Absolute oils are the essential oils which are highly concentrated and have high potency. These Concentrated absolute oils have high aromatic properties thus they are majorly preferred in cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy. During the postproduction processes these oils are further concentrated to make their absolute.
Dianthus caryophyllus L., family Caryophyllaceae, is native to the Mediterranean area. The genus name comes from the writings of Theophrastus about Dios Anthos, the flower of the gods. Linnaeus chose the species name, caryophyllus, after the genus of clove, as the fragrance from carnations is reminiscent of clove. The name carnation probably comes from its use by the ancient Greeks as a coronation flower.
The flowers of carnation, which are considered to be anti-spasmodic, diaphoretic, alexiteric as well as nervine, are highly fragrant and invigorating. They have been traditionally used in tonic cordials for treating fevers. Also, carnation plants have long been brewed into teas that may help alleviate stress and nervousness. Carnations grown, cultivated and dried into tea brews have also been used to treat minor depression and fatigue. In Europe, folk medicine relied on infusions or teas brewed of carnations to help relieve nervousness and some coronary disorders, as well as for nausea caused by seasickness. Carnation flower tea was widely used to help the body and spirit relax, and to restore energy in the body. Likewise, in traditional Chinese medicine, people have also used the plant in the form of a vermifuge (to expels worms from the intestines). Carnation plants contain relatively elevated amounts of saponins (natural soap-like). You can simmer the leaves of carnation plant in water and the resultant solution can be utilized as soap for cleansing the skin, clothes and so on. The flower of carnation, also commonly known as clove-gilly flower, has been associated with love, weddings and fidelity, and in the Victorian language of flowers, carnation has been a symbol of pure love.
