First, aromatic plants

In the 500,000 species of plants in nature, only 400 kinds of volatile essential oils can be extracted or used. This kind of plant is called “aromatic plant”. The aromatic plants give people a feeling of sorrow, medicinal value and profound The meaning of this, more and more applied to our lives, the fat-soluble aromatic molecules in the plant are found in the flowers, leaves, roots, stems, seeds, and fruits of plants, and are based on alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ketones, etc. Forms exist, extracting these substances, that is, "essential oil."

Second, the secret of plants

As early as the 19th century, English biologist Darwin proposed that plants can move freely and easily, and they are as sensitive as human beings. In addition, plants have super-consciousness and inductive power, and can also express rich emotions. Each plant is a unique soul individual. They can see through the real thoughts of human beings and react to their ideas.

Aromatic plants are a group of plants that share the attributes of both medicinal plants and spice plants. In addition to its medicinal value, aromatic plants also contain aroma components, and this ingredient can be extracted as an essential oil for use in various industries such as medicine, food processing, and cosmetics. This kind of essential oil is an important part of natural flavor and fragrance. Because natural spices have unique fragrances that cannot be replaced by synthetic fragrances, they also contain trace elements that have not yet been clarified and have special contributions in aroma, and most of them are not poisonous. For reasons such as side effects, the production of natural flavors is not bad. In developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan, natural flavors are replacing artificial synthetic fragrances in various fields in an unstoppable trend. At the same time, in modern scientific research, it also found that in addition to many medicinal ingredients and aroma components, it also contains antioxidants, antibacterial substances and natural pigments, which means that aromatic plants can not only replace chemical synthetic flavors, but also It means that many synthetic antioxidants, antibacterial substances and chemical dyes that are widely used will be replaced by aromatic plants in the near future.

Common aromatic plants include: lavender, hyacinth, rosemary, mint, thyme, basil, St. John's wort, chamomile, spearmint, etc.

Third, the natural healing power of plants

   1, sterilization

Essential oils can destroy the production environment of bacteria, thereby inhibiting their production and diffusion. At the same time, essential oils can improve the body's immunity and enhance the body's resistance. Repair the body from the root.

2, detoxification

Essential oils can accelerate the flow of lymph, promote detoxification, and promote the formation of antibodies to lymph nodes to enhance immunity. In addition, essential oils can detoxify the mind in addition to detoxification.

3. Regeneration

The main component of 70%-80% essential oil is carbon atoms, and the basic substances that constitute the human body, such as proteins, fats and sugars, are composed of carbon atoms. Due to this structural similarity, the skin can be repaired and has antioxidant function. Skin elasticity and vitality.

Fourth, the meaning of life of essential oil

Plants secrete natural substances to help them adapt to the living environment. This natural substance is an active essential oil.

1. Adjustment and adaptation

The regulation of essential oils on plants, including the transmission of information, the acceptance of information and communication functions, etc. When all essential oils act on the human body, their functions are like neurotransmitters, which cooperate with the communication between cells and systems, so that we can live through the difficulties of life. And stimulate the potential of life.

2. Fight against harmful microorganisms

Essential oils can tell which bacteria should kill and which bacteria to keep. In addition, essential oils can kill viruses and molds.

3. Preserve vitality

When the plant itself burns, the roots of the plant will remain. At this time, the essential oil has a rebirth for the plant and regenerates the plant. When it acts on humans, it will give the human being a sense of reincarnation.

4. Participate in metabolism and balance

When essential oils are applied to humans, essential oils have good oxygen carrying capacity and purification functions, which are of great significance to human preventive health care. Essential oils have self-balancing ability, which can promote the body to return to the intermediate state to maintain the body's own internal balance.

5. Therapeutic effect

Essential oil is the best "heart doctor" in the human body. When the body is injured or emotionally injured, the essential oil can exert its powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing effects, thereby promoting wound healing and calming the trauma of the heart.

6. Resonance

The molecules of essential oils are small enough to penetrate cells of the human body and emit a frequency of bio-electrical flow that resonates with human tissue. Different essential oils can produce different frequencies, so they will resonate in our tissues and organs. In addition, essential oils Will resonate with our spirit, emotions, and even ideas. But it does not resonate with diseases, toxins and negative emotions in the body.

5. The main methods for extracting volatile aromatic substances are:

1 steam distillation method. The raw material is uniformly placed on the porous steaming mat in the steamer, water is added under the steaming mat, boiled or steam is introduced, and when the boiling point is reached, the aromatic substance escapes from the oil cells in the plant tissue and is vaporized together with the water. The steam is mixed and passed through the conduit into the condenser. The steam condenses into a mixture of water and oil and then flows into the oil-water separator. The oil and water have different specific gravity, and the two can be separated automatically. The resulting product is an essential oil such as peppermint oil, geranium oil and the like.

2 volatile solvent extraction method. Some raw materials, such as certain flowers, may be degraded by high temperatures during distillation, or because of their high boiling point, which is difficult to distill. In operation, the raw material is first immersed in a certain volume of volatile solvent (such as petroleum ether). After the solvent penetrates the cell wall, the essential oil in the protoplast is selectively dissolved, and then diffused to the outside of the cell and transferred into the solvent. After filtering, the extract is first distilled under normal pressure and under vacuum to obtain a semi-solid extract. Such as jasmine extract, white orchid extract and so on. The extract is extracted with alcohol to obtain a net oil.

3 grinding method. Mainly used to extract citrus essential oils. The oil sac of the outer layer of the peel is pierced by a sharpening protrusion of a fruit grinder or a press to make the essential oil flow out, and then the oil-water mixture is clarified, filtered, and centrifuged to obtain an essential oil. The residue after pressing can be further recovered by distillation to recover the residual essential oil. Such as orange peel oil.

6. Uses: After extracting aromatic products from plants and blending them into flavors and other flavoring materials, they are mainly used for:

1 food flavoring and seasoning, such as flavors added to candy, beverages, etc.;

2 days with chemicals, cosmetics, hygiene products, such as soap, toothpaste, perfume, sanitary incense, etc.;

3 formulating drugs, such as peppermint oil, menthol, etc. used to make cool oil;

4 extracting the individual fragrance, such as separating the aniseed brain from the fennel oil;

5 as a raw material for some synthetic fragrances, such as Litsea cubeba oil (mainly containing citral) can be used as a synthetic ionone series products;

6 Tobacco, stationery, etc.

Seven, comprehensive use: purification of the environment, health care (special ingredients in the aroma can stimulate the respiratory center, thereby promoting the body to absorb oxygen, exhaling carbon dioxide, so that the brain is adequate oxygen, can maintain strong energy for a long time.), into the drug treatment Disease (sleeping, flat cough, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, asthma, calming), spices and food (fragrance, perfume, incense pillow, fragrant tea, etc.)
