What exactly are essential oils? Essential oil is what gives the smell of pink or rosemary twig. Constitutes a form of liquid droplets or sakcheta in plants. Molecular structure of essential oils like those of human hormones and this explains their strong impact on the human body. The use of essential oils is a science and izkustvo.Tezi oils are not greasy and are actually very volatile ie evaporate quickly. Each essential oil has different properties and opportunities for impact. Some quiet, some toning. Their intoxicating scents are a source of real pleasure and enjoyment. They make us feel better internally. Next time when you are sad or angry, give a pleasant feeling that comes the scent of a fragrant flowers or essential oil alone and you will see in the simple power of aromatherapy.

It is a miracle that such a pleasant and effective treatment, as the ancient Egyptian pyramids has remained hidden and unnamed for nearly 5000 years. This represents a holistic approach that does not use toxic or strong drugs, and therefore no adverse side effects. Aromatherapy is a careful manual therapy designed to reduce the effects of stress and to restore the imbalance between mind, body and soul. Aromatherapy works in parallel with the forces of nature, not against them - so it is able to lead to genuine healing and in no case is some form of medicine that suppresses the symptoms. Essential oils are dynamic in many ways. They enter the body, are taking their action and leave it in an easy and casual way. Although not remain in the body more than 3-4 hours, they unlock the healing process that can last for days or weeks. They act at several levels simultaneously, by influencing the authorities, functions, cells and fine energy. It turns out the overall impact on the body rather than treat individual disease, is attacking the causes rather than symptoms and often stops the development of the disease in her fetus, ie aromatherapy is preventive.

Due to the holistic nature of aromatherapy in a sense is not so important what you are complaining about - just like aromatherapy can help. Aromatherapy has a significant effect in common disorders associated with stress, PMS, depression, insomnia, pain, digestive disorders, infections, migraines, skin problems.

All oils are antiseptic and protect against bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, allergens and toxins. They strengthen the immune system, facilitate the healing of broken bones, wounds and burns. Some oils dissolve gallstones, and other help for easy and painless birth, others enhance memory, the fourth drive away sadness, etc. They are the ideal weapon to combat the spread of internally transmitted infections.

Essential oils are extremely versatile degree and can serve different purposes. They are fully used in cosmetic treatment, such as fragrances, enhancing mood, to flavor foods and tobacco, the manufacture of perfumes and more. Essential oils are synergistic - they act in harmony. Very important rule is the blending of two to five oils, since the effects of the mixture is tens times more than the constituent essences.

Distillation (Rose Otto Extraction Method)

Distillation
Distillation is the process of separating a mixture of liquids the component parts by partial evaporation and condensation of vapors. Money liquefy when cooled. So the resulting liquid is called the distillate. Boiling liquids when their vapor pressure equals the external. For pure substances boiling temperature is characteristic quantity, which depends only on the external pressure.


Distillation at normal pressure

Distillation at normal pressure to make these substances when heated, do not undergo changes and have very high boiling point. This method is widely used in laboratory practice.


Distillation at reduced pressure

Where substances have a high boiling point or undergo chemical change at this temperature, decomposition or oxidation is applied distillation under reduced pressure. This method is known by the name vacuum distillation. The apparatus for this type of distillation is considerably more complex than the previous case.


Steam distillation

Steam distillation is possible when distilled component and water are mutually insoluble. As to the apparatus for this method, it does not differ much from that for distillation at ambient temperature. You only need to add a vessel for receiving steam which is passed through the heated mixture for distillation. How is this method? It is clear that the liquid begins to boil, when the total pressure is the sum of partial pressures of individual components and water vapor equals atmospheric pressure. According to the law of Dalton, the boiling temperature of the mixture will be lower than for each of the components taken separately.


,
He was also another type of distillation - fractional distillation. It is based on the different boiling temperatures of the components of the liquid. An example is the separation of gasoline ligrosin, kerosene and other oil during processing.



Destructive distillation

Destructive distillation is carried out by digestion of more complex compounds simpler. For example, in the dry distillation of coal for heating, and other wood in the absence of air is obtained solid residue and volatile products (benzene, ammonia, etc.).
