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.
Lime Blossom or Linden Blossom is particularly
popular in France. Its essential oil is actually an absolute, which
means that the oil is extracted by adding a solvent. Although Linden Blossom grows
widely and is used as herb, the essential oil is hard to come by. It is
cultivated limitedly and mostly in France. The genus is generally
called Lime or Linden in Britain and Linden, Lime,
or Basswood in North America.
Linden blossom essential oil Absolute Therapeutic
Grade comes from the flower of the linden tree (Tilia vulgaris), which
grows in Germany, Bulgaria, France and other parts of Europe. The tree is quite
tall, reaching to 30 to 40 meters, has pea-sized fruits, and scented flowers
that produce honey. Linden Blossom is used more in perfumery than in
aromatherapy, but it works very well on conditions with a prominent emotional
component. It opens the heart and relaxes those that feel they have too much on
their chest. It can be used for migraine, stress related conditions and nervous
tension. It is also beneficial for insomnia, hysterics and stomach conditions
that are due to stress.
