Can you think of it?

Of the essential oils circulating in the aromatherapy world, only a small part is completely unblended or truly pure.

Dr. Kurt, an internationally renowned aromatherapy expert, was invited by the "Best Oils" to participate in the China International Aroma Industry Exhibition on April 13, 2018, and conducted a day of the latest international essential oil information sharing session. He delivered a keynote speech on quality standards for essential oils, direct sales of essential oils, and degenerative diseases.

The following is a description of Dr. Kurt's content of this sharing session, and thanks to the Chinese translation of the original Jia teacher.

In this regard, perfumers and chemists may have different standards. Some academic authors may say that from the point of view of aromatherapy, the best quality essential oils should have the most complex healing properties. This raises the question: how is the degree of healing characteristics determined, in other words, "Where does the activity of essential oil come from?"

 

From this point it is clear how rare the literature on aromatherapy is. Many books explain how to use essential oils for treatment or other purposes. But almost no book discusses where the activity of essential oils comes from, and why are they effective?



Some people may say, "Don't we all learn essential oil chemistry? We don't all know which ingredients will show which essential oil characteristics?"



Of course, yes, especially in the French aromatherapy, the essential oil components are identified one by one, and their molecular structure has been analyzed in great detail.



For example, everyone knows that the acetic acid agaric ester in lavender essential oil has the effect of calming and relaxing. But this still can't tell us exactly why these ingredients will exhibit their special physiological activity. This also allows us to explain the efficacy of a certain or a few active ingredients when interpreting the effect of an essential oil. The essential oil itself is a complex natural mixture.

 

Legal aromatherapy focuses on the basic chemical composition (mostly monoterpenoids), but we can not see the rich and meticulous complexity of essential oils, and can not see how this complexity forms the multi-effects of essential oils.
The Evolution of Aromatherapy

Evolution of aromatherapy
Modern aromatherapy really originated from the scientific French aromatherapy, starting with the books of Gattefossé and Valnet, to the precise of Pénoël and Franchomme. The book Aromatherapy reached its peak when it was published. French aromatherapy has always been linked to orthodox medical treatment, and occasional use of undiluted essential oils or oral essential oils is no problem, as all prescriptions are prescribed by a professional physician. Gradually, starting with Robert Tisserand's book The Art of Aromatherapy, aromatherapy became globally known through its changes in the British system. However, British aromatherapy has been defined as a "adjuvant therapy" from the beginning, and British aromatherapy believes that the use of undiluted essential oils is very dangerous and absolutely impossible, as is oral essential oil.

 

In the early 1990s, when British aromatherapy was on the shores of the United States, a new era began. At the beginning, everyone accepted the oil restriction of British aromatherapy, but as time flies, many people in the North American aromatherapy circle have devoted themselves to experiments, and the oil method is relatively unconstrained.



At the International Scientific Aromatherapy Conference in California, scientists from around the world gathered to share the effects of the essential oils they discovered. Many people in this circle use their own methods to experiment with themselves and try to turn scientific conclusions into actual therapeutic results. And this process has been gone for nearly 30 years, and aromatherapy has evolved and evolved.

 

To this day, this California-style aromatherapy has become a major influence in East Asia as people are increasingly aware of the healing potential of essential oils. In fact, a system of aromatherapy originating from the Asia-Pacific region seems to be taking shape.

Activity, Quality andAuthenticity

Analysis of the activity, quality identification and purity of essential oils

From the perspective of systems biology, explore how it can replace chemical molecules as a scientific method to explain the efficacy of essential oils!

We will also explore how the essential oil chemistry is leading us in the field of knowledge in the legal aromatherapy, but at the same time we are subject to considerable restrictions.



Usually, aromatherapists and general essential oil users know that the efficacy characteristics of many essential oils are true, but they have not been confirmed or presented by orthodox pharmacy. For example, the power of lavender essential oil to treat small to medium-sized burns is an example.


We will cut through the perspective of systems biology and explore how it can replace chemical molecules as a scientific method to explain the efficacy of essential oils! Or, in other words, how a complex mixture of natural molecules can have different therapeutic properties than a single component.

 

We will review the latest findings, presenting many interactions between essential oils from oriental spices, rhizomes and resins and cell targets, such as intracellular translation of nuclear factor kappa B to achieve inhibition (prevention) of inflammation. And the occurrence of carcinogenic conditions.

 

We will also review some clinical evidence to discuss how to use essential oil treatments to soothe and improve the debilitating side effects of many orthodox cancer treatments and improve the quality of life of patients, and thus extend to the treatment perspective for hepatitis C.

 

Finally, we will show how some classic essential oils have therapeutic and formulaic perspectives on modern depression, anxiety, and dementia.

 

Conclusion:

This sharing course will give you a clear understanding of how the application perspectives of essential oils and medicinal aromatic plants in different systems change with the current cultural and scientific trends, but even so, people can still be as 10,000 years ago. Convert and enjoy important therapeutic elements from the aromatic substances of plants.
