▎Essential Oil Introduction

Pink lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is also called Indian lotus, sacred lotus, or simply lotus. Nelumbo is a perennial herbaceous water-producing plant. It is native to ancient India and later found from Vietnam to Afghanistan. It is generally distributed in subtropical and temperate regions such as Central Asia, West Asia, North America, India, China, and Japan. There are more than 800 cultivated species. Lotus can be propagated by seeds or rhizomes. In particular, its seeds can survive for thousands of years. Some scientists have cultivated some thousand-year-old lotus seeds, and the resulting lotus flowers are still full of vitality. Ancient lotus seeds dating back thousands of years have been unearthed in Pulandian District, Dalian City, China. Two ancient lotus seeds discovered at the Yangshao Cultural Site in Dahe Village, Zhengzhou, China, are more than 3,000 years old, but they are too precious and have not been tested for cultivation.

Lotus prefers an environment with high heat and humidity. For varieties distributed in temperate zones, the evergreen parts will wither on the soil in winter and the lotus stems will swell. Most of the tropical varieties have evergreen parts that do not wilt, and the lotus stems do not swell significantly. The lotus symbolizes patience and peace. It grows in the mud and will bloom large and gorgeous flowers on the water surface with flat and wide leaves. The flowers may be pink, white or blue. The flowers exude a unique fragrance. In Buddhist culture, they also symbolize Eternal life and transcendence. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, is known as the "Auspicious Goddess". She combines wealth, magnificence, fertility, and vitality. She holds a pink lotus, so the pink lotus also symbolizes bringing good luck

Lotus essence needs to be aged before it can condense its fragrance. Pink lotus essence is a dark pink viscous liquid with a fragrant and sweet aroma, giving people a sense of tranquility and elegance.

▎Essential Oil Introduction

Lavender, also known as "True lavender" or highland lavender, blooms every May, the average growth altitude is approximately 800 meters or above. It is drought-resistant, with purple flower spikes. Its name derives from the Latin "Lavare," meaning "to wash". In ancient Roman times, people bathed with lavender, believing it could cleanse the soul and body.

Originally native to the Mediterranean coast, lavender spread to Britain and northern Europe as the Romans expanded their empire. Over the past two millennia, it has been widely utilized for medicinal and culinary purposes, now being one of the main plants of traditional European medicine and aromatherapy. The familiar lavender, known as "Lavender," was referred to as "espic" in the 18th century and, in Provence, called "epi." Romans and Greeks used lavender to "purify" and "cleanse" hospital wards and shelters. During the Second World War, Dr. Jean Valnet utilized herbal oils like lavender to treat severe burns and wounds of soldiers, and achieving significant results.

Currently, over 20 varieties of lavender have been discovered, with over a hundred hybrid varieties. However, in aromatherapy, true lavender essential oil remains the most commonly used. Its rich ester structure is gentle and safe, suitable for all ages, and can address various conditions such as headaches, fever, and skin problems.

Jasmine sambac

Jasminum sambac

【Overview】

Origin | India
Botanical Family | Oleaceae
Plant Aroma | Original essential oil with a rich and delicate fragrance.
Extraction Part | Flowers
Extraction Method | Solvent extraction

Sacred Bak Jasmine essential oil is produced in India's humid and fertile, slightly acidic sandy soil. It belongs to the tropical monsoon climate with high temperatures throughout the year, and acidic soil predominates. Sacred Bak Jasmine prefers slightly acidic sandy soil, is not cold-resistant, and can tolerate full or partial sunlight. The flowering period is around June to September. During the mid-flowering stage when the flower buds are about to open into a "tiger claw" shape, it is harvested at around three or four in the afternoon when the fragrance is more intense, and the oil yield is higher. It is a common variety in India and is also known as the "Moonlight in the Forest."

There are many varieties of jasmine, so special attention is needed when choosing jasmine essential oil. Commonly found in essential oils are Moroccan Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum), Star Jasmine (Jasminum auriculatum), and Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac). The original essence is obtained through solvent extraction.

Arabian Jasmine has a clear and distant fragrance, can "resist consumption," and has a bright tone, providing a continuous source of vitality.

【Main Benefits】

The indole component in Sacred Bak Jasmine essential oil helps enhance charm, Cis-Jasmone regulates oil secretion, bringing a sense of ease and tranquility. α-Phyllocladene is the source of a special sweet and clear fragrance, which can be detected at the beginning of the blooming, but this structure is easily destroyed by light and heat, hence the reason for harvesting it in the early morning to avoid the sun damaging the flower's fragrance.

➢ Its components include α-Phyllocladene, Indole (with a content of up to 14%), D-Cembrene, Methyl Anthranilate (5%), Methyl Benzoate (4-5%), Phenethyl Alcohol (2-3%), Jasminelactone, and other components.

【Component Analysis】

1. Indole

• Indole is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound with C8H7N. It has a double-ring structure composed of a five-membered pyrrole ring and a six-membered benzene ring. Indole is widely distributed in the natural environment and can be produced by various bacteria as an intercellular signaling molecule.

• Benefits: It regulates various aspects of bacterial physiology (such as spore formation, plasmid stability, drug resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence).

Indole derivatives play important cellular functions, including neurotransmitters (e.g., serotonin).

• Uses: Indole and its derivatives are used in medical applications such as anti-tuberculosis, anti-malarial, metabolic regulation, anticonvulsant, blood pressure regulation, and anti-MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

2. Cis-Jasmone

• Also known as Jasmine Ketone, it has a high content in Arabian Jasmine flowers. Cis-Jasmone has two isomers: cis and trans. Only the cis isomer exists in nature, while the trans isomer can only be synthesized artificially. Cis-Jasmone is a gentle component that adds a luxurious feeling and enhances charm. It can also regulate oil secretion, providing a sense of relaxation.

• Benefits: Calming, reduces muscle spasms, anti-anxiety, anti-depression; regulates oil secretion.

• Uses: Perfume raw material.
