Essential Oil Constituents Continued:
What is in essential oils that is the active ingredients? These are a few more of the "constituents" that make up essential oils:
9. Carboxylic acids: These constituents are only minor parts of an essential oil, rarely comprising more than 1 - 2 percent. They are easy to recognize because they always have the word "acid" in their name. Examples are cinnamic acid, in cinnamon; germanic acid, in geranium; and valerianic acid, in valerian. Carboxylic acids are stimulating and cleansing and are very reactive with other components.
10. Esters: Oils composed mainly of esters include birch and wintergreen. The names of esters end in "ate". Esters usually have a strong, sweet aroma. Linalyl acetate is found in bergamot; aryl acetate, in Helichrysum; isobutyl angelate, in Roman chamomile; citronellyl formate, in geranium; menthyl acetate, in peppermint; and boranyl acetate, the main constituent in pine, spruce, juniper, and fir. To make an ester, a carboxylic acid and an alcohol are combined. Esters are soothing balancing, antifungal, and stress and emotional releasing.
11, IxudesL These are oxygenated hydrocarbons and are usually derived from terpenes, alcohols, or ketones that have been oxidized. Examples are bisabolol oxide found in German chamomile, piperidone oxide, in peppermint, Linalool oxide, in hyssop, rose oxide, in rose; scleral oxide in clary sage and humulene oxide, in clove. These oxides are in very small quantities by most oils produce the oxide 1,8 cineole, also known as eucalyptol, in varying amounts. This is more abundantly found in eucalyptus, rosemary, and thyme. Oils with 1.8cineole are known for respiratory-decongesting and sinus clearing benefits.
12. Lactones: This constituent group is characterized by tongue-twisting names. Bergaptene is found in fennel essential oil; Furano-germacrene, in myrrh; and umbelliferone, in anise. Celery seed is an oil with higher amounts of lactones. Lactones, like ketones, are usually decongesting and expectorant. They generally have mild aromas. They seem to have antiseptic, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory properties, according to Dr. Daniel Penoel.
Tomorrow will be the final 2 constituents Coumarins and Furanoids. After that, we will move on to Plant Chemotypes and Constituent Variability.
Hints for users: How to Enhance the benefits of topical application:
The longer essential oils stay in contact with the skin, the more likely they are to be absorbed. The ART Light Moisturizer, ART Renewal serum, ART Sheerlume Brightening Cream, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream or Sandalwood Moisture Cream may be layered on top of the essential oils to reduce evaporation of the oils are enhance penetration. This may also help seal and protect cuts and wounds.
Do not use ointments on burns until they are at least three days old.
