I love the internet (if neither management nor computers go haywire). Recently, 'talking' to Cristina of Aromandina in the U.S. and I via Facebook and e-mail. Am 29.12. she announced to me Öleproben their company. Today, they have been by the postman - delivered - despite steep ice on our roads. He has to smell it have, as soon as you open me met a balsamic-scented eucalyptus.
Cristina is from Ecuador visited there between Colombia and Peru, the German school (so they can read it here good! ;-) And now lives in the United States, where it sells essential oils from the Andean region.
Since I was not born in the Andes, we came to the "electronic conversation".
you asked if I was the essential Oil of Palo Santo know. I've even heard of it often, it is known as a smoked meat. But the oil I did not know to this day. There are in the English-speaking world, many different trees with the people with Palo Santo, so we had to first agree on the time of the intended scientific name of their plant.
The tree Bursera graveolens is related to the incense and the Linaloebaum (Fig: wiki commons by Haplochromis) . The genus name comes from Bursera bursa, the bag / pocket, and refers to the container in the plant, located in which the aromatic substances. Graveolens, these descriptive names of species we know for example, of Pelargonium, the Duftgeranie, it means "strong odor / fragrance ( gravis = severe / difficult / severe and olere smell = mnemonics: gravitation, gravity, Odol against bad breath ;-).
It grows in rather dry forest and is slightly gnarled and fork. The two photos are from the Galapagos Islands, which belong to Ecuador and made famous by Charles Darwin were. The essential oil from the crushed wood has an unusual composition: limonene, beta-bisabolene, carvone, trans-and cis-carveol. These four previously quite unknown substances: (-)-Juneol, Dihydrojuneol, as well as a rare Eudesmen connection and an equally rare eudesmane connection (sesquiterpenoids). The smell is kind of indescribable, he reminds me of South American odors in houses, probably was a part of the interior they are made from the coveted furniture wood: a little lavender, some sandalwood, a little cumin, a little cedar (Fig: wiki commons by balabiot ) .
flavor specialist Gabriela Stark describes here the effect of the Holy Wood as smoked. Who has experience with this essential oil?
