botanical olfactory kit
It is a kit exclusively designed to train the sense of smell and/or know the universe of plants from the nose, with botanical extracts. It can be used by tasters, aromatherapists, botanists, biologists, agronomists, perfumers, cooks, curious people, people who need to train their sense of smell and retronasal, scent lovers...
It is a creation of two components: one local and complex aromas (1) extracted in tincture by me (in local grape alcohol, the colours are natural, typical of the tinctures) to bring a large number of nuances + (2) an essential oil (E.O.) or absolute in the case of gourmand and amber of high quality that accompanies it.
It covers all parts of the plants with their qualities and types of aromas to study the olfactory groups, it is a journey through the plant world.
Includes 1ml vial (8ml), olfactory strips, olfactory exercises and a video with an experiential journey through parts of plants .

OLFACTION
My work is focused on the EXPERIENTIAL DISCOVERY AND WELL-BEING OF PLANTS AND PLANT EXTRACTS THROUGH THE OLFACTORY ROUTE: it is a way of getting to know the plant in its fullness through smelling its extracts, and at the same time feeling the benefits of its aroma in a personal way.
At the level of well-being, it can help create sensations of concentration, activation, clearance, comfort and the like.
There are several studies that support the benefits of the aromas and volatile molecules of essential oils through the olfactory route, since they reach the bloodstream, in addition to their special connection with memory and emotions.
I work with traditionally used essential oils and at the same time with the scientifically studied benefits, always with a background of sustainability.

What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the medicinal and wellness use of essential oils in various forms: topical, oral, or olfactory application. I focus on the wellness area.
The name was first defined by French perfumer and chemical engineer René Marie Gatefossé in the 20th century, but essential oils have been used for these benefits for centuries.
Essential oils are metabolites of plants to communicate between them and the environment that surrounds them, exhaling that special aroma, in aromatherapy these are used once they have been extracted by distillation methods (evaporation and condensation of the plant) although sometimes they can be used absolutes for delicate flowers (cold extracted by solvents such as hexane and subsequent washing in alcohol).
I specialize in the sustainable use of them, because, giving an example, half a ml of lavender essential oil would be equivalent to between 250g to 350g of the plant, which would be two large bouquets of its flowers. So I include my extracts as hydrosols, tinctures, and macerates to reduce the use of essential oils.
I have been studying essential oils since 2016, both with scientific and French aromatherapy schools and personally. I have worked in the area of wellness care in a herbal shop for 5 years and for 1 year as a volunteer masseuse and formulator for a regional sports club.
It is a tool for personal use.and I help you learn how to use it from mesafe way.
EACH DROP OF ESSENTIAL OIL IS GOLD: IT COULD BE EQUIVALENT TO A BOUQUET OF A PLANT OR A LARGE BAG OF FLOWERS + THE LABOR WORK OF AGRICULTURE AND OBTAINING
NOTE: None of the above options is a medical therapy, but a tool for personal use, and I help you learn how to use it.
