Cruising Gay Bj In 23233

aromatic waters. Their use in natural cosmetics.

water or floral or aromatic hydrolat is a natural product that is obtained by a method I have explained here
http://frarosaverde.blogspot.com/2009/03/olii-essenziali-capitolo -1.html
procedure that allows us to recognize the true natural product.

True natural aromatic water contains no preservatives, and this is easily explained by the fact that it is virtually demineralized water, therefore less likely to bacterial growth.
However, this product is gentle enough and misleading and his "true" natural recognize it from a very short maturity of your bottle, usually a few months, at most one year from date of manufacture.
Also, once opened you should keep the product in the fridge, especially during the summer. In winter you can keep in a cool dark place (cabinet) and still be used as soon as possible in all cases.

The quality is the preferred organic quality (of the plant's departure). In addition, the companies guarantee the best microfiltration water, a process which frees one from any pollutants.
If we do not have these features ... I really do not see the difference compared to a tea made at home with tap water. Of course I exaggerate a little, but if we have to pay money for water ... at least there is a reason!

If the aromatic water is very natural, no added fragrances, perfumes, do not expect sensational but rather mild perfume plant.
E 'to be considered a cure for the delicate skin in cases of water or a soothing cosmetic all natural facial cleansing, such as facial tissues.
It is used mainly as the hydrolat:

-toned face-makeup remover for very lightweight
light-alcohol-free aftershave
-ingredient in the manufacture of homemade cosmetics (creams or masks)
-water to keep in the baby bag-for fast cleaning out the house, together with a olietto plant (the hydrolat is certainly preferable to any made with synthetic ingredients)
-water to keep the bag with wipes of nonwoven fabrics for apparel at the time of intimate wipes, or to freshen up your face in case of lack of water.

In the last two cases, if you use it daily and continuously outside the home, the best solution for keeping dell'idrolato or decrease the weight on the stock market is to divide the hydrolat in small brown glass vials to keep in the fridge and be taken right now.
vials, eg 30 ml, are facilmente in farmacia a basso prezzo.
In pratica ci si confeziona delle monodosi

Vediamo alcune acque aromatiche molto comuni e le loro caratteristiche.
Anche se c'è un uso "caratteristico" le acque sono comunque abbastanza interscambiabili tra loro e il mio suggerimento è quello di affidarsi alla propria preferenza olfattiva.

Acqua di hamamelis
Per le pelli delicate e sensibili.

Acqua di fiori d’arancio
Per le pelli che tendono ad essere secche.

Acqua di Tea Tree
Tonica e purificante.

Acqua di rosa
Indicated as a tonic and as a small anti-aging moisturizer before applying the morning.

cornflower water
The typical water compresses on eyes tired. Used on sensitive skin for various uses.

lavender water
For oily skin, but also as a typical water to the skin of children.

water camomile
Also this for sensitive skin and all skin types.

Water geranium
tonic for all skin types. Used all over the body after showering in summer, tends to keep mosquitoes away (or at least we hope!)

A note on prices: they are generally quite affordable, and indeed is a product cheap enough if we compare it with various "liquid" in the classic cosmetics.

How To Make A Fier Safty Traler

Cosmoprof 2009. In Bologna it also discusses Cosmos European certification for natural cosmetics. In force since 1 September 2009


What can we expect as users of natural cosmetics / eco / organic?
What must change Italian companies currently certified Aiab-ICEA?
some certainties and some questions.

In most welcome dialogue with my dear wives bioallegre it comes to Cosmos: Cosmetics Organic Standard.
Here ---------------->
about Cosmos in the Convention of 4 April
http://biodetersivi.blogspot.com/2009/04/cosmos-certificazione -European-per-la.html
--------------->
Here the questions
http://biodetersivi.blogspot.com/2009/04/ cosmos-certification-for-European-la.html # comments

more questions that I pose in the air and leave the network : I'd like to hear the views of manufacturers on certification, they are Italian or European. As the
deem necessary? How
consider the issues in the management of the company and why?
They found differences in sales resulting from a certification or are there other factors that influence the development of sales of natural cosmetics (in Italy)?

Customers-users of cosmetics instead ask:
Did you know that there are also certificates for cosmetics (and not just for food)? There
entrusted with more safety certification or would you rather trust a brand that guarantees reliability and good products?
Or, again, the Inci you prefer to read and evaluate from time to time?

The answers to these questions, combining views and opinions of business customers, would give an idea about the future of certified natural cosmetics.

Games Like The Wild Thornberrys Wildlife Rescue

a lezione di strudel: alla zucca e altri

In the last few weeks have been very busy with cooking classes.
Al contrario dei miei corsi settimanali, questa volta abbiamo fatto dei corsi a tema.

Una delle giornate che ho preferito é stata quella dello strudel, dolce facile e di ottima riuscita per tutti, sia vegan che no.
L´ho preferito appunto perché e uno di quei dolci, insieme a quelli a base di pasta frolla o dolci indiani, che riescono ad avere un pubblico molto vasto, e non richiedono conoscenze particolari per sostituire le uova.

E´vero che per fare uno strudel perfetto bisogna essere esperti, ma uno strudel casalingo tutti lo sappiamo fare. A volte il mio motto é come quello di Mengacci: "non siamo cuoche, ma donne/uomini in cucina!!"

E spesso l´importanza nel successo non is to make things complicated strategic ed'effetto, but finding simplicity in the way of success - and the rating!

Another point in favor of the strudel is its vesabilitá: cake filled with a thousand, from salty to serve both as a starter or second. I still remember the super-successful strudel coast at my wedding. Also you can prepare the filling and / or 'dough the day before and cook it at the last minute. But here we are

the recipe. With these doses, you can get two strudel from about 30-40cm each. At the bottom you will find on variants

PASTA BASE

450g of flour, anything you like, even full, spelled, or a mixture
100 g di burro o margarina (o eventualmente olio di girasole)
1 pizzico di sale
150 -200 ml di acqua tiepida
se gradite, potete aggiungere 1C abbondante di zucchero se lo strudel é dolce

Mescolare in una terrina la farina con il sale (lo zucchero) e il burro. Quando il grasso é ben distribuito aggiungere l´acqua gradualmente fino ad ottenere un impasto elastico.
Far riposare coperto con un panno nel frattempo che preparate il ripieno

Ripieno alla ZUCCA DOLCE

1C di burro-margarina
1 Kg di zucca giá pulita e tagliata a tocchetti
150 g di zucchero (o di + secondo i gusti)
150 g di uvetta
80g di mandorle a filetti
1 bustina vanilina
of a lemon peel to taste


bread crumbs Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin and sauté a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the pumpkin is soft. If desired, add little water. Allow to cool.

Divide the dough into two balls, and roll it out in the finest effort: a rectangular shape as possible and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Add half the pumpkin and spread it evenly, leaving about 3cm from the free margin. To close, fold the short side and roll toward you from the long side ... ops ... but you know what I mean? the rectangular sheet has two sides short sides of the dough in these advances by 3 cm, and then on the one hand take the tip of the pastry and cover it with the stuffing. The point of bend is where the filling starts.
Repeat on the other side "short". Now you have your rectangle in front and started to roll from the long side farthest from you.

Place the strudel on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, brush with butter or oil, and perhaps add sliced \u200b\u200balmonds and / or sugar.

Cook in oven at 180 ° C until it is golden.

I've preferred the next day and I highly recommend, especially the pumpkin strudel to prepare the stuffing the day before.

strudel APPLE

1C of butter-margarine
1 kg of apples already cleaned and cut into chunks
150 g of sugar (+ or to taste) 150 g

raisins 80g almonds
fillets 1 packet of vanilina
1 c cinnamon (or to taste) to taste bread crumbs


strudel and APPLE WALNUT


1C of butter-margarine
1 kg of apples already cleaned and cut into chunks 150 g
sugar (or to taste +)
150 g of dried figs, cut into pieces
80g walnuts, coarsely chopped 1 c
cinnamon (or to taste)
1 pinch ground black pepper
breadcrumbs to taste

strudel of pear, DATES AND SPICES

1C of butter-margarine
1 kg of pears already cleaned and cut into chunks
150 g of sugar (+ or to taste) 150 g

dates into small pieces 80g coarsely chopped cashews (or almonds or pecans) 1 C

grated ginger 1, 5 c
ground cinnamon 1 c (very struck) cardamom powder
peel and juice of one ' orange (bio!!)
breadcrumbs to taste

The procedure is always the same.

How To Hook Up My Dslr300

Essential oils of two

Part III (and last)

breakdown of oils in the categories of caution:
"very strong and / or possible high toxicity"
"photosensitizer"
"Dermocaustici and sensitizing "
" safe when used properly, the o and better tolerated "

Abstract
I have already alluded to the concept of chemotype in a previous post (which necessarily must have read before reading this last post! !).
now briefly to allow the development to better understand also that I am going to explain ratings. The chemotype is the molecule / molecules mainly s that allow us to group or and in some way "classes". If we take the same plant (eg, thyme or lavender) chemotype identifies and distinguishes the variety of different and even allows us to say which variety is strongly antibacterial and anti-bacterial which is loosely (see thyme as a classic example) - or even distinguish between a potential range toxic to the human body from a variety that is not.

At the same time, this does not mean that oil is interchangeable with another as part of the same chemiotipo.O better it is just generally very large. O The fact that each is made up of hundreds of substances in synergy with each other is why oils are easily "stackable". A certain synergy of substances present in a particular oil may make it advisable or desirable than another of the same chemotype. So remember that
oe are complex mixtures of biochemical compounds and therefore also of the components present in trace amounts can be varied is the aroma that the effects of the oil. In addition to this

remember in our research of the oil "personal choice" that the chemical composition of essential oil undergoes various influences: area geografica , clima, tipo di coltivazione o raccolta spontanea, tempi e metodi di raccolta, diversa esposizione alla luce e al calore del sole in dipendenza dell’andamento della stagione. Questo è il motivo per cui troverete diverse analisi gascromatografiche della stessa pianta anche della stessa ditta: se cambia il lotto di produzione possono cambiare anche quantità/qualità/sinergie dei composti dell’olio. Non dobbiamo diventare dei chimici solo per acquistare un o.e. ma possiamo ora ben comprendere la differenza tra un’azienda professionale e di lunga tradizione che tiene sotto controllo tutta una serie di parametri di qualità rispetto ad un’azienda “estemporanea”. Ricerchiamo dunque sempre la qualità for this type of purchase.

My premise is also intended as explanatory for the following classification that I created for my convenience and comfort of other users cosmetic home: it is a very general classification that inevitably includes only the most common and popular oe. Furthermore, in some cases I could work out for some of the oils of the same family, but I preferred to take the conservative approach of creating categories rather than generalized, I leave you to research the particular "if you wish to use a family of oils identified by me as problematic .
I hope that my effort be useful to most people: I found a serious shortage of "Organic work" in Italian mainly for household and cosmetic sure that account is clearly distinct from use aromatherapy reserved for professionals.
Unfortunately many "spignattatrici do-it-yourself trespass in types and doses of oils to be reserved strictly aromatherapy, without even knowing it, and I think this is the ignorance harmful for themselves, their families, children, friends.



Category "very strong and / or possible high toxicity"
You Call For Price OE with particular potential for toxicity and hormonal disorder / endocrine.
may be, for example: altamente tossici o allergizzanti o neurotossici o abortivi o aggravare alcune patologie (un solo esempio sono le forme cancerogene estrogeno-dipendenti).
Si deve escluderne totalmente l’uso per i bambini e per le donne in gravidanza, come pure per i soggetti sensibili e le persone anziane.
Se si usano questi questi olii consiglio vivamente di informarsi preventivamente e approfonditamente sul singolo olio, tutte le indicazioni e controindicazioni.
Il parere del medico è la miglior scelta in questo caso.
Volutamente ho lasciato a fine di questa lista-e separati dagli altri- alcuni o.e. che sono molto usati (anche in abbondanza) nelle preparazioni casalinghe e ritenuti praticamente innocui: li inserisco a pieno titolo in questa mia list because of problems in reality are significant, they should be evaluated on a case by case basis before using them.

-yarrow Achillea millefolium (also present in the list "dermocaustici)
Dill-Anethum graveolens
Anise-Pimpinella anisum
Angelica - Angelica archangelica (also present in the list" photosensitizing)
Artemisia / Artemisia dracunculus Tarragon-(also the list "dermocaustici" - the name is most famous Italian tarragon )
Basil-Ocimum basilicum (also present in the list "dermocaustici)
-Himalayan Cedar Cedrus deodorizes
Atlantic Cedar Cedrus atlantica
-Cumin - Cumimum cyminum (present also in the category "dermocaustici"), in large doses is amazing
Eucalyptus-Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus dives Schau. Piperitoniferum,
polybractea cryptonifera Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus radiata, Eucalyptus smithii - and other varieties with different powers and must be evaluated case by case
Fennel-Foeniculum vulgare-
Corsican pine Pinus nigra laricio
Parsley-Petroselinum sativum
-Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, different varieties to be evaluated but basically similar power
Sage-Salvia officinalis (oil is one of the strongest and most dangerous to be found, and yet we imagine ever if we consider the harmlessness sage leaves. The oe is quite another thing and you can easily send the hospital)
Marigold-Tagetes minuta, Tagetes glandulifera
Thyme - Thymus vulgaris ct thymol (present also in the category "dermocaustici)

Clary Sage-Salvia sclarea Linnaeus (large influence on the hormonal system)
Sandalwood-Santalum album (not recommended for continuous use)
Mint-Mentha arvensis, Mentha piperita, Mentha spicata (present also in the category "dermocaustici)

Note on the mind, because I'm not sure there 's expect to find between the oil problem.
Among the many varieties of mint da cui si estrae l’olio essenziale, sono rare le eccezioni in cui l’o.e. non risulti particolarmente potente e per questo pericoloso per un uso quotidiano e per tutti i soggetti indifferenziatamente. Le tre varietà che ho elencato sono solo tre esempi che troverete facilmente in vendita e che – a dispetto delle nostre convinzioni- risultano presso gli esperti di o.e. da utilizzarsi solo su indicazione del medico aromaterapeuta e comunque con precauzioni molto superiori alla norma, sia per problemi di tossicità che di dermocausticità.
D’altra parte, pensate all’aroma della semplice tisana di menta o di un prodotto contenente mentolo: prendete questi esempi e moltiplicate per mille volte l’effetto, ed ecco un’idea essential oil of mint. For me, the mint does not fall in the use of cosmetics and cleaning / fragrance do-it-yourself home: too likely event that comes into contact with people who do not tolerate it.
A nice bunch of fresh mint in a pot, yes. The essential oil from spreading here and there continuously better not.

Make sure all of this list, however: they are very special and oils to be used on an informed basis.



Category "photosensitizer"
This is oe that applied to the skin (even if well diluted) before exposure to sun or UV lamps may very easily give photoreaction of various kinds: allergies, dermatitis, skin blemishes, etc..
E 'should generally exclude cosmetic use in the summer, such as oils and creams, but also in perfumes, as though not very easily go to the beach we are exposed to the sun during the day.
are largely but not exclusively with citrus oils.


Angelica - Angelica archangelica (also present in the list "very strong")
Bergamot - Citrus bergamis L.
Celery - Apium graveolens
Lemon - Citrus limonum
Mandarin - Citrus reticulata Blanco
Lovage - Levisticum officinale
Orange-all varieties of citrus orange and the like, and a.dolce a.amaro, photosensitizing albeit very different: Citrus sinensis, Citrus aurantium and others (in this tutorial I put together a conservative even though they are very different, for example by use of skins or leaves)
Grapefruit - Citrus paradisi
Parsley - Petroselinum sativum
Verbena - Lippia citriodora (also present in the list "dermocaustici)
Marigold - Tagetes minuta, Tagetes glandulifera (present also in the category" very strong ")



Category" Dermocaustici and sensitizing " It is very
oe irritatati on the skin. As I said ALL oe used on the skin are pure caustic (come eccezione, l’uso puro è da farsi solo su prescrizione medica). Quelli elencati qui di seguito sono più AGGRESSIVI degli altri, quindi attenzione ancora superiore e diluizione superiore alla norma.
A fine lista ho fatto una distinzione (necessaria per chiarezza) di un gruppo di o.e. che sono molto usati sia nella cosmetica/detersione classica che in quella eco-bio, e dunque qualcuno si potrà stupire: in realtà entrano solo“a margine” in questa mia lista cioè sono meno aggressivi degli altri ma a ragion veduta creo una piccola "categoria intermedia".
Il fatto poi che siano molto usati nei prodotti in commercio significa solamente che sono perfettamente dosati da professionisti (e testati dermatologicamente) and therefore do not represent any problem in infinitesimal amounts in products for sale.
another matter, however, as noted earlier, is to consider the pure oil, and then have an indication for the wise use at home / do-it-yourself cosmetic.

Artemisia / Tarragon - Artemisia dracunculus (also present in the list "very strong" - the name is most famous Italian tarragon )
-Laurel Laurus nobilis
Saint Thomas Bay - Pimenta racemosa
Basil-Ocimum basilicum (also present in the list "very strong")
Cinnamon - Cinnamomum verum (only children above 6 years)
Cumin - Cumimum cyminum (also present in list "very strong")
-Syzygium aromaticum Clove, Eugenia caryophyllus (only children above 6 years)
Mint-Mentha arvensis, Mentha piperita, Mentha spicata (also present in the list "very strong")
-Oregano Origanum vulgaris , Origanum compactum (totally not recommended for children of any age)
thyme, Thymus serpyllum Thymus vulgaris-Thyme
ct thymol (present also in the list "very strong"), Thymus vulgaris ct linalool, Thymus vulgaris ct thujanolo, Thymus satureoides - are all varieties to be used over 6 years of age and have all problems dermocausticità. The stronger the chemotype "thymol" but others do not make jokes.
Verbena - Lippia citriodora (also present in the list "photosensitizing)
Marjoram-Origanum majorana
Niaouli-cineolifera Melaleuca quinquenervia (children over 6 years)
Scotch Pine-Pinus sylvestris (children over 6 years)

Alongside the following oils: Lemongrass-Cymbopogon citratus

winterianus Lemongrass-Cymbopogon, Cymbopogon Nardus
Lemon - Citrus limonum (also present in the list "photosensitizing)
Sweet Orange - Citrus sinensis (also present in the list" photosensitizing) Ylang-Ylang Cananga
odorata

I repeat myself. These five oe in the tail lista presentano una certa aggressività cutanea, certamente molto minore del timo o della cannella o della menta ma comunque da tenere presente. Sono perfettamente dosati e sicuri nei prodotti in commercio, ma noi li avremo puri e quindi dobbiamo ricordare la loro potenza.
Da annotare che tutti gli agrumi contenenti un’alta percentuale di Limonene, rilevabile dalle loro schede fornite dall’azienda, sono da considerarsi possibili allergizzanti/sensibilizzanti sulla pelle. Per il resto gli agrumi sono piuttosto sicuri.



“Olii relativamente sicuri se usati adeguatamente: in dosi infinitesimali sono sicuri”

Ecco di seguito gli o.e. meglio tollerati nella most cases.

keep in mind the precautions the previous post (leggete!!) And the general rule: do not use
-pregnant-lactating-
not use in children under 3 years
these oe, once checked their characteristics and their personal compatibility, you can use to aim "profumatorio" in home adaptations.
The list also includes some citrus adequately measured and included sun exposure are very nice.

For further information, I recommend a site, work in progress, an expert in Italian.
This is just a work in progress and not yet complete, but already offers cards Explanatory quite detailed for some oe - We hope that the work must continue because a landmark in Italian it would be pretty important
http://www.infoerbe.org/site/indice.php?dtk=ESSENZE
Use referred to in this site is aromatherapy.
Just an idea, here are the details of Melissa
http://www.infoerbe.org/site/scheda.php?ide=154&pg=ESSENZE


As for us, packaging of cosmetics and detergents do-it-yourself, we can make use of the following infinitesimal dose or and in preparations for perfuming housewives.

Note on what it means infinitesimal dose, examples of dosages for perfuming some preparations:
per 100 ml of face cream: 5 drops total, as the maximum amount.
per 100 ml Body balm: 10 drops in total, as the maximum amount.
for 30 ml of butter lips: 1 drop of o - up to 2 gtt.
for spray cleaning: 5 to 8 drops (after solubilization) in half a liter of liquid.
for floors: 10 to 20 drops (after solubilization) in a bucket with more than 3 liters of water.

Note on different assays.
With regard to the preparation of "small home remedies" which increase the doses of OE and go beyond the "level of smell" (as an after-mosquito ointment or a relaxing massage oil) or "small room fragrances, I recommend them only on the basis of accurate knowledge. Alternatively you can give the recipe precisely metered by an expert or at least from a professional aroma-therapist. The same applies to preparations
-spray disinfectants: they contain, for obvious reasons always the strongest oe (see class) and should never be prepared and used without knowledge of the facts.


these oils at last we see of my own selection.


End or True Lavender - Lavandula Angustifolia, Lavandula Vera
Lavender-Lavandula latifolia Spigo
graveloens Geranium-Pelargonium, Pelargonium graveolens cv Egypte, Pelargonium Asperum
Bitter orange - Citrus aurantium
Mandarin - Citrus reticulata Blanco
Clementine - Clementine Citrus
seeds carrot - Daucus carota
German Chamomile / Matricaria - Matricaria recutita (reported hormone-like action to be assessed as appropriate)
Roman Chamomile - Anthemis nobilis
Manuka - Leptospermum scoparium
Tea Tree - Melaleuca alternifolia (known as a disinfectant, antibacterial)
Melissa - Melissa officinalis
Palmarosa - Cymbopogon martini var . Motia (indicated some action neuro-hormonal and evaluated case by case basis - mainly exclusion of women pregnant. Attention is also present in the geraniol Palmarosa a much greater extent than in Geranium)
Rose - Rose Damask
Rosalina - Melaleuca ericifolia
Patagonia Pine - Pinus ponderosa
Ylang-Ylang Cananga odorata (some teeth skin as already noted)
-Pogostemon Patchouli cablin
(the patchouli note: pay attention to the effects appear to be tonic when used in small doses, but becomes strongly sedative when used in high doses)
Lemon - Citrus limonum (and other citrus fruits mentioned, see what has been observed on the possible allergenicity )
Green-Myrtle Myrtus communis L. cineoliferum (children over 6 years and put attention for some action reported hormone-like, to be explored in each case) Red-
Myrtle Myrtus communis (in general, follow the directions to myrtle green even if the two varieties are quite different)

Note that I found on Lavender : there are some varieties of lavender for their biochemical components are not recommended in particular for those with epilepsy and those who are hypersensitive. Aroma-Zone on the French site I found for example that indicate the particular pay attention to these two varieties:

-Sink / Basin Grosso - Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula latifolia (these varieties are found with the same name in Latin Lavender also other )
Super-Sink-Lavandula Burnat super


And after you've followed my discussion so far, I think I liked you gift giving a "rose" of oils that are widely appreciated in the fragrance: the ones that the vast majority of people do not collide with the 'smell, unlike oils loved / hated as the Tea Tree, loved or tolerated by some and unbearable for others. In addition, this group also lends itself to good matches between the oils mentioned.


Lavender (True or Spigo - best varieties are French)
Geranium (Bourbon Madagascar or the variety of 'Egypt)
Clementina (Mediterranean countries, preferably Italy)
Mandarin (Italy)
Rosa (pink and precious legendary Orient, Damascus rose just now coming from Bulgaria, Turkey)
Rosalina (it is a hybrid variety of the Australian tea tree, and is more pleasing to the principal varieties).
Manuka (tea tree is called New Zealand, some bacteria is also stronger than the Australian tea tree, while the scent is sweet)

End of the chapter on the uses of cosmetics or and in do- -te cleaning and home :-)
My discussion is not exhaustive, the view of oe is really almost endless. The few plants I have mentioned can hardly exhaust the subject. I hope that the mental and practical approach is clear: it is a little basic guide to start for people who wish to be informed and careful user.

idea on the fly. To perfume cosmetics and detergents do-it-yourself there are also sold natural aromatic extracts of fruits: strawberry, apricot, peach, blueberry, coconut and others. They are inexpensive and do not have the problems of essential oils. Tell us a little thought :-)

How Much Tequila Per Bucket Margarita

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 of Essential Oils Essential Oils

Part Two

The necessary precautions for all oils, without exception.


As noted in other posts, in my modest self study I refer to the French tradition and the claims of aromatherapy. France is indeed a country where treatment with essential oils are closer to medicine "traditional / official" in the "alternative / complementary". Following this approach the o and are seen more in terms of medically and "profumatorio. The approach profumatorio, it remains the only point of view, I consider it an incomplete and misleading approach. In this way many users of the "natural" use of perfume or and just thinking about how your body balm or cream or cleaner floors.

And it's all right as long as there remains at infinitesimal doses : that a few drops in olive oil or alcohol or other soluble. happens too often, however, that you exaggerate the amount of oil is particularly strong (because they are not all equal!) as just do not understand the power of these oils: generally it is understood that after he made a mistake the first time, for example, after having burnt skin after he has left to wander the goccine oil or pure water in the bucket in the bathtub (no solution, and then end up on the skin). Or after provoking an asthma attack, cough or panic to his son who has breathed a solution too concentrated in essential oils. This preamble

I need to explain the reasons for my next grading of o (third and last part) - classification according to studies compiled by me / documents and views of French literature, aromatherapy, and not on common beliefs or Italian traditions of use in terms of cosmetics and home fragrance home (without taking anything away from those who know how to do this work professionally and makes appropriate use of these substances). The caution is a must for me because it is not finished products scented with oe (eg shampoo), which are measured, studied and tested before placing them on the market. This is pure essential oils in the hands of private customers / consumers who are dedicated to self-production of cosmetics and detergents, in which case it is better to know the characteristics of an oil and not only his "perfume".


General Care and caution in the use of ALL essential oils.

I find very well done document of the French site Aroma-Zone http://www.aroma-zone.com/aroma/idees.asp?sta=461 # Precautions , then followed that document as a general track However, I translate my remarks by amending and supplementing with more in-depth learned during my research on the oils.

Instructions

the oe-Use sparingly and carefully. They are very powerful and should always be diluted for use in fat (like vegetable oils and butters) or dissolved in alcohol or other suitable pure. DO NOT water soluble. The
- o and should not be applied around the eyes and mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact apply the abundant vegetable oil (eg olive oil, rice, etc.) and consult a doctor immediately.
-o Keep out of reach and sight of children. For their safety Never remove the cap from the vial-dropper. In this way the probability of leakage of large amounts of oe is limited.
-Some oils are more aggressive than others on the skin and especially on sensitive skin (see list in Part III of this chapter). Must therefore be diluted more than any other vegetable oil or detergent or cosmetics. In any case, all oe home use and / or cosmetics are diluted before use and tested in the arm 24 hours before their use more widespread.
If there is any noticeable reaction after the test abnormal, do not use quell'oe on your skin.
(Only a few precise statement of the oils on your doctor can use pure therapeutic purposes and for limited period always indicated by a doctor)
-Some oils are photosensitizing (the list at the third). After you apply it (using vegetable oil or cosmetic cream that contains them, even in low quantities) DO NOT expose to sunlight or UV lamps. Or avoid them when you are exposed to the sun: it is well made preparations to avoid them altogether in summer even if you do not go to sea. O in-ALL
generally are not recommended for pregnant women and lactating mothers, people with epilepsy, people hypersensitive and those who have health problems. Unless medical advice is not to use the oe on infants, children under 3 years. Over three years you should still seek the advice of your doctor. Consider also that a number of OE are not recommended until at least 6 years old and in a number of OE have influence on the hormone system of both adults and children. So be careful for those who must monitor the progress of hormone levels and related diseases.
-In the presence of previous or current respiratory allergies not to use or and dissemination in the environment and are inhaled.
not bind- o the use of medical treatments.
-In case of accidental ingestion immediately take several tablespoons of vegetable oil (olive, rice or other cooking oil) to dilute the oe in the stomach as much as possible, and contact the nearest poison control center and call a doctor / ambulance.
-In case of doubt or abnormal reactions due to use oe, do not hesitate to contact your doctor.

************************

All these precautions make it clear that the indiscriminate use in quantity and without knowledge (at least) on the basis of essential oils is not a proper use and proper.
When we make a cosmetic use in perfuming do-it-yourself must therefore adhere to very limited use in assay and prudent, especially if our preparations will be used by other people (eg in the case of gifts to friends, detergents homemade deodorant for the whole family, etc.).

This position can be seen by some scholars / Honorary fellow of the natural and some hobbyist do-it-yourself as "exaggerated" maybe. Actually, who today is at the forefront and seriously informed about the nature of the sector (both professional and hobby) is undoubtedly agree with me that "natural does not harmless.
not want to give up a lot of problems and the toxicity of chemical synthesis for lead (through ignorance) in the heart of the problems and the toxicity of the chemical nature, right?

Further confirmation of this position also comes from conservative European legislation since 2005 requires the disclosure on labels of all cosmetics and detergents for sale certain substances identified as particularly allergenic. These substances are 26 (for now) and as you can see there are many natural substances that can easily read the data sheets and gas chromatography of several essential oils.
means that these substances are bad "a priori"? No. It means, however, that we must be careful in the dosage if the allergenic substance is present, you need to know whether we are using and whether our health allows us to use it. This is why I suggested to buy only oe with detailed technical specifications and preferably with gas chromatography.

EU list of allergens which must be printed on the label to consumers of cosmetics and detergents:

Cinnamal
-AMYL-ALCOHOL BENZYL ALCOHOL

-Cinnamyl-Citral-
EUGENOL
-Hydroxycitronellal
-Isoeugenol
-AMYLCINNAMYL
-BENZYL ALCOHOL SALICYLATE-
Cinnamal
-Coumarin Geraniol-

Hydroxyisohexyl-3-Cyclohexene carboxaldehyde

ALCOHOL-ANIS -BENZYL CINNAMATE
-FARNESOL
-BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL
-LINALOOL
-BENZYL BENZOATE
-CITRONELLOL
-HEXYL CINNAMAL
-LIMONENE
-METHYL 2-OCTYNOATE
-ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE
-EVERNIA PRUNASTRI EXTRACT
-EVERNIA FURFURACEA EXTRACT

E considerate che questa lista riguarda solamente le fragranze allergizzanti. Ci sono poi altri fattori da tenere presente. Infatti non si tratta solo di allergie nel caso degli o.e. , bensì bisogna considerare ogni olio per tutta una serie di interazioni con la fisiologia umana e la possibile interazione con i farmaci che si assumono.
Un altro parametro che vi sarà utile quando leggerete le schede tecniche e le informazioni sul vostro o.e. è il DL50 ("dose letale 50"), dato riguardante la tossicità che indica la quantità di sostanza sufficiente ad uccidere il 50 % degli animali sui quali sia stata provata.
Con questo credo di avere spiegato a sufficienza che gli o.e. non sono profumini per le cremine da usarsi con leggerezza.
Possiamo certo sfruttarne la fragranza di alcuni, ma sempre cum grano salis .


Al prossimo post la terza e ultima parte del capitolo :-)

How Do I Adjust My Cliff

2 Chapter 2 of 2

Riconoscere quelli veri e scegliere i migliori.
Dove acquistarli. Where not to buy them.
The necessary precautions for all oils, without exception.
breakdown of oils in categories precautionary : the photosensitizing the potentially toxic, especially those dermocaustici and "diluted and safe when used in appropriate doses.


After the first chapter on oe http://frarosaverde.blogspot.com/2009/03/olii-essenziali-capitolo-1.html enter immediately in vivo and in practice.
In this second chapter I must necessarily start with the "NO". To get
slowly to "YES".
fact already excluding the places and situations where they'll never find them, we are already well advanced. And the landscape becomes very clear.

essential oils:

-are never found in vials of white glass. These are very common in shops that sell BOTTLE "fragrance." The simple color of glass - which otherwise has to be dark-inactivation properties of the oil will make a first direct visual distinction.

-are never found on the stalls and markets. If the glass was dark oe can not withstand for long the light and temperature changes. So the market or the market is not their place. Of course if you are at a fair there could be serious producers of BOTTLE-sample on a stand stationary for a few days. But the market can not be found. If there were, do not buy them because they are already altered, damaged.

-until now not found in supermarkets. Their durability (limited) and special needs of conservation (of oil authentic) it might make it easier to sell through mass merchandisers.

-I am not aware that today marks the serious and reliable quality make sales door to door by vendors / sellers. I find it rather than supermarket-level products are sold at prices significantly higher during meetings of world-famous home.

-non si trovano nei negozi etnici. Questi negozi abbondano di varie essenze odorose ma purtroppo non sono veri olii essenziali. Oltre a questo bisogna porre molta attenzione alla chimica extra-europea. Dispiace dirlo (perché le cose etniche piacciono anche a me) ma la sicurezza dei prodotti europei è notevolmente più alta rispetto a certi prodotti senza garanzie che si possono trovare in giro per mercatini.

-non si trovano nelle profumerie. Qui abbondano varie essenze sintetiche, buonissime ma sintetiche.

- non sempre si trovano nelle erboristerie , ma comunque questo è un luogo dove chiedere i veri olii essenziali.

- non sempre si trovano nei negozi di alimentazione bio , ma comunque questo è un altro luogo dove chiedere i veri olii essenziali.

- non sempre si trovano buoni olii on-line , ma comunque questo è un altro luogo dove cercare i veri olii essenziali. Anche perché erboristerie e negozi bio del territorio nonché aziende serie si trovano oggi spesso anche on-line. Oppure si trovano erboristerie e negozi bio anche solo on-line.

- si possono trovare in farmacia e in parafarmacia ? Non ho mai chiesto ma presumo di sì. In Francia sicuramente si trovano anche in farmacia in quanto l’aromaterapia è prescritta anche physicians 'official'. I think that in Italy even though this use is limited to "alternative therapies", it is still possible to order them or find them in pharmacies.

-eye on prices: the real essential oils, they never have a single price. That is, there is no specific brand or and selling his oil-price uniform (unless it sells a very limited range of o and very "common" and "similar" event - not likely). In fact the real
oe are distinguished by the fact that prices vary greatly from oil to oil, depending on the "quantity of plant material" is needed to produce one milliliter: a handful of plant material for some, a lot of weight for others. I prezzi dipendono anche dalla difficoltà o meno di reperimento del vegetale e dai processi di estrazione. Per dare un’idea indicativa, i prezzi variano all’incirca da 1 euro (o anche meno) per millilitro fino all’incirca a 20 euro per millilitro (e anche di più). Questa notevole variazione significa anche che troverete in genere confezioni da 10 ml per gli olii meno costosi, confezioni da 5 ml per i mediamente costosi, confezioni da 1 ml o 2 ml per quelli preziosi (esempio la rosa damascena).

-cercare e scegliere o.e. con certificazione Bio ci dà qualche punto di sicurezza in più sull’autenticità e sulla bontà dell’olio. Personalmente prediligo questi, tuttavia c’è da osservare that in some countries is not possible or too costly to certify an oil, such as collection exclusively from wild-spontaneous. Or there may be a tradition of local farmers who may go beyond certification: the lavender of Provence (not certified) probably will always be better than a certified organic lavender to another country. Citrus fruits Italians who beats them? Alpine herbs harvesting spontaneous .... The Bulgarian rose .... The Indian sandalwood ... .. Of course to me the Bio always makes a nice though, I'll keep this short.

-choice preference of the companies that are able to provide, in packaging or on demand, as many Oil Information: from chemotype, origin, method of extraction, the plant part used, date of production, to complete technical and gas chromatography.
chemotypes : biochemical molecule prevalent (in some cases are a group of molecules).
GC: This is a detailed analysis of various substances and odorous molecules found in oil, given that you are buying the lot (just to give you an idea: there are hundreds of substances in a single oil and it is important to know at least the components of majority). These are all very useful information on the quantity / quality di principi attivi presenti nell’olio, rilevanti sia per gli effetti voluti che per quelli indesiderati.
Il mio blog in questo senso ha anche lo scopo di indicare gli o.e. utilizzabili in cosmetica/detersione/casa con più tranquillità rispetto ad altri.

-Ci sono anche altre analisi tecniche e parametri per valutare un o.e. ma qui entriamo in un ambito professionale non compreso nella mia trattazione e che ci interessa ben poco per i nostri usi casalinghi.

- Detto questo, per chi inizia da zero è necessario “fare nomi” per avere un punto sicuro, ditte serie da cui iniziare. Ognuno ricercherà poi le sue marche preferite tenuti sempre presenti i criteri di scelta che vi ho elencato.
Nei negozi/erboristerie ci sono alcune marche più diffuse di altre, quindi è più facile chiedere (e trovare): Flora/Primavera di Pisa, Zuccari di Trento, Dr Joseph di Merano.
Vendita On line : Aroma-Zone in Francia, Aromantic in Regno Unito
(questi siti offrono una buona cura nelle spedizioni, tuttavia ordinate e quindi fate viaggiare gli olii di preferenza in periodi freschi dell’anno)

-Detto questo, desidero fare una personalissima osservazione e riflessione sulla ricerca degli olii essenziali migliori. L’estrazione e l’arte degli olii essenziali è un lavoro di passione e di sapienza. Per questo se qualcuno approfondirà ulteriormente questa “branca del naturale” troverà che alcune case (Ie, production companies), sometimes other times not accessible to individuals in various European countries and the world who specialize in the mining and sale of a single essential oil (maybe different varieties of the same plant) or only deal with some specific plants / flowers for centuries according to tradition and ancient secrets. These are obviously the best essential oils and are the "niche" in the industry.
At the same time, emerging from traditional channels of commerce, I am sure that in small and pristine backwater in Italy as in any other country is there any fan that extracts oil from its collection spontaneous (or grown) plants and flowers. And do not forget
Monaco or some old nun who'll be planting, harvesting and extracting precious oils that maybe we will find very good looking in the most remote and quiet. He did not ask in that case the data sheet: the love of wisdom and advice stemming from centuries will be more than enough. According to me.


End Part.
Following a short post with the rest of the chapter ...... I thought of doing a single, short post, but actually there are details that it is better to specify.

summarize this first part: the essential oils are found in small BOTTLE dark brown glass dropper, usually from 5 to 10 ml, prezzi differenziati a seconda dell'olio considerato, confezionati con scatolina di cartone per proteggerle dalla luce o comunque stoccati al buio e al fresco, nelle erboristerie, nei negozi bio e nei siti on-line. Cercate gli olii puri e naturali al 100%, preferibilmente bio, sigillati al momento in cui li acquistate. Le marche più diffuse e più facilmente reperibili le ho scritte.
Alla prossima :-)

Do You Get Discharge From Rephresh

[ricette x capelli]: 2 rimedi anti-forfora

Nel frattempo che mi decido a trovare il cavo usb giusto per scaricare quelle poche foto salvate dal giretto per Calcutta (sì sì, prossima puntata Calcutta, con tour nel bazar più grande d'Asia!!!), ho pensato di condividere con voi alcune ricette per capelli trovate su una rivista.
Scrivo qui per non dimenticarmene e perchè io in linea di massima preferisco usare sulla pelle quello che si può anche mangiare. Non è la pelle uno dei nostri organi? allora perchè maltrattarla con veleni vari?

Qui in Germania ogni supermercato ha la sua rivista mensile gratuita, con ovviamente much publicity, but also many interesting articles and recipes, like the newspaper Esselunga. Often I prefer these free magazines, especially those in health food stores and Reformhaus, that such sale at newsstands.

The first remedy for dandruff is a longdrink nettle and sage :
Bring to boil half a liter of ' water, turn off the heat and pour 1 teaspoon nettle and 1 teaspoon dried sage . Allow to cool until warm enough when you can pay on the skin. Massage well throughout the skin, and not rinse with water.

Lotion lemon and linden flowers :
the grated rind and squeeze the juice of 8 lemons and bring to a boil with a pint of water 2 teaspoons lime flowers . Boil for several minutes over low heat and let cool. Strain and let stand for 2-3 days. Use diluted with water after shampooing or massaging the skin with the lotion daily undiluted.
