Achillea millefolium oil.

ACHILLEA IS A VERY SIMPLE VEGETABLE: IT GROWS EVERYWHERE, IN THE MARGINS OF THE CITY ROADS SO AS ON THE MOUNTAINS.
TO THE BEGINNING, WHEN I BEGAN TO APPROACH THE WORLD OF OFFICINAL PLANTS, I WAS ASTONISHED ABOUT THE FORCE OF THIS LITTLE VEGETABLE: IT DOES NOT FEAR ANYTHING, YOU FIND IT EVERYWHERE, SO I SAID THAT IF THIS FORCE IN RESISTING IN ANY CONDITION HAS A CORRESPONDENCE IN THE CONTENT OF ACTIVE PRINCIPLES, THIS MUST BE A FANTASTIC PLANT.
DAY AFTER DAY I HAVE INCREASED THE RESEARCHES, READING BUT ABOVE ALL ASKING WHO HAS MADE USING THE PLANTS A LIFE STYLE .
I HAVE DISCOVERED WONDERFUL THINGS: IT HAS HEALING PROPERTIES AND, IF USED REGULARLY, IT IS VERY GOOD IN HELPING FOR SMALL WRINKLES OR SKIN LADDER.
PASSING THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY ABLE TO SEE WITH MY OWN EYES ALL THE BENEFITS THAT THESE WHITE LITTLE FLOWERS CAN GIVE US. I MAKE A WIDE USE OF THIS OIL, ABOVE ALL IN WINTER, CAUSE IT MAKES THE SKIN SOFT AND ELASTIC.
NOW I COULD FILL UP THIS SPACE WITH TECHNICAL WORDS, WITH COMPLICATED ANALYSES, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM THE CASE: MANY HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO, WITHOUT INSTRUMENTS BUT THE SIMPLE EMPIRICISM, STARTED THE USE OF ACHILLEA AND FROM THIS THEY ARRIVED UNTIL THE FORMULATION OF OUR MODERN DRUGS THAT SOMETIMES THEY ARE LIMITED TO COPY THROUGH CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS ONE OR SOME OF ACTIVE PRINCIPLES CONTAINED IN THE ORIGINAL.
I THINK THAT FOR THE HERBORISTS OF THE ANCIENT TIME IT WAS ENOUGH TO WATCH AND TO LISTEN WHAT THESE WONDERFUL PLANTS SAY WITH THEIR SCENTS AND THEIR COLORS: THEY COMMUNICATE IN SIMPLE WAY AND TO UNDERSTAND WE MUST LET OURSELVES GO TO OUR HIDDEN FEELINGS. SO ALL WE NEED IS A LOT OF PASSION AND SIMPLICITY.
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE ACHILLEA OIL I COLLECT THE LITTLE FLOWERS, THEN THEY ARE PUT TO MACERATE IN OIL. IT IS ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR 20 DAYS, SO THE BETTER PART OF THE PLANT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE OIL. THE OIL MUST BE FILTERED AND CONSERVED IN BOTTLES OF DARK GLASS, AND EVERYTIME YOU WILL USE IT, YOU WILL SEE HOW MUCH STRONG IS THE NATURE.
