Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses)
Violet Leaf Absolute is used as an adjunct
in high-quality perfumes. FYI: There's no steam distillation of violet
flowers. It appears to be a mild analgesic, liver decongestant, and
expectorant. May be helpful with acne, eczema and thread veins. Avoid on
sensitive skin.
The exquisite fragrance of some
flowers is spoiled by heat using steam distillation, therefore other means
of extraction are used. An absolute is one of those means and is obtained by
immersing the flowers in a solvent (usually hexane) which produces a waxy
substance known as a concrete. The solvent is then removed from the
concrete resulting in a thick oil known as an absolute which carries the
properties of the essential oil in the flowers.
The absolute does contain additional
aromatic components that are not present in a distilled oil.
An
absolute
is the most concentrated form of fragrance (and the most costly), and is
mostly used in the perfume industry. Due to its
concentration, Absolutes do not always smell pleasant. In almost ALL cases
they must be diluted to 10 % strength before sampling.
To make
this costly, rare oil more affordable, we have created the Violet
Absolute
essential oil
diluted in a Jojoba Base Oil
to a strength of 10%. This makes the oil usable directly without further
dilution. It also makes the oil more pleasing to the senses. |

General Safety Information: Do not take any oils
internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest
oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified
aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
