Did you know that...
- About 130 kg of lavender flowers are needed to bottle one kilogram of lavender essential oil, and for the same amount of peppermint essential oil, about 225 kg of Mentha Piperita leaves are needed.
- One drop of essential oil is equivalent to about 30 cups of tea.
- Frequent and prolonged exposure of oils to air leads to their oxidation, and thus to their deterioration and evaporation.
- High temperatures can change the chemical structure of essential oils, losing their original properties. They are flammable, and each oil has its own temperature at which it will ignite.
- Exposure of oils to direct sunlight can affect their color and, consequently, their composition.
- It is good for essential oils to be stored in dark colored bottles, because they filter out ultraviolet light and have a lid with a sealed closure. It is recommended to store essential oils in a cool and dry place, avoiding heat and light.
- Oils are hydrophobic, they do not mix with water, they do not dilute.
- In the case of topical application of essential oils, you need a carrier oil: jojoba, avocado, almond, olive, grape, but it is advisable to test the product on a smaller piece of skin initially, to observe possible allergic reactions.
- The potency of some plants from which essential oils are obtained depends on the time of year in which they are harvested. An example of this is Thyme. When distilled at the optimum time, it will have a high thymol content. But if it's distilled in the fall or mid-summer, it will be richer in carvacrol, which is more irritating to the skin.
- The quality of essential oils is determined by multiple factors: the region where the plant was grown, the specific fertilizer used, the type and condition of the soil, weather conditions.
- Essential oils can be extracted from various parts of plants: flowers, fruits, bark, leaves, bark, roots or from herbs and spices.
- Not only can essential oils come from different parts of plants, but different parts of the same plant can also provide different essential oils. Orange is one such example, Orange Essential Oil comes from the fruit, while Neroli Essential Oil is produced from the flowers, while Petitgrain Essential Oil comes from the leaves.
- Citrus oils are among the most common essential oils that cause photosensitivity, which can cause skin irritation, just like sunburn. This is because the compounds found in such oils, known generically as furanocoumarins, increase sensitivity to UV.
- Essential oils can be extracted by various methods, the most popular and also the safest ones include solvent extraction and distillation. Distillation makes the resulting oil more potent. For citrus fruits, the cold pressing method is used.
- Essential oils come from less than one percent of all plant species. The plant kingdom has more than a quarter of a million plant species. Of these, less than five hundred are known to yield usable essential oils, and only about a third of them are actually used in aromatherapy. The rest have applications in perfumery or other industries.
- Observed under a microscope, it can be seen that the molecules that make up essential oils are very small. This is why they are easily absorbed into the skin, and are also safer than chemically scented products, which can disrupt endocrine function.
- One of the most popular essential oils is Peppermint, which can help relieve constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, depression, stress, brain fog, memory, pain, drowsiness, headaches, indigestion, cough, muscle fatigue, and more.
- It only takes 20 seconds for essential oil molecules to reach the brain. In the next 10 minutes they reach the blood, and it takes up to 20 minutes for the molecules to embrace our entire body.
- Each 15ml bottle of nJoy-Nature contains approximately 250 drops of essential oil.
