▎精油簡介
羅馬洋甘菊擁有類似蘋果的香氣,因此名稱源自於希臘chamaimelon,地上的蘋果之意,6-7月開花,草長50-70cm,1年生草本植物,和德國洋甘菊外觀不同在於,黃色花蕊較低。多年生的羅馬洋甘菊是低矮的地披植物,是植物醫生,只要種在羅馬洋甘菊附近的植物,都較少生病,據說它的根系分泌的植物,可以幫助附近植物恢復生氣。
羅馬洋甘菊有很多品種,包括重瓣品種,它從1932年就培育出來作為白金漢宮花園當中的洋甘菊草皮。在《植物人格全書》羅馬洋甘菊歸入「照顧者人格」,因為酯類具有「愛與支持」,而且是如同父母般無微不至的家人之愛,是原始安全感的來源。所以它特別具有情緒平衡的功效,適用於安撫那些內心脆弱、缺乏安全感、容易受傷,對遭遇的事物過度詮釋的人。
▎成分解析
|主要成分:酯類
▸ 其成分主要有,另外有檸檬烯(limonene)、α-蒎烯(pinene),以及松香芹酮(carvone)(使羅馬洋甘菊散發些許帶有青草味),也是化解瘀塞凝滯的高手。雖然羅馬洋甘菊含有微量酮,在正確使用下不會造成神經毒性的問題,在芳香療法中,是最被廣泛運用的精油。
|成分:歐白芷酸異丁酯(Isobutyl angelate)
▸ 甲基戊二酸酯(Isobutyl angelate)或稱當歸酸異丁酯,「Isobuty」表示來自異丁醇,「angelate」來自歐白芷酸,和歐白芷酸異戊酯,再精油是屬於酯類中罕見的脂肪酸類,也是讓羅馬洋甘菊散發蘋果香氣的成分,其含量高達75%以上。
▸ 從GC/MS分析出歐白芷酸異丁酯(Isobutyl angelate),歐白芷酸異戊酯(Isoamyl angelate)和異丁酸2-甲基丁酯(2‐methylbutyl isobutyrate)是羅馬洋甘菊的主要成分,且這些化合物顯著促進了小鼠的活動,因此被確定為羅馬洋甘菊精油(CHA)的主要活性成分。研究中也顯示活性成分與神經傳遞物質多巴胺相似。
