Their immediate understanding led to a project to market artisanal, agroecological EO locally, under the Fleur de Jade brand. <\/p>\n<p>Julien explains that an EO &#8220;is a compound of various molecules synthesized by plants, from elements in the soil and their symbiosis with living beings in the environment&#8221;. This plant concentrate of active ingredients containing pure natural chemical entities (not mixed with other substances) is related to various factors: the species, variety and health of the plant; the composition, structure and life of the soil; the presence of water; the extraction method and quality&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the aromatic properties of these molecules, scientific research and publications have highlighted their medicinal virtues. Depending on the target therapeutic action, different modes of administration are recommended &#8211; cutaneous, oral, respiratory&#8230; &#8211; and the properties are numerous. Antiviral, antibacterial, soothing or stimulating, anti-inflammatory, analgesic or healing&#8230; an aromatherapist is the best support in the use of EOs.  <\/p>\n<p>Julien&#8217;s favorite is the relaxing essential oil of bigarade<em>(Citrus aurantium<\/em>), whose fascinating history he&#8217;ll tell you all about, but Michel&#8217;s agroecological orchard also produces essential oils of grapefruit, mangy lemon, calamondin&#8230; 100% pure and natural, using an artisanal process that respects the environment and the well-being of consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Fleur de Jade &#8211; 5795 2206 &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:fleurjadeabeille@gmail.com\">fleurjadeabeille@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alongside agronomist Julien Boulle, a specialist in tropical plant production, agroforestry and agroecology, we take a look at the active principles of these concentrates of powerful aromatic compounds: essential oils (EO).
