Profile

Worwood says that the fennel personalities are constantly active and always on the move. “They don’t walk…they hurry along…leaping up the stairs rather than waiting for an elevator. Fennels buy exercise tapes to use a home: they belong to swimming clubs and probably play squash at the weekend. They excel any type of competition…at work as well as at Play. (Worwood V. The fragrant mind. Doubleday, Great Britain, 1995)

Foeniculum vulgare plant belongs to the same family as Celery. The Fennel plant is about 7 ft tall. It has yellow flowers and is a highly aromatic and flavorful perennial herb. The plant requires 100 – 115 days to mature before harvest. Harvesting time is difficult to assess because the thickened leaf stalk continues to grow and develop until flowering takes place. There are 2 different varieties of Fennel determined by the seed: – a sweet and a bitter. The seeds are distilled from the flower head, crushed, and distilled to an essential oil. The Sweet Fennel is the preferred variety for use with Aromatherapy The oil is colorless to pale-yellow. Fennel Sweet Essential Oil has a very sweet, liquorice-like aroma, somewhat peppery.

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

 

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

 

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
