SEE PALO SANTO TREES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT Posted: December 18, 2019 by Cristina Proano-Carrion

VISIT THE NATURAL HABITAT OF PALO SANTO , WHERE THE TREES ARE PROTECTED, AND NO HARVESTING IS ALLOWED. My niece Carolina Carrion is visiting us from Ecuador. Carolina is a GEOSPATIAL SPECIALIST AT THE CHARLES DARWIN FOUNDATION IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. And she is part of the research team that maps invasive plants with drones and satellite images in the islands. Her team’s primary goal is to have maps of the distribution and abundance of invasive plant species to support conservation efforts in

Galapagos.

PALO SANTO IN ECUADOR Two species of palo santo trees are distributed in the Galápagos archipelago, the native Bursera graveolens, and the endemic Bursera malacophylla (Burseraceae). Native Bursera graveolens is the same variety you can find in mainland Ecuador and other countries like Peru. It is called native because it is not an introduced plant, but it came to the islands naturally, thousands of years ago. Bursera malacophylla, on the other hand, grows exclusively in the Galapagos Islands. Palo santo trees (Bursera Jacq. ex L.; Burseraceae) are among the most common and easily recognizable indicator species of the dry and transition zone flora in the Galápagos archipelago. Most of the year, the tree is leafless, but in the rainy season, it quickly produces thin blue-green leaves with toothed edges. The olive shapes fruit turn bright red when ripe, and burst open to reveal black seeds inside. Palo Santo trees (Bursera graveolens) lose their leaves during the dry season to help stop water loss. WHAT ARE THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, AND WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED? The Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 major islands, six smaller islands, and scores of islets and rocks lying athwart the Equator 600 miles west of the mainland of Ecuador. In 1978 the islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz promotes scientific studies and protects the indigenous vegetation and animal life of the Galapagos. The Galapagos archipelago is best known for its fantastic array of endemic species. These plants, invertebrates, and vertebrate species have evolved due to isolated island life. Endemism is high in all living organisms on these islands from lichens, flowering plants, insects, and land snails to finches, giant tortoises, and iguanas. Darwin first studied the wildlife of the islands taking note of the evolution of the land birds such as finches and mockingbirds that adapted to a specific niche in the available habitat. These islands are a natural, living laboratory with minimal human disturbance. The variation in elevation, size, and distance between the islands has contributed significantly towards the species diversity and level of endemism on each island. IS PALO SANTO USED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS? No. The status of National Park and UNESCO World Heritage allows for strict control of flora and fauna in the Galapagos. The ecosystem is very fragile, and nobody is allowed to cut the branches or to gather the dry sticks from the ground. The endemic Palo Santo trees will be in the Galapagos Islands, untouched and protected. No matter what's going on in the rest of the world, the Galapagos National Park Service

will assure this.

When visitors come to the Islands, they have to follow these rules: * Do not remove any plant or animal, dead or alive, or even bones, wood or shells from the islands * Do not bring any live material or food to the islands or from one

island to the other

* Do not bring palo santo sticks from the continent * Stay within the permitted areas and only visit the islands with a

licensed guide

* Do not leave any trash anywhere on the islands or throw it into the

ocean

* Do not deface rocks HOW CAN I SEE PALO SANTO TREES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT? I have put together a fantastic visit to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands , where you’ll experience 5-star service in a safe and meticulously coordinated trip. During this trip, you’ll visit first Ecuador’s mainland with its breathtaking landscapes and cities at different altitudes and with a variety of climates and diverse cultures. We’ll get to visit a farmers market where those who want can experience a spiritual cleansing with native herbs and palo santo. Then we will fly to the Galapagos Islands, where we will board a deluxe catamaran that we have chartered just for our group of friends. You’ll visit nine specific points of the Galapagos Islands with a naturalist guide. Lodging and meals will be provided onboard the catamaran. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN COME ON THIS TOUR? This tour has a capacity for 16 passengers. Reserve right now as it is

almost sold out.

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND PRICES? You can find the whole itinerary, prices, methods of payment, and Frequent Asked Questions on this link: Ecuador and the Galapagos

Aromatherapy Article 4 EASY TIPS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE, USING ESSENTIAL OILS Posted: August 21, 2019 by Cristina Proano-Carrion

From Monday to Friday at 10h00, I teach Zumba™ classes. I love it because it keeps me alert, in good shape, and it has allowed me to connect with beautiful people. I have been able to improve my daily fitness routine, using essential oils.

Here’s how:

1. CONCENTRATION AND ALERTNESS Zumba™ and other kinds of exercises or sports require our minds to stay AWAKE AND ALERT. It’s essential to have the body and the mind synchronized, and many times, the distractions of our daily lives prevent focus and total concentration. Before starting the class, I spray my face with ALERT MIST

made with

energizing and stimulating oils for the mind: PEPPERMINT, ROSEMARY, CARDAMOM, AND SPEARMINT. I also use it after the class when I feel hot and sweaty. I recommend you use this spray before performing any exercise routine, even before going for a walk.

2. MUSCLE PAIN

When we exercise correctly and intensely, we will often feel muscle aches. After teaching, I like to apply some PAIN BEGONE BODY OIL

on the

sore areas, especially feet, and knees. The combination of essential oils in this preparation is beneficial due to their ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANALGESIC, AND DETOXIFYING EFFECTS. 3. CONTROL YOUR APPETITE I am sure that you are very aware of what kind of diet is best for you to stay fit. My interest is not to give you any diet recommendations, but to give you a piece of advice that will help you stick to it and avoid falling off the bandwagon. It’s very simple: smell essential oils that TRICK YOUR BODY INTO THINKING that you have eaten enough and that you’re satiated. Science says that it is not our stomach that tells you when to stop eating, but your hypothalamus . The hypothalamus sends the signal to the body that you must stop eating. The hypothalamus is directly connected to the sense of smell. When you smell certain essential oils, the hypothalamus sends the signal to the stomach to stop eating. Place a drop of the FIT ESSENTIAL OIL blend onto a handkerchief and inhale three times with one nostril and three times with the other. Do it for about two minutes before eating or before you open the refrigerator or pantry to eat unhealthy snacks. You’ll notice that your prone to eat smaller portions and to stick

to your diet.

4.HELP YOUR BODY DETOX NATURALLY With a healthy diet and exercise our body will eliminate toxins, and we can give it a boost using essential oils that can PROMOTE CIRCULATION AND LYMPHATIC FLOW, AND BREAK DOWN FAT AND WATER DEPOSITS IN THE CELLS. Cedarwood, fennel, rosemary, and orange are the essential oils I used to formulate the DETOXING BODY OIL

. Apply

some of it on your abdomen, hips, arms, and thighs. You can do this

every morning.

As you can see, it’s very easy to stick to your fitness routine using essential oils.

Aromatherapy Article WHAT ARE CARRIER OILS? Posted: April 23, 2019 by Cristina Proano-Carrion

112

46

15

The term carrier oil refers to the vegetable oil in which essential oils are diluted. This carrier oil becomes the vehicle through which the essential oil travels within the body in a slow and controlled manner. It can also be called base oil. There are different types of carrier oils and these not only serve as transports of essential oils, but they also have therapeutic properties, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. In aromatherapy we use only non-refined vegetable oils; this means that no external heat or chemical solvents have been used for its

extraction.

The vegetable oils found in supermarkets have gone through processes of high temperatures and the use of chemicals, where all their therapeutic properties are lost and are not recommended in aromatherapy. Mineral oils, such as baby oil, tend to clog pores and are not easily absorbed by the skin. Therefore, they are also not recommended in aromatherapy. The benefits of the topical application of essential oils are due to the permeable power of the carrier oils that we use. Unrefined vegetable oils have an abundance of nutrients that are immediately absorbed into the skin. HOW TO DILUTE ESSENTIAL OILS IN CARRIER OILS 1% DILUTION (FOR PREPARATIONS FOR BABIES, THE ELDERLY, PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN, FACIAL SKIN CARE) 5 to 6 drops of essential oil per 1 Fl.oz. of carrier oil 2% DILUTION: THIS IS THE MOST COMMON DILUTION, CHILDREN OVER 5 YEARS OF AGE, ADULTS WITHOUT SENSITIVITY PROBLEMS 10 to 12 drops of essential oil per 1 Fl.oz. of carrier oil 3% DILUTION: FOR ACUTE CASES SUCH AS MUSCLE ACHES AND CRAMPS 15 to 18 drops of essential oil per 1 Fl.oz. of carrier oil

COMMON CARRIER OILS

AVOCADO OIL

It has a greenish color, which indicates that in addition to having vitamin A, D, lecithin, and potassium, it contains chlorophyll. For rashes, eczema, dry and mature skin, and dry scalp. It is valuable for preparations for muscle pain relief. It has anti-wrinkle properties, and it is recommended for dry skin. It is an ideal moisturizer after extreme exposure of the skin to the

sun.

Aromandina products with Avocado Oil: Argan Elixir for Hair Loss

JOJOBA

Jojoba is, in fact, a wax, not an oil. The seeds produce a liquid wax that does not turn rancid, which gives it long shelf life. It contains the anti-inflammatory agent myristic acid, which makes it a beneficial agent for rheumatism and arthritis. Its consistency is similar to human sebum, so it is recommended for acne, oily skin, oily scalp. It is also beneficial for cracked skin such as rashes and eczema. Aromandina products with Jojoba Oil: Golden Jojoba

, Argan Elixir

It is solid in cold temperatures and liquid in hot temperatures. FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL Fractionated coconut oil is separated from the whole coconut oil to produce a superior carrier oil that will not become rancid. The non-chemical separation process leaves no toxic waste to worry about. This fine carrier oil. It remains liquid even at very low

temperatures.

It has an infinite useful life, it never gets rancid. Leaves the skin with a silky and smooth sensation, without feeling greasy. Aromandina products with Fractionated Coconut Oil: Body Oils

SWEET ALMOND OIL

It is one of the most common carrier oils, its color is pale yellow and it is slightly viscous. It is known that the Romans used it for skin preparations. It is an excellent emollient for cracked hands. It nourishes dry skin and helps relieve inflammation. It can be beneficial to ease the itching produced by eczema, dermatitis, and

psoriasis.

Midwives use the oil to massage the perineum and avoid tears. Remember that if the almond oil smells of almonds, then it is not a true oil. Almond oil should have a neutral odor.

SESAME SEED

Used for more than 5000 years in China, Egypt, and ancient Rome. High in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Do not use the dark oil extracted from the toasted sesame seeds, but the cold pressed oil that is odorless and colorless.

ROSEHIPS OIL

It is produced in Chile and has recently become very popular for its regenerative properties. It is extracted from the seeds of a rose bush that grows on in Southern Andes. Clinical studies have been carried out where the rosehip has been found to have tissue regeneration properties for burns, wrinkles, and scars. This oil is excellent to reduce wrinkles, to counteract the dehydrating effects of the sun where you begin to notice the crow’s feet and fine lines around the lips. Useful to attenuate scars either surgical or by accident and to reduce the formation of keloids. It could be that all these qualities come from the high content of linoleic fatty acids. In 1978, Dr. Carlos Amin Vasques reported that he found that rosehip oil was superior to any other treatment for severely burned patients, allowing accelerated healing and rejuvenation.

FORAHA OIL

Calophyllum Inophyllum, also known as Foraha Oil, is renowned for its remarkable healing properties. It has been shown to aid healing of wounds, including severe cuts and burns, and acts as an active germicide to kill or prevent infection. Interestingly, while most vegetable oils are present in the ripened fruit, Foraha Oil forms as the nuts dry, a process that occurs over about eight weeks. The oil is extracted from the nuts by cold-pressing and filtration. Benefits: Rejuvenating to mature skin, anti-inflammatory, assists with pain relief, speeds healing with cuts and burns, relieves sunburn, very effective on dry or scaly skin Aromandina products with Foraha Oil: Therapeutic Carrier Oil

CAN AROMATHERAPY WORK IF YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF SMELL? Posted: March 14, 2019 by Cristina Proano-Carrion

112

46

15

What happens if you have no sense of smell, does aromatherapy work? What a great question! Yesterday I taught two aromatherapy classes at a local college and one of the students asked me that question which left me thinking. Aromatherapy works with two very important senses, our sense of smell and our sense of touch. I call them “the senses of the heart” because we react to what we smell and what we touch with our emotions, more than with our logic. It’s easier for us to determine if we like or dislike a specific scent than to describe in words that scent.

OUR SENSE OF SMELL

In my classes, firstly, I ask my students how do you call a person who can’t see? Everybody knows the answer, blind. Secondly, I ask them how do you call a person who can’t hear? The answer is deaf, right? Now, how do you call a person who can’t smell? – Very, very seldom somebody knows the answer. Do you know the answer? The person who can’t smell is called ANOSMIC. Anosmia is a complete loss of the ability to smell. Some people lost their sense of smell as a consequence of a nasal condition or brain injury, while others are anosmic from birth. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF SMELL? An anosmic person, a person with no sense of smell is a person who has many disadvantages compared to those of us who can smell. * They can’t taste: Did you know that 80% of our sense of taste comes from our sense of smell? Our sense of taste can only determine the following flavors: salty, sour, sweet, bitter and umami. But when you can’t smell, you can’t tell the difference between a chocolate and a vanilla ice cream. It’s just sweet, no difference. * They are exposed to certain dangers – our sense of smell is like a radar, always telling if there are dangers around us (e.g., smoke, gas, rotten food) * They may have a low sexual response: Our sense of smell is part of the limbic system of the brain, the area in the brain that is in charge of our memory, our sexual response, and our appetite control. * They tend to be more depressed: They feel that life is unenjoyable. Life is full of odors and tastes that they can’t enjoy.

THE SENSE OF TOUCH

Another sense that people forget its importance is the sense of touch, here are some reminders about how useful our sense of touch is: * Our sense of touch allows us to interact with each other and with

our environment.

* It has a significant role in emotional interaction between humans. * It’s the first sense we experience in the womb and the last one we lose before death. * Physical touch not only feels nice, but it’s also essential for

our well-being.

AROMATHERAPY, COMBINING THE SENSE OF SMELL AND THE SENSE OF TOUCH FOR

COMPLETE WELL-BEING

Let’s put an example here: Your partner is having difficulty sleeping, and before they go to sleep, you will give them a short massage on their neck, the soles of the feet and the solar plexus area with our Sleep Time Body Oil

. The

relaxing and sedative properties of the essential oils in this product, lavender, mandarin, marjoram, and palo santo, are going to be perceived by the olfactory receptors of your partner’s nose, therefore inducing a sense of rest, peace, and relaxation. At the same time, your soft strokes on their skin, are allowing the same essential oils to penetrate through the different skin layers, to the blood vessels, to the rest of the body. NOW WHAT IF YOUR PARTNER HAS NO SENSE OF SMELL? What if I tell you that even with no sense of smell, our body can perceive the benefits of these wonderful oils? Actually, essential oils are made out of-of many chemical compounds. Studies show that the detection of chemical odors isn’t limited to the nose, but other organs of the body, such as the skin, the heart, liver, and gut. In conclusion, even with no sense of smell, the loving application of diluted essential oils into the skin, through massage, will produce a positive effect on the person. In other words, not only the person will receive the well know benefits of massage, but also, through this application, the essential oils can travel through the skin to our bloodstream, and interact with our olfactory receptors in our skin. Moreover, you’ll find that many older adults have lost their sense of smell, however, they will be very receptive to receive a soothing massage on their hands, arms, feet, legs. Go ahead and give it a try, there’s nothing to lose here.

In a relationship, it is always important to rekindle the flames of love and desire, to look for new adventures together that will help the couple maintain that spark of love and attraction. One of the easiest and most effective ways is the use of aphrodisiac essential oils to potentiate your love life. Here’s a list of the aphrodisiac essential oils divided by scent

types:

SPICY SCENTS

These oils are generally warm, like that seasoning that you add to your food for flavor. By using these oils, you are adding heat and spice to your relationship. In other words, these aromas not only warm the body but the emotions, revitalizing and igniting a loving

encounter.

BLACK PEPPER

:

Light again the flame of passion with this very hot aroma. *

CARDAMOM

: Spicy,

stimulates the mind and evokes our sexual nature.

CINNAMON

:

Stimulates the senses, calms the tension, helps us forget the setbacks

of the day. *

FLORAL SCENTS

By nature, flowers are feminine, but both men and women can use them. The flowers awaken our sensual side, they allow us to connect better with our environment, help us to appreciate more intensely what we hear, touch, smell, and taste. Therefore, flowers help us feel more sensual and feminine, we can accept ourselves the way we are and release inhibitions.

YLANG-YLANG

aphrodisiac. It enhances libido and increases the attraction between

lovers.

flower of seduction, love, and forgiveness. Relieves the sadness of lost love while soothing painful feelings.

Sensual and seductive. It triggers passion between lovers.

GERANIUM

CLARY SAGE

:

Euphoric and profound. Helps to calm melancholy and stress.

LEAFY SCENTS

We’re talking about leaves with intense aromas, those that keep the mind awake, those that promote physical and mental vitality, and help us keep fantasies alive. In ancient times, men used these leaves for war as well as for love.

BASIL :

Awakens a

loving relationship that has been losing interest or intensity.

LAUREL

:

ROSEMARY

: Raises

the moral, provides vitality, inspires us to appreciate the joy of

love.

ROOTY, EARTHY SCENTS When you see their color and consistency immediately you will know what we’re talking about: essential oils that smell like dirt. These oils help us to awaken the root and sensual chakras. This scent is powerful, penetrating, bold, never shy.

PATCHOULI

:

Stimulating, voluptuous and suggestive. It penetrates deeply into the

emotions.

VETIVER :

It helps eliminate fears and doubts: strengthening, sexual stimulant.

GINGER

: It

melts and warms up those emotions that are frozen or cold. It rekindles desire and revives passion.

CITRUS SCENTS

These are not aphrodisiac essential oils, they are what we call evocative. Citrus oils help us have a positive and optimistic attitude. When we combine them with the oils mentioned above, they give a very pleasant aroma to the blend.

BERGAMOT

: It

improves the lovers’ mood with its uplifting and refreshing aroma.

ORANGE : It

puts us on the mood for joy and sensuality. It eliminates boredom.

GRAPEFRUIT

:

It intensifies feelings of confidence and positivism.

HOW TO USE THEM

One of the best ways is to diffuse your erotic essential oils with an aromatherapy diffuser, burner or nebulizer to create a romantic and sensual atmosphere. What is the environment you want to achieve? What is the purpose? What reactions do you want to produce? This intimate moment is a playful experiment for both of you. Talk to each other and choose together what is the aroma that best identifies you as a

couple.

To complement the atmosphere, it’s time to get down to business by giving each other a sensual, gentle massage, not a deep tissue massage, but a massage to awaken the senses of touch and smell. For this you need a ROMANTIC MASSAGE OIL: * Take a bottle of Therapeutic Carrier Oil * Add a total of 50 drops of essential oil * To get a balanced mixture, choose a maximum of 4 essential oils. *Black Pepper and cinnamon essential oils are irritating to the skin, it’s better to use them in the diffuser rather than in the massage

oil.

Here’s an example of a ROMANTIC DIFFUSER BLEND: 2 drops of black pepper

4 drops of bergamot

2 drops of rosemary

2 drops of clary sage Here’s an example of a ROMANTIC MASSAGE OIL:

15 drops of ginger

5 drops of jasmin

25 drops of orange

10 drops of basil

Add to 1 bottle of Therapeutic Carrier Oil Start following these guidelines and bring the art of love-making to a whole another level.
