Interesting Silver Fir Essential Oil Information
An oleo-resin is obtained from blister-like swellings in the bark. The resin extracted from it, called "Strasburg turpentine", is used in perfumery, medicine and for caulking ships. Oil of turpentine is an important solvent in the paint industry. The residue, known as 'rosin oil', is used in making varnishes, lacquers and carbon black. The resin is tapped from 60 to 80 year old trees.
Many conifer oils, due to harvesting methods, are subject to contamination such as oil and gas from chain saws, wood chips and branches, which add unwanted resins, petroleum byproducts and turpentine to the final product. The oils that we offer come from either wild-harvested or organically cultivated trees, using only the tips and needles, which are hand cut with non-lubricated shears and then distilled in a certified organic still. This guarantees that the distillation produces only the cleanest, most refined oils possible.

Interesting Bergamot Essential Oil Information
Bergamot essential oils are now commonly employed in the place of more expensive, dried bergamot peels. The oil is used in the food and confectionery industry as flavoring for liqueurs, aromatic teas, candies and candied fruits. The juice and skin of the fruit are also used in the agro-alimentary industry for the production of soft drinks, jellies and jams. Bergamot also gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor.
Bergamot was the base for the original French "eau de cologne"; it is still used in many modern-day perfumes to fix the aromatic bouquet and to add a top note of freshness to the fragrance. In the 18th century, bergamot bark was shaped and dried into elaborately decorated boxes, which were highly prized among the French aristocracy.
Bergamot essential oil, a citrus, is not to be confused with the herb bee balm (Monarda didyma).

Interesting Cardamom Essential Oil Information
There are several small farmers living in the hilly regions of Kerala, India, who are engaged in growing cardamom in their backyards. As there is a lack of an organized market or collection center for the oils, the oil cannot be certified as organic, in spite of it being grown organically. Cardamom starts bearing capsules three years after planting. Ancient Egyptians used cardamom in perfumes and incense and also chewed it to whiten their teeth. The serving of cardamom coffee is a traditional gesture of welcome in many Arab homes. Cardamom is also one of the key ingredients in Indian "chai" tea.

- Botanical Name: Cinnamomum zeylanicum
- Family: Lauraceae
- Composition: 100% Pure Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil

Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil Profile
This luscious cinnamon oil is distilled for Floracopeia from leaves on a sustainable 25-acre farm in Sri Lanka. The leaves are dried and steam-distilled in handmade equipment according to age-old local wisdom. Each distillation takes about 9 hours and, after separating the oil by hand, yields about 3kg of pure essential oil. The hydrosol is then reused for the next batch and the leaves, from which the oil has just been extracted, are immediately dried in the warm breeze and reused as fuel for the next batch, so the process is entirely self-sustaining.
The botanical name is cinnamomum zeylanicum, sometimes also called cinnamomum verum (“true cinnamon”). It is generally referred to as Ceylon cinnamon, Ceylon being the old, pre-independence name for Sri Lanka, the native home of true cinnamon. This is an important distinction as most of the cinnamon and cinnamon oil available in the US is actually cinnamomum cassia, which is a poor cousin of true cinnamon.
How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil
- Diffuser: Cinnamon warms the heart and mind with stimulating, delicious spice. Like other spices, this oil will help to open the breath and to relieve heaviness and lung discomfort. Diffuse a combination of one drop of cinnamon and 6 drops of mandarin oil to encourage relaxation and lift spirits.
Please see safety guidelines for cinnamon oil before use. Cinnamon oil should not be applied directly to the skin as it is extremely dermo-caustic. It can be applied in dilution or in blends to the palms for direct inhalation or massage or used in a diffuser.
Other Ways To Use Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil
- Cinnamon oil is well-placed in a wintertime massage oil blend. One drop of cinnamon in 0.5 oz of carrier oil can be massaged into legs, arms, and joints to warm and relax the body.
Ancient Wisdom for Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil
As a spice, cinnamon has been harvested and traded throughout the ages and has been documented in early medicinal texts as a valuable digestive tonic. The ancient Egyptians used cinnamon steeped in carrier oils for foot massages and as an herbal medicine for digestive problems. It also has a history of being used as an ingredient in love potions and incense.
Most often used as a flavoring agent in foods, cinnamon, in powdered form, has been a staple of international cuisine for centuries. Cinnamon has been studied for its supportive effects in promoting healthy blood sugar balance and insulin response.
Aromatic Profile and Blending of Ceylon Cinnamon Essential Oil
- Perfumery Note: Base to Middle
- Odor: Spicy, woody, resinous; rich and penetrating
- Strength of Initial Aroma: Medium to Strong
