▎Essential Oil Introduction
Yarrow essential oil is originates from Pécs, one of the ancient cities in Hungary. It is located between the Danube and Drava rivers. It has a pleasant climate, long sunshine hours throughout the year, and a continental temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest climate. Yarrow is very cold-tolerant and grows in hillside grasslands. It prefers an environment with sufficient sunshine and well-drained soil.
Yarrow is a large perennial herb with dark green leaves that emit a fragrant aroma. Its surface looks like lace or feathers. Its species name millefolium means "thousand leaves", with mini-shaped flowers that bloom in flower heads, is a very ancient and important medicinal herb.
The Latin name comes from Achilles in Greek mythology. It is said that yarrow was Achilles' healing herb on the battlefield. In the classical period, it received the nickname "Herba Militaris", which means "battlefield herb". Also often used as a substitute for German chamomile.
▎Component Analysis
▎Main Components: Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, ketones, oxides
Yarrow (Achilea millefolium) essential oil is obtained through steam distillation, and its composition includes monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, ketones, and oxides. The primary constituents are chamazulene, beta-caryophyllene, alpha- and beta-pinene, sabinene, linalool, 1,8-cineole, bornyl acetate, camphor, borneol, and more.
▸ The pharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties of Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Commonly used to treat gastrointestinal discomfort, hepatobiliary, and gynecological conditions.
▸ Yarrow hydroxyethanol extract: It is an effective ingredient for cosmetics and has great potential to improve the effectiveness of cosmetic ingredients.
｜Component 1: Chamazulene
▸ Azulene is a blue substance formed during the distillation process. Chamazulene is derived from azulene.
▸ In vitro and in vivo models have shown that Chamazulene reverses arthritis inflammation by regulating matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the NF-kβ pathway.
｜Component 2: Sabinene
▸ Sabinene chemical structure.
▸ In research, it was found that sabinene has related research on skeletal muscle atrophy by regulating the MAPK-MuRF-1 pathway in rats.
｜Component 3: beta-caryophyllene
▸ beta-caryophyllene chemical structure.
▸ β-Caryophyllene has been studied to help wound recovery through various pathways.
