Essential oils and their effects

by Liza Pfannenschwarz in News

Essential oils are a widely used term under the term aromatherapy. This involves the use of essential oils to improve physical and mental health. Individual oils or mixtures thereof can be used specifically for various symptoms. The oils can be added to a diffuser, used as a bath additive or incorporated into creams.

Classic scents such as rose and lavender are obtained through steam distillation, where the essential oils are dissolved and extracted from the raw materials with the help of steam. Extractions can also be carried out using carriers such as oil and alcohols. Here the raw materials are stored in the carrier material and the scent is transferred over the course of the storage period. Another method for extracting essential oils is cold pressing. This process is used, for example, on oranges and lemons, as the peels of the oranges contain many essential oils.

How do essential oils work after aromatherapy:

Cedarwood essential oil
The scent has a calming and relaxing effect on the body and gives serenity, especially in the evening.

lavender essential oil
Is the essential oil with a calming effect par excellence. It helps against anxiety, relaxes stress and relaxes the mind. Helps you fall asleep and let go and gives you peace.

Lemongrass essential oil
The fresh scent has an antidepressant effect, against anxiety and fatigue. The mood is brightened and tiredness disappears.

clove essential oil
The scent of the oil allows you to break through old thought structures and promotes self-confidence. You feel new strength and vitality.

Neroli (orange blossom) essential oil
The scent is reminiscent of summer and gives you peace and cheers up your mood. It also reduces anxiety and helps you fall asleep. It gives you a lot of energy and even helps with exam anxiety.

orange essential oil
Bitter orange blossom oil helps reduce anxiety, cheers up the mood and stabilizes the psyche.

sea ​​buckthorn essential oil
increases imagination and creative power. You feel satisfied but full of energy.

sandalwood essential oil
Relieves tension and aggression, as well as overstimulation and stress. The oil has a calming and activating effect at the same time. Many people find the scent sensual, which is why it is used in many perfumes.

vanilla essential oil
The scent gives confidence and well-being. The scent also makes you happy because it is said to promote the production of serotonin. Anger and insecurity are reduced.

Ylang Ylang essential oil
The oil helps with fatigue and helps with anxiety. It relaxes and has a balancing effect. The scent brightens the mood and even has a euphoric effect.

lemon essential oil
Increases the ability to concentrate and lifts the mood. The scent is also said to have a slightly calming effect.

Scents shape the way we see and experience the world. Our olfactory organ, the nose, only needs a few molecules to recognize a scent and is also extremely fast. Within a fifth of a second, images that match the smells are created in the head and corresponding emotions are triggered. This is also how aromatherapy works. Furthermore, some essential oils also have an antimicrobial effect and thus purify the air.

Due to the positive properties of essential oils and an intolerance to synthetic fragrances, we scent all of our products exclusively with essential oils. All of our products are tested for “sensitive skin” and are confirmed as “very good”.

Welches Körperöl ist das Richtige in der Schwangerschaft?

Which body oil is right for pregnancy?

Which body oil is right for pregnancy? Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary times in a woman's life. New life grows right under the heart, which is one of the greatest gifts one can experience. But the space in your stomach quickly becomes smaller and the skin begins to stretch. This stretching is a particular challenge for the skin and therefore special care for this time is very useful. With pregnancy oils the focus is a little different than with regular body oils. The aim here is not that the skin absorbs the oil as quickly as possible, but that the skin is long and well cared for. Therefore, oils are used here that are rich and support the skin in stretching. The frequency of application is also higher. It should be reapplied whenever the skin feels dry. This not only applies to the baby bump, but also to the legs, breasts and bottom. All parts of the body that experience stretching. The skin is particularly well supported if it is applied before a gentle massage. This improves the blood flow to the skin in these areas, which leads to more suppleness and can stimulate the skin to regenerate. Particularly good oils here are: Organic almond oil cold pressed Organic cold-pressed sunflower oil Organic poppy seed oil cold pressed Organic sea buckthorn pulp oil Organic hemp oil cold pressed Organic pumpkin seed oil cold pressed Oils for joints can also be used here. Special active ingredients such as arnica support joints and muscles that are put under more strain than normal during pregnancy. Massage oils with calming ingredients such as lavender are also suitable for balancing out one or two hormonal highs and lows. This best happens in a partner massage, as safety can be an important psychological point in pregnancy. We recommend: Organic pregnancy oil hemp & lavender Organic pregnancy oil sea buckthorn & almond oil Organic pregnancy oil arnica & vitamin E

Welches Körperöl ist das Beste für mich ?

Which body oil is best for me?

Which body oil is best for me? Every skin is different and has different requirements for care products. Basically, you can pay attention to natural ingredients when choosing your body oil. Vegetable oils, preferably organic, are the best thing you can do for your skin. This replenishes the fat deposits in the skin layer and strengthens the skin barrier. Moisture remains in the skin and the complexion can shine. If you like scented oils, make sure to use essential oils instead of perfume oils; these are more naturally produced and therefore put fewer chemicals on your skin. If you are allergic to essential oils, an unscented oil is probably your best choice. Here you can also consult the manufacturer's recommendation. Is the body oil tested for normal or sensitive skin and what are the test results? Now let’s take a closer look at your skin’s needs. Which body oil for mature skin? The older the skin gets, the more care it needs. Therefore, intensive care is exactly the right thing for mature skin. Skin-related fatty acids that the skin can easily absorb and process are ideal. Here oils that have a lot of unsaturated fatty acids are a little miracle weapon. These oils have a smoothing and firming effect on the skin. To improve the elasticity of mature skin, you can massage the oil in, for example with a Gua Sha stone. This improves blood circulation in the skin and stimulates the lymph, which can also have a firming and rejuvenating effect. You can also massage with a dry brush before using the body oil. We recommend the following oil: Organic almond oil cold pressed Organic sesame oil cold pressed Organic hemp oil cold pressed Organic pumpkin seed oil cold pressed Organic sea buckthorn pulp oil Organic poppy seed oil cold pressed Which body oil for dry skin? Dry and even very dry skin is a sign of a weakened skin barrier. The barrier suffers from a high loss of moisture and the skin's protective mechanisms do not function adequately. Therefore, the ultimate goal for this skin condition is to sufficiently hydrate the skin and rebuild the skin barrier in the long term. Once the skin barrier is back in tact and the factors that led to this condition have disappeared, the skin can carry out its work normally again. Unfortunately, some factors such as allergies, intolerances, hormonal imbalances or even wind and weather cannot be completely eliminated, so care aimed at building up the skin barrier is always a good strategy. Body oils are ideal here. If the skin is still very dry at the beginning, the oil can be massaged onto the wet skin. When rubbed, a kind of emulsion is created and the skin receives moisture from the outside. You can also mix a small amount of moisturizer into the body oil to add more moisture to the skin. Over time, the skin barrier becomes stronger and moisture loss reduces, then you can switch to a pure body oil. Or you can also apply the oil to dry skin. A slightly richer oil is recommended as a body oil for drier skin. Our recommendations are: Body Oil Organic Refreshing - Protective Body oil organic regenerating - firming Organic Body Oil Soothing - Restorative Our oils absorb quickly because they contain an extract of olives and rapeseed, which opens the skin and ensures that the oil is completely absorbed by the skin after just a few minutes.

Warum die Haut überhaupt von außen pflegen?

Why care for the skin from the outside at all?

Our skin is the protective layer of our body. It is our largest organ and has a variety of tasks, for example, a barrier function, it protects the body from drying out and external influences, keeps the body temperature constant (sweating, freezing) and many, many other tasks. In order to overcome these diverse everyday challenges, the skin barrier must be intact. Skin is not the same all over the body. The skin around the eyes is much thinner and more sensitive compared to the skin on the arms and legs. Care should therefore be tailored to the relevant skin area. The skin consists of several layers, the outer layer is the so-called “stratum corneum” on which lies the hydrolipid film, both of which protect the skin from excessive moisture loss. The stratum corneum consists of hardened horny cells that, together with fats, form a protective layer. The hydrolipid film is, as the name suggests, a thin layer of fat composed of sebaceous gland fats, keratin, proteins and components of sweat. The outermost layer of skin consists, so to speak, of fats, so care with high-quality fats is the right choice for healthy skin. Because of sunlight, especially in summer, or heating air in winter, moisture is removed from the skin. This weakens the skin's barrier and can lead to dry patches, irritation or even disease. There are several options to counteract this. You can moisturize the skin from the outside; lotions are just the thing here. Lotions that contain moisture in the form of water can replenish the water balance in the skin from the outside. You can also use body oils to strengthen the skin barrier, which means that the water in the skin cannot evaporate as quickly. The advantage of using oils is that the skin barrier is strengthened in the long term. Therefore, moisture loss is minimized in the long term and the skin is strengthened. This is only partially the case with lotions. Another advantage of body oils is that oil can bind and remove sebum. In the long term, the skin's sebum production returns to normal levels, as the skin no longer has to compensate for dryness by producing excessive sebum.
