【Common Q&A about essential oils】

1. What is essential oil/aromatherapy?
The so-called aromatherapy is actually the use of aromatic molecules "essential oils" or "hydrosols" extracted from plants, which are inhaled, massaged, or even eaten to regulate and improve one's physical and mental state. The most common effects include relaxation and decompression, improving concentration, soothing muscles, tightening skin, etc. In fact, as early as 3000 BC in ancient Egypt, there were records that the Egyptians used plants to make ointments, scented powders and fragrant oils, which were used for medical treatment, beauty and even mummification.

2. How do essential oils work?
Essential oils are actually concentrated essences composed of "aromatic molecules" with different functions, so each "aromatic molecule" has different functions, just like plants from different origins have different "aromatic molecules" when extracted from essential oils, so they will have different functions.
Take rosemary as an example. When rosemary grows at different altitudes, the degree to which it absorbs sunlight will directly affect the "aromatic molecules" extracted from it. Rosemary grown on the plains can relieve respiratory problems, while rosemary grown at high altitudes contains camphor, which can relieve muscle fatigue.

3. How to choose the essential oil that suits you?
There are many essential oil products on the market, but are they all suitable for you? First of all, we need to know what effect we want, just like we want to relieve stress? Take care of your skin? Clean your scalp? Is it to relieve respiratory problems? The second is to trust our own sense of smell. When we use essential oils , we will definitely smell their scent, so it is very important to choose one that we like.

It is best to choose a reputable brand. Mességué's products are 100% pure and natural essential oils. Pure essential oils mean that they are not mixed with other substances, and natural essential oils mean that no pesticides are added when the plants grow, which will make their efficacy more significant. Because it is pure essential oil, it often takes dozens of kilograms of plants (sometimes even several tons) to produce 1 liter of essential oil, so pure essential oil is so precious.

4. What is phototoxicity?
Orange essential oils, such as lemon essential oil, grapefruit essential oil, and sweet orange essential oil, are all photosensitizers, which means they increase the body's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. Therefore, they should not be exposed to sunlight within 24 hours after use. Otherwise, it can easily cause skin burns or pigmentation problems.

Do you prefer natural essential oils or chemical fragrances?

Although both essential oils and fragrances smell fragrant, there is a huge difference between the two !

Essential oils are made from various plants and extracted and refined in different ways🌿

It is a "natural aromatic substance" with the aroma of the plant itself, which is helpful to the body, mind and spirit after use .

Fragrances are synthesized chemically from petrochemical raw materials.​

In fact, the composition of each batch of natural essential oils will vary due to climate, harvest and various factors.​

The essential oil market is in chaos. Many bad manufacturers will confuse everyone , labeling themselves as natural essential oils , but in fact they may contain chemical fragrances . 😵

Especially lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, etc. are serious !

For example, "tea tree", bad manufacturers may harvest other Melaleuca plants to extract fake tea tree essential oil ~

There is also "lavender", which is divided into real lavender, eye-catching lavender, spike lavender, and there are many different types of lavender, such as wild, artificially cultivated, highland, and flatland. Even professionals may not be able to distinguish them, so it is even easier to fish in muddy waters !

Or when re-packaging , other artificial fragrances, solvents and fixatives are added to become "water-soluble essential oils" or "aromatherapy essential oils" 🤔

These are all tricks of bad businessmen, and it is difficult for ordinary people to judge the details .

​

Is long-lasting fragrance important ?

Many people think that the most important thing is the lasting fragrance .

Perfumes, cosmetics, skin care products, shower gels, and detergents may all contain the fragrance ingredient "phthalates" ⚠️

It can make the fragrance last longer, but it is an environmental hormone that may be absorbed through the skin. Long-term use and chronic accumulation of small doses may also cause harm !

It affects the development of children's reproductive organs and is associated with certain cancers such as breast cancer and endometrial cancer.​

In addition, phthalates are prone to cause allergies in children and metabolic syndrome in adults, such as obesity.​

​

How to distinguish natural essential oils from chemical fragrances ?

Essential information for pure and natural essential oil products: Latin name of the plant, origin of the plant, extraction part, extraction method, chemical formula of the essential oil, certification mark, national quality inspection, product international barcode, usage, precautions✅

​

Therefore, the quality of essential oils is far more important than other false reputations!​

When choosing to buy a product, you must think carefully and don't be fooled by the packaging of the unscrupulous merchants.

Be sure to recognize that it is pure natural essential oil, so that it can have the greatest effect 👍🏼

Mességué is a French brand founded in 1958 by Dr. Maurice Mességué , the "French Plant Pope", and has a history of 60 years.​

Mességué insists on producing high-quality products that are organic, burden-free and environmentally friendly, not letting chemical additives fill our lives and returning to our true selves.​

All products are made of natural plant ingredients, and all product development complies with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia. 80% of the products have won the "EU Organic Certification" and follow strict certification rules and high standards. It has become the leading brand of professional organic essential oils in France, so it is absolutely guaranteed!​

​

What are you waiting for? If you know how to pick , of course you should pick pure natural essential oils with quality assurance🤎

​

⚠Notes⚠​​

100% pure essential oil concentration may cause skin irritation. Please dilute it before use. If you feel any discomfort, stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.​

Strictly not for use on pets.​

When using the diffuser, the room should also be kept ventilated. When using the diffuser in a room or small space, pets should be avoided from being left alone in the room.​

Real lavender has a soothing effect, and people with low blood pressure are strictly prohibited from sniffing it.

The aroma and types of essential oils are varied. In addition to the most common flower-scented essential oils, there are also types that emit spice or mint aromas. In addition to relieving our stress, these aromatherapy essential oils actually have many different effects! We have listed the following eight "must-have medicines for home travel and tourism" so that everyone will have a basic understanding of them!

The eighth germ killer - Ravensara leaf aromatherapy essential oil

Ravensara leaves have strong antiviral and anti-infective properties and are excellent as a cough suppressant. However, its most valuable feature is that it can enhance overall immunity. Some hospitals in Europe and the United States use Ravensara leaves to purify the intensive care units to reduce the chance of respiratory infections caused by viruses. Therefore, during the period of influenza and virus outbreaks, you may wish to use Ravensara leaf essential oil to diffuse at home to prevent infection. Ravensara leaves are very gentle and suitable for use by the elderly and children. However, everyone should pay attention that if you want to use pure essential oils directly on your body, remember to dilute them!

Fourth Place Essential oil for women and children ——Australian eucalyptus aromatherapy essential oil

Australian eucalyptus is a slower growing species among eucalyptus varieties, and precisely because of this, it absorbs more nutrients and energy than other eucalyptus varieties. Australian eucalyptus contains a higher aldehyde structure (about 8%), which can help the body improve immunity and also has antibacterial and antiviral effects. In addition, Australian eucalyptus is also known as special oil for women and children. The ingredients it contains are less likely to irritate the mucous membrane, it does not contain monoterpenoid components, and the smell is sweeter, so it is very suitable for children to use. It is the first choice for treating ear, nose and throat infections in children.​

Sweet orange has similar effects to bitter orange, it has calming and soothing effects, especially for relieving symptoms such as loss of appetite, constipation, and indigestion. The sweet orange scent can relieve tension and stress, and improve insomnia caused by anxiety. The orange peel contains a lot of vitamin C, which can prevent colds and has a whitening effect on the skin. Sweet orange essential oil is a very mild and safe essential oil, also suitable for children. However, one thing to note is that orange essential oils, such as lemon essential oil, grapefruit essential oil, and sweet orange essential oil, are all photosensitizers, which means they will increase the body's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays, so they should not be exposed to sunlight within 24 hours after use. If not, it will easily cause skin burns or pigmentation problems.

It is quite safe even for long-term use. Its greatest therapeutic effect is to dissolve blood stasis and relieve pain. It has a rapid and significant effect on various wounds, can effectively dissolve blood clots, stimulate lymphatic flow, and promote cell regeneration. However, to produce one liter of Helichrysum essential oil, nearly one ton of stamens are needed, so Helichrysum essential oil is extremely precious.​
