2.2.1 HISTORY OF AROMATHERAPY

Aromatherapy has been polished since aged times. But the existent day of the month ( or clip period ) when aromatherapy might hold been introduced is much debated. Most adept claims that the ancient Egyptian was the first to pattern aromatherapy. Ancient Egyptians disposal distinguished the physical and religious belongingss of these oils and used them in their day-to-day life. The Egyptians used these oils for their embalmment method and over clip they became cognizant of the mending belongingss of these oils ( 2 ) ( hypertext transfer protocol: //www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/psychology/health_psychology/what_is_aromathery.html )

Egypt was considered the birth topographic point of aroma. It’s been 6,000 ago, Egypt discover the curative net incomes of rub downing with indispensable oil. The usage of aromatics spread all around history from Egypt to Israel, Rome, Greek, and the whole Mediterranean universe. Each society formed patterns of aroma utilizing oil, but during that age, a great trade about this acquisition might hold been lost. India is the lone topographic point in the universe where this usage has been ne’er lost.

Essential oil landed in Europe from antediluvian states through reformers. The Europeans use this acquisition to their local workss, for illustration lavender, rosemary and thyme. These oil were non accessible to normal or mean individuals, because they were really expensive. Therefore there was a diminution used of indispensable oil.

The Gallic chemist Dr. Rene-Maurice Gattefosse who is considered the “father” of modern twenty-four hours aromatherapy was the first to utilize the term “aromatherapy” in the twelvemonth 1928. He was really working in his family’s aroma concern and highly fire himself in a bad luck. He burn his manus what’s more forearm to 3rd grade. He puts his manus to the nearest VAT of cold liquid to decrease the hurting. The liquid was lavender oil. He was shocked to happen as much torment lessening and there was no inflammation, redness or rankling. He realized that lavender was mending the burn. The burn cured without a hint or a cicatrix.

For Dr. Gattefosse, this started a life-time of find for him larning about indispensable oil. He began to look into lavender oil and continued continuing a big figure of other oils get downing from different workss. He learned after his many researched that the mending belongingss of workss originate in the indispensable oils. In 1937, he published a book on anti-microbial effects of the oils.

An probe of history after World War 2 introduces us to Dr. Gattefosse co-worker Dr. Jean Valnet, who was a curative Doctor. He started his ain probe on the belongingss of indispensable oil during the twelvemonth after World War 1. He was a renewing physician in the Gallic armed force during World War 2. Treating assorted kind of lesion. There was an efficiency of supplies and medical specialties run out including antibiotics. He tried indispensable oils, the lesion mended rapidly and infection was lessen. Many combatants were saved due to indispensable oil.

Dr. Jean Valnet has written about indispensable oil therapy and in 1964 published the art of aromatherapy and the motion in Europe had metempsychosis. Around those same clip, a Gallic adult male Albert Coureur, published a book on medical utilizations of indispensable oil and Madam Marguerite Maury, a Gallic biochemist make an exceeding system of using indispensable oil to the tegument with massage and established the 1staromatherapy centre in Paris, Great Britain and Switzerland and learned the rejuvenating belongingss of indispensable oils. “Her research was published as The Secret of Life and Youth ( 1964 ) . Micheline Arcier surveies and worked with Maury and valvet and their combined techniques created a signifier of aromatherapy that is now used around the universe.

Many other Gallic medical physicians deeply skilled in curative indispensable oil followed Gattefosse and Valnet. Today thousand pattern aromatherapy in Russia, France, the Ukrain, England and many other states. Most people do non cognize how indispensable oil went to united provinces but if we look at history, we figure a 3rd coevals characteristic therapist from Switzerland, Anna Marie Butler continued the research of indispensable oil. She gets into contact with Dr. Lapraz and Dr. Durrafourd medical practician with indispensable oil. They were besides the president and General Secretary of the Gallic Phyto-Therapy and Aromatherapy association. She took her extended instruction through these and set up the “phyto-Aromatherapy” institute in the united province to go on her research on indispensable oil.

“as we all hunt for good wellness and look back to the beginning of a circle. Our ascendants gathered medical workss and herbs to make place redresss for all sort of illness” .

With scientific discipline exploratory promotion and the presentation of different sorts of chemical drugs, medical specialties we began to put our well-being in the custodies of the medical foundation. For a pill or medicine of some kind for about any complaint ( along with side effects ) we attempt to mend our organic structures and wellness when they are broken alternatively of maintaining them from interrupting in the first topographic point.

As a consequence we distance ourselves with nature and the natural ways that could by and large assist us keep our well-being ( mentally and physically ) . Our organic structure can make good occupation at forestalling unwellness and illness if we take good attention of it and supply it with the right things. Our organic structure were non made to procedure chemicals. These same chemicals can be used in natural signifier ( from works non manufactured transcripts ) to maintain us traveling without side effects. ( 3 )

Imposter Perfumes Analysis Theory

FACH2702 Practical Analysis of imposter perfumes Aim: To determine which out of 4 unknown samples are genuine perfumes, and which are imposter/fake perfumes. This will be done by analysing gas chromatography plots, and comparing the components in the samples to that of a known standard perfume. Results: To determine which of the four sample perfumes where imposter and which were real, components present in each perfume were analysed using gas chromatography and compared to the known real perfume sample. The components identified for comparison included vanillin, 3-penten-2-one, diethyl phthalate and cyclopentanaecetic acid.

The relative concentration of each of the components in the samples was calculated for comparison. In the control sample, the relative concentration of each of these components were calculated using the area under each of the peaks (appendix 3): The same was done for unknown perfume sample 1 and it was found that while the relative concentrations of each component were close to the control perfume, they were not close enough to conclude that the sample was a real perfume, (however a very good rip off). (appendix 4)

After analysing perfume sample 2, we could conclude that this sample was an imposter perfume as there was a significant increase in both 3-pentan-2-one and cyclopentanaecetic acid, to substitute for the loss in diethyl phthalate. (appendix 5). Sample 3 showed relative concentrations of each compound that were very close to the control sample, hence it was classed as a real perfume (appendix 6) It was found that sample 4’s relative concentrations of each component were completely off that of the control perfume, hence it is an imposter perfume. appendix 7) Discussion: There weren’t many areas for errors in this practical that would be attributed to our own human error. The gas chromatographer itself was very repeatable and hence the only error in the computers results would be due to a calibration error. Another error in this experiment could be linked to the preparation of the samples, some components in the perfumes are very volatile and hence if the cap were left off the perfume, concentrations of those components would decrease, altering the detection during analysis.

Conclusion: Using Gas chromatography, the components vanillin, diethyl phthalate, 3-pentan-2-one and cyclopentanaecetic acid were analysed in four samples and their relative concentrations were calculated and compared to a known control perfume sample. From these calculations, it was concluded that samples 1,2 and 4 were imposter perfumes, while sample 3 had very similar relative concentrations of its compounds and was hence classed as a real perfume.

Neem Oil As Mosquito Repellent Incense

NEEM (Azadirachta indica) OIL USED IN AN OIL BURNER AS INCENSE MOSQUITO REPELLENT LEADER: OCAMPO, YSABELLA ASST. LEADER: BALASOTO, JANUS MEMBERS: ALLASAS, PATRICIA CASTANARES, JASON MIRANDA, CHRISTIAN NEEM (Azadirachta indica) OIL USED IN AN OIL BURNER AS INCENSE MOSQUITO REPELLENT INTRODUCTION Mosquitoes are well-known pests to the entire human race. Later in the 90s, they discovered that these arthropods are also carriers responsible for transmission of devastating diseases to mankind. They transmit diseases by feeding on blood from vertebrates, including us humans.

As years gone by, many studied: the relationship between the mosquitoes and the diseases they carry; the possible ways of eliminating or preventing the spread by these diseases in areas observed to have a large number of victims. Mosquitoes thrive in moist and relatively warm environments just like what Tropical Countries are. Tropical Countries are home to most number of species of mosquitoes. Our country, the Philippines, is among the Tropical Countries. Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles are among the most common species of mosquitoes and they carry a vicious disease namely Dengue, Malaria and Yellow Fever which can kill a human.

These diseases are common yet deadly diseases to us and the number of victims are still drastically increasing. This leaves some authorities arguing whether mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals to mankind. The average life p of the female mosquito is three to 100 days; the male mosquito will survive 10 to 20 days, but we are not waiting that long for the mosquitoes to die for us to be safe. Neem oil is a natural substance extracted from the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen native to India.

Long used in certain systems of traditional medicine (such as ayurveda), neem oil is thought to offer a number of benefits when applied to the skin and/or hair. Neem oil contains several fatty acids thought to be beneficial to the skin, such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. Some proponents also suggest that neem oil can act as a natural insect repellent. Known as “azadirachtins,” certain compounds found in neem oil are thought to possess insecticidal properties. (Wong, 2012) In 1994 the the Malaria Research Center of Delhi, India tested whether kerosene lamps with 1% Neem oil can protect people from mosquito bites.

For that test they burned the lamps in living rooms, and from 6 pm to 6 am caught the mosquitoes sitting on the walls and those attracted to human bait (i. e. volunteers). Neem oil clearly reduced the number of bites on the volunteers and also the number of mosquitoes caught. The protection was greater against anopheles species (the ones that transmit malaria) than against culex. A 1995 study at a field station at the Malaria Research Centre in Ranipur, Hardwar, India tested a mix of 2% neem oil mixed in coconut oil.

They showed that applying that mixture to the skin provided significant protection from various mosquitoes. It worked best against anophelines, offering 96-100% protection. The malaria transmitting anopheles mosquitoes fall into this group. The numbers for other species were 85% for aedes (carries dengue fever), 61-94% for Culex spp. (can carry West Nile virus) and 35% for Armigeres. In 1996 the Malaria Research Center of Delhi, India did another field trial with kerosene lamps in an Indian village. Kerosene lamps with 1% Neem oil were kept burning from dusk to dawn in living rooms.

They found that the lamps kept the mosquitoes out of the living rooms and that the malaria incidents of the population dropped dramatically (from about ten cases per thousand people to only one per thousand). Once the lamps were removed, the mosquitoes returned and so did the malaria. As for the safety of this method another 1996 study by the Malaria Research Centre in Delhi, India tested the effects of kerosene lamps with 1% neem oil. Clinical examination of 156 adults and 110 children did not reveal any major adverse effects after one year of exposure to 1% neem oil.

This shows that depending upon what species of mosquito you are dealing with, effectiveness of use varies. For malaria protection Neem oil is fantastic. If you combine the 96-100% protection rate of the home made mosquito repellent with burning Neem oil when sitting outside and wearing sensible clothing you are well protected indeed. A. Statement of the Problem. The number of victims of Malaria, Yellow Fever, and specially Dengue is drastically increasing as PIA or Philippine Information Agency has confirmed. B.

Objective of the Study. This study aims to know if the neem oil used as incense added with herbs and other aromatic flowers will be an effective mosquito repellent. The main objective of this study is to know if our Neem Oil Incense along with other herbs will be enough to repel the mosquitoes from our skins and prevent them from biting us and for how long will it be able to repel the mosquitoes. C. Significance of the Study. This study is significant in solving problems relating the diseases brought by mosquitoes.

The incense will repel the mosquitoes that carry diseases from the citizens living in areas with a large mosquito population. We will observe if the number of victims in a specific community will decrease once the incense is implied and used. Since our research is aiming if our Neem Oil Incense will be enough to prevent the mosquitoes from biting us, this shall help our community lessen victims of the notorious mosquitoes. METHODOLOGY A. The primary materials needed for this experiment are oil burner and neem oil. Sampaguita and lemon grass will be added to the neem oil to ensure an aromatic scent.

The sampaguita and lemon grass does not necessarily affect the properties of neem in repelling the mosquitoes. B. Neem oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the neem (Azadirachta indica), an evergreen tree which is endemic to the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced to many other areas in the tropics. You can buy neem oil in Research Agencies like the International Rice Research Institute located in UPLB, Phil. The sampaguita’s and lemon grass’s juices will be pressed with 1 ml of water until their juices are extracted.

The juices of sampaguita and lemon grass will be added to the mixture. This will improve the scent of the neem mixture. The mixture will be placed in the oil burner. We will light the burners for 6-10 hours. There will be 3 cages each having two hours of difference. Cage A’s burner will be lit for 6 hours. Cage B’s burner will be lit for 8 hours. Lastly, Cage C’s burner will be lit for 10 hours. We will observe if the number of hours the burner will be lit has a great effect in the “repellance” of the neem oil.

Since we are aiming on how to repel mosquitoes, we should know first how to attract them in order to know how effective our research will be. We will lure mosquitoes by putting on sweet-smelling lotions or creams. Invest in floral-smelling perfumes. To mosquitoes, these products are sweet-smelling like blood. These fragrances cause the mosquitoes to associate their floral scent for a possible blood supply. And then, as said earlier, we will test each cage with different number of hours.

Rupture of Senses

“In a room full of business people, one would get information about which individuals were important, which were confident, which were sexually receptive, which in conflict, all through smell. The difference is that we don’t have a trigger response. We’re aware of smell, but we don’t automatically react in certain ways because of it, as most animals would.”

–Apparently something that words alone could not exactly describe, smell envelopes us in a way that it appears to be a sort of aura that we produce around us. In a room where people of different personalities, status, and position are thrown together, the difference in smell could be used to identify who is who.

A rich person might smell of a very delicate and expensive fragrance whereas a commoner would have the natural bodily scent, unaltered by colognes or perfumes.

“When a man gets involved with a woman for any length of time, his facial hair starts to grow faster than it did before. Women who are cloistered away from men (in a boarding school, say), enter puberty later than women who are around men.

Mothers recognize the odor of their newborn children, and vice versa, so some doctors are experimenting with giving children bursts of their mothers’ odor, along with the anesthetic, during operations. Babies can smell their mother entering a room, even if they can’t see her.” (29)

–Smell is always accompanied by much stronger pheromones that all members of the animal kingdom have. These pheromones are not only valuable for marking territories and leaving traces for other animals to find but it is also quite significant for humans. While human pheromones are not yet exactly identified, subconsciously, people can guess at the origin of a certain scent.

This is particularly obvious when it concerns mother and child. It may be attributed to the fact that they spent nine months attached to each other that they have established such a strong bond. But smell is something that pretty resembles a fingerprint. And this certain “print” is what attract babies to their mothers and vice versa.

Men, on the other hand, naturally find a female at certain points of their life. Having a woman or being involved with a woman perhaps increases or intensifies the effects of pheromones that it increases the production of hormones, in effect having the facial hairs grow more rapidly than usual.
