Wheat (Triticum spp.)
has a long history of crop domestication, which revolutionized human cultural
evolution and led to the emergence of human civilization. Modern wheat
cultivars mainly consist of two polyploid species such as hexaploid bread wheat
(Triticum aestivum) and tetraploid hard or durum wheat (Triticum
turgidum) used for macaroni and low-rising bread. Another kind of
cultivated diploid species einkorn wheat (Triticum momococcum) is a
relic and only exists in some mountainous Mediterranean regions. Approximately
95% of the wheat currently grown worldwide is hexaploid bread wheat and the
remaining 5% are mainly tetraploid durum wheat. Wheat is considered as the
world's largest and most important cereal crop for human staple food, with an
annual production of > 700 million tonnes produced globally over the
past few years.
Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil
is an oil expressed or extracted from the germ of Triticum vulgare. Triticum
Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil contains significant amounts of Vitamin E, an essential
factor in the human diet, which has led to its use as a dietary supplement.
Since Wheat Germ (The embryonic form of a grain from which a new organism is
developed.) Oil is obtained from natural sources; the amount of Vitamin E can
vary based on different varieties of wheat grown under variable climatic
conditions.
Essential oils are distilled from
the aromatic leaves, bark, and roots of plants. If applied to the skin
directly, they can cause reactions, such as severe irritation, redness or
burning.
Carrier oils and essential oils
are made from plants. Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and
“carry” them to skin. That’s because essential oils are potent and can cause
irritation when applied directly to skin. Most carrier oils are unscented or
lightly scented and don’t interfere with an essential oil’s therapeutic
properties. They may be used alone or with other oils to nourish skin.
Carrier oils are used to dilute
the essential oils and help “carry” them into the skin. Aloe vera gels and
unscented body lotion are also sometimes used as carriers.
To be used in aromatherapy, it is
recommended that the oil is obtained through cold pressing. In this process,
the oil is extracted by crushing the plants. Users claim that the fragile
nutrients in the oil can be damaged if they are extracted with heat.
Venkatramna’s carrier Oils are extracted from the Cold Pressed method to retain
their properties.
