Magnolia is an ancient plant with fossils of this botanical family date back 95 million years. She existed prior to the appearance of bees and is believed to have evolved with pollination by beetles. Also called white champaca or white jade orchid tree, magnolia flowers have long been used in Chinese traditional health practices to create a sense of balance within the body. Steam-distilled from the sturdy petals, Magnolia essential oil contains linalool, the component that makes oils such as Lavender and Bergamot great for reducing feelings of stress or anxiousness and inducing calm and peaceful states.ABOUT ADAM BARRALET 'Adam Barralet has been observing and living in tune with nature since childhood.

Litsea cubeba, also known as pheasant pepper or mountain pepper, is a small tree native to China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other parts of Southeast Asia. It is valued not only as a culinary ingredient but also as a traditional medicinal plant and a key raw material for essential oil and high-quality spice production. Every part of Litsea — the root, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit — holds medicinal and culinary significance. It is traditionally used to dispel wind and cold, regulate qi and relieve pain, making it beneficial in treating colds and qi stagnation. The tree yields two types of essential oil: one from the fruit of the female tree and a rarer oil from the flowers of the male tree.ABOUT ADAM BARRALET Adam Barralet has been observing and living in tune with nature since childhood.

Ho Leaf oil derives from the Hon Sho variety of camphor, which occurs mainly in Japan. He is distilled from the leaves and branches of the tree and thus does not smell much at all like camphor (which comes from the wood). Ho Leaf's aroma is more like Rosewood, another popular essential oil that has become endangered due to over-harvesting. Ho Leaf is here to fill the space left open by Rosewood.

Pink pepper is a totally unrelated plant to the better known black pepper. This quick-growing native, at home in regions of South America, reaches about 15 metres tall, and the upper branches are unique because they tend to droop. Small white flowers gather at the ends of the branches and grow fruit with woody seeds. Pink Pepper essential oil is steam-distilled from these fruits. She still has a spicy aroma like Black Pepper, but also possesses floral and fruity notes. ABOUT ADAM BARRALET Adam Barralet has been observing and living in tune with nature since childhood.

The original habitat of the blue lotus was along the Nile river and in other parts of East Africa. However, back in ancient times, it was spread through the Indian subcontinent and Thailand due to the flower's alluring appearance and perfume. From the waters, the flower buds rise to the surface where they open to reveal her blue petals with yellow centre each morning. They close again as the Sun prepares for his evening rest. At Heliopolis, the origin of the world was taught to have been when the Sun god Ra emerged from the lotus flower growing in primordial waters. At night, he would retreat into the flower again.

When gods and goddesses still walked the Earth, Xanat, daughter of the Mexican fertility goddess and a young Totonac mortal man fell deeply in love. Due to Xanat's divine nature their relationship was forbidden and culminated in their deaths together. When their blood was spilt on the earth it transformed into the vanilla orchid that would continue to express the love, pleasure and happiness the couple shared with the world forevermore. Growing in the tropical climates of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northeastern South America is a dazzling orchid with yellow-green flowers. However, it is not the flowers that are this plant's main gift, but rather the seeds within her beans, which possess the rich, beautiful aroma of Vanilla essential oil. This is the only orchid in the world that offers us the edible vanilla bean. Unlike so many other aromatic plants that produce essential oils through steam distillation or cold-pressing, the vanilla orchid's beans do not effectively release their precious aromatic molecules when put through these processes. Rather, it is extracted using carbon dioxide or a solvent to produce what is called Vanilla Absolute.

Around 2000, while living in Austin, TX, she was led to personal “post grad” work in women's spirituality and the goddess. In 2005, after relocating to Northern California, she explored shamanism, Andean mysticism of the Q'ero, bee priestess/shamanism, alchemy, and mythos, and also received an aromatherapy certification with further study in perfumery. While the Sacred Feminine has still maintained a primary focus, the myth of Eros and Psyche and the Four Petal Flower of Teotihuacan have both significantly informed her Soul's journey.

We all have become so aware of the importance of smell the past few years. Especially during the pandemic when many people lost it. On this week's episode, Hana Tisserand, COO, cofounder and director of operations and communications of the Tisserand Institute joins The Essential Oil Revolution. This week, Hana offers her science based and practical wisdom on essential oils; specifically surrounding that of olfactory retraining. What You Will Learn: 1. The history of the Tisserand Institute and why it transformed from in-person integrative practitioner training in aromatherapy to online holistic training in essential oils.  2. How Hana's unique background influenced her to be an expert in essential oils. This includes her growing up in the Czech Republic, where integrative, conventional, and natural approaches co-exist in pharmacies side-by-side and what led her to meet Robert Tisserand. 3. The importance of smell as a chemosensory experience. For example, it alerts us to danger, influences our taste, stimulates memory, and determines how we interact with the world on a sensory and hedonistic basis.  4. What component found in essential oils are the most communicated “language” in the world. These molecules are shared by every creature on the planet, from single-celled organisms to mammals.  5. How essential oils constituents can still impact our biochemistry and physiology, even if you lose your ability to smell. 6. The concept of olfactory training and how it works. 7. Why specific essential oils or the constituents found within them, phenylethanol (rosy), 1,8-cineole (eucalyptus), citronellal (lemony) and eugenol (clove), are used in smell training. We also discuss if essential oils are more powerful than the single constituents based on their multiple effects. 6. Why olfactory training works the best for those with infections and an intact, functioning trigeminal nerve. 7. Why the aim of the Tisserand Institute is to provide education and information that is accurate, safe, and accessible to all essential oil users vs. preparing one for aromatherapist certification. 8. One thing Hana does for self-care daily. (Hint it has to do with her love of aromas and hot beverages.) 9. The one things Hana feels we should ditch and replace with instead to be healthier.  10. Hana's favorite essential oils hack: Using cotton balls/cotton pads for inhalation. It is super easy, quick, portable, safe, and accessible.
