell is therefore much more intense than that evoked by an image or sound.

For this reason, in subtle aromatherapy, essential oils are used to rebalance the psychic and emotional sphere.

Applications in this area can be environmental diffusion, aromatic baths, fumigations, saunas.

Once inhaled, they reach the lungs, penetrate the capillaries located under their surface and, through these, spread into the major blood vessels, which distribute them throughout the body.

Furthermore, the molecules of essential oils have a lot of affinity with the tissues of the human body, so they can easily penetrate the skin, passing through the hair follicles, enter the circulation, through the blood or through the lymph and interstitial fluid.

The applications in this case are topical use, through massages with essential oils, or dilutions in vegetable oils, creams, ointments and lotions or more simply in baths, showers, foot baths, etc., thus favoring their epidermal absorption.
